Aint no love on this street
Aint no love in this park if you don’t believe me
Come through here when it’s dark
SET THE TRAP CATCH THE MOUSE
STOP THE MADNESS IN MY HOUSE
Police? You don’t see them that much
They only come around when they want to rough us up
You see the meat wagon all the time and CSI investigating crime
The ambulance roars through here all the time too
Smells like blood and death to me
Looks like a zoo
SET THE TRAP CATCH THE MOUSE
STOP THE MADNESS IN MY HOUSE
I passed a mugging the other day
The mugger stopped mugging
Looked up at me and said hey
I looked at him and said wuz up
Kept walking and looked the other way
I recognized the face it was an old classmate
SET THE TRAP CATCH THE MOUSE
STOP THE MADNESS IN MY HOUSE
The prostitutes are getting younger everyday
A pimp was chasing one and she ran my way
Then he caught her and proceeded
To put that smack down on her
She looked up at me as I passed
I said hey then looked the other way
I recognized the face it was my neighbors
14-year-old daughter
SET THE TRAP CATCH THE MOUSE
STOP THE MADNESS IN MY HOUSE
That rotten smell is brain decay
Folks around here don’t use them so they go to waste
They are alive though they’re dead
10-year-old gangbanger
9-year-old dope slingers
My nephew says it takes heart to shoot a man
No all it takes is a gun in your hand and pull the trigger, man
I smell misery, blood and pain
When it rains I smell wet misery, blood and pain
SET THE TRAP CATCH THE MOUSE
STOP THE MADNESS IN MY HOUSE
I can’t get dressed for another funeral
I can’t do it I just can’t go
I went to a homeboys wedding
It sure was nice 6 weeks later
My man killed his wife
SET THE TRAP CATCH THE MOUSE
STOP THE MADNESS IN MY HOUSE
I see this sh*t on daily basis
Going down with familiar faces
Don’t talk to me about change
These people out here are losing their sane
Babies crying cause their stomachs full of air
Mama on the corner and she don’t care
I walk down the block under my shoulder I tuck a book
I keep a pen and a pad so I get strange looks
I hear gunshots so I hit the ground
There is nothing like it, guns have a distinctive sound
When you here POP, POP, POP you better get down
SET THE TRAP CATCH THE MOUSE
STOP THE MADNESS IN MY HOUSE
Helicopters fly so low you can look at the ground and see the shadow
I can’t go in a store without being followed around
I get so mad I just want to knock something down
Why give them a reason to shoot me in the back
Just put your merchandise and money on the counter
And step the hell back
They think everybody black is on crack
Selling or on smack or out to jack
The police stopped me the other day
Questioning me about my tattoo
I told them I got it because I was born feeling blue
They accused me of being gang affiliated
This profiling sh*t I really hate it
SET THE TRAP CATCH THE MOUSE
STOP THE MADNESS IN MY HOUSE
I went to visit my mother who lives on the other side
She was telling me that a friend of hers had died
I saw my sister and before I could say hi
She told me a friend of ours just got killed in a drive by
I looked at my brother and he said don’t even look my
Way I don’t have any good news to report today
A friend of mines just got killed yesterday
