Forward,forward, back, back, back   I've fallen and I can't get up and I'm slipping through the cracks   I'm in a crisis and I can't afford the prices   No means to feed my family, never mind the nices   No escape, no pleasure   I really can't seem to get my shit together   Can't protect my children from the weather   Me and my baby skin grows the toughest leather      [CHORUS X2]   Where do they go?   When it rains   Where do they go?   When it snows   Where do they go?   When the cold winds blow   Where do they go?   When we are warm behind closed doors      The children cry themselves to sleep   Another night with no food to eat   Tear soaked pillow is a step of concrete   It's enough to drive me to rob steal kill or cheat   You may ask how can you live this rigid life   No means to feed or house your babies and your wife   As I will, I sunk to depths you can't fathom   My lifes a blunder, it's no wonder why you can't imagine      [CHORUS X2]      [REGGAE BREAKDOWN]      Dem a go back down, dem a go way out   Back to this real world we live in   Dem a too far down, dem a too far out   For the real concern we're givin'   Dem all rob and steal, shoot up and kill   Is the common misconception   We all justify, we all ease our minds   With these deceptions      Now if life was a thing that money coulda buy   Then the rich man would make war and the poor man would fight   The rich mother would pity while the poor mother would cry   While the rich make excuses and the poor people die      Type a thing make I wanna go run and hide   Back to me condo over off of Rodeo Dr.   Grab a beer, try to remember a verse from the Bible   Put on me Tivo and see who's off American Idol      [CHORUS X2]
