[Chorus]
(What about us?) What about my n***as still out on the street?
(What about us?) What about my partners doin' time?
(What about us?) What about this harrassment from the police?
(What about us?) What about my young thugs dying?
(What about us?) What about my n***as still on the street? (Still on the streets)
(What about us?) What about my partners doin' time?
(What about us?) What about this harrassment from the police?
(What about us?) What about my young thugs dying?

[Verse: Layzie Bone]
This for my, incarcerated n***as
That's stuck in the pen they coming home
Gotta stay strong cause you ain't alone
Remember you always got love from home
But still it's pain and may not know it
I'm a boy and I gotta show it
And I hear the cries from the babies
That wish they had a chance and don't wanna blow it
For the unemployed, all of them little girls and boys
You got'sa, love your mom and daddy
And maybe one day you can give them toys
Oh boy, its getting deeper, more expensive, then never cheaper
But what about that little n***a running the streets
Making a living through his beeper
What about these whack ass politicians
Don't care if we live or die
What about them elderly barely breathing, gotta survive off SSI
They say America, the land of the free and the home of the brave
It's mass hysteria, so bring your needs and hope you get paid
And if they bury us, at least we can live as we believe
Dog, they never can break our pride
Ain't nothing they do can keep us weak
And all of my soldiers come together
Get on your feet, be ready to bust
What about the war they fighting on terrorism? (fuck that)
What about this war against us?
[Chorus]
(What about us?) What about my n***as still out on the street?
(What about us?) What about my partners doin' time?
(What about us?) What about this harrassment from the police?
(What about us?) What about my young thugs dying?
(What about us?) What about my n***as still on the street? (Still on the streets)
(What about us?) What about my partners doin' time?
(What about us?) What about this harrassment from the police?
(What about us?) What about my young thugs dying?

[Verse: Wish Bone]
What about them thugs that's dead and gone
What about them thugs that ain't even grown
What about them thugs that's out here lost
And ain't gon' never find their way home
Suspicion got you furious, so grab your shit and go on listen to us
It's violence, but violence is the only way they gonna respect us
Resist system, with a ghetto background, wrong place, wrong time
You'll be domed, how they sleep at night when they know they be lying?
This shit we deal wit', we young black and fearless
Living in the ghetto, they gave us the ghetto so the ghetto is all that we know
They beat us down for dumb shit, then they lock us up for dumb shit
Find out that I'm innocent and still gotta fight for money they owe me
And they wonder why we riot in the damn streets
They can't hold us down we getting it now, That money
And watch what I tell ya, everybody wants some
How they get it they don't care
Try to kick it when you spittin' real smooth
But they listening in my business trying to fuck up my move
[Chorus]
(What about us?) What about my n***as still out on the street?
(What about us?) What about my partners doin' time?
(What about us?) What about this harrassment from the police?
(What about us?) What about my young thugs dying?
(What about us?) What about my n***as still on the street? (Still on the streets)
(What about us?) What about my partners doin' time?
(What about us?) What about this harrassment from the police?
(What about us?) What about my young thugs dying?

[Verse: Bizzy Bone]
Dead n***as I've been to war with
Toured with, (huh) I seen it all
Like soap operas on ghetto skulls
I can tell when rappers getting bored with it
Sometimes she a bitch, sometimes my lady
And at times, when n***as died, she held me like I was a baby
The simplest things in life was always the best
Breathing your last breath of fresh chronic in your chest
Hey somebody call my momma! and hold me one more time
Before I die my momma she carried me no karma
N***as bitches and drama
I can recollect walking and stoppin'
Pops not even checking on me, juvenile delinquent
And baby, jail was beckonin' me
The P.O. injected me in a runaway slave
And fuck a Latch Key Kid
Can't wait for pops to see all the shit that I did
Like spittin' on them foxies skied up
In the pot with my nigs
This ain't the life that I love
It's the life that I live
And it's a life full of lust n***a
[Chorus]
(What about us?) What about my n***as still out on the street?
(What about us?) What about my partners doin' time?
(What about us?) What about this harrassment from the police?
(What about us?) What about my young thugs dying?
(What about us?) What about my n***as still on the street? (Still on the streets)
(What about us?) What about my partners doin' time?
(What about us?) What about this harrassment from the police?
(What about us?) What about my young thugs dying?

[Verse: Krayzie Bone]
My partner called me after court
He said they got 25 to life just for slingin' some dope
Then making some cheese just to feed his folks
Now daylight come, but he won't go home
Its sad cause it was a setup for us to get caught up and trapped by po-po fo sho'
What about our boys and young girls
In their wicked young world
Coming to school wit' heaters bustin' their teachers
Whatever happened to family and the humanity we posses
What about our babies, that struggling in this mess, don't strees
What about the crooked coppers scaring these n***as off in the hood
What about them n***as that be getting blown off the block if they good?
See most of my n***as still on the street
Still struggling, hustlin' trying to get something eat
Some of them resting in piece, still some will never get free
Bone Thug gotta show love, keep it trill, really real
And let 'em know about us

[Chorus]
(What about us?) What about my n***as still out on the street?
(What about us?) What about my partners doin' time?
(What about us?) What about this harrassment from the police?
(What about us?) What about my young thugs dying?
(What about us?) What about my n***as still on the street? (Still on the streets)
(What about us?) What about my partners doin' time?
(What about us?) What about this harrassment from the police?
(What about us?) What about my young thugs dying?

What about us? (Repeat till end)
