Julie's sick and tired of her job n'all the reasons lately   She took it out on God and laid her soul to hell and let the baby die   Julie's child was born without a need or a reason for being   She took it as a message from a real and a distant life      Shirley gets to help her with the child though   She's strung out on crack time   Shirley never knew what it was to be held in real love   Together getting high to get to mess up their night   Anything to get up so they're losing their mind   Just to get high, breking out from this life, gotta get them a drug to get   Higher      Julie gets to walking out and drags the child, says "come on"   How we'll walk in the dark of the morning   Cars screaming round the corner, drugged to heaven,   Guns are loaded,   Locked in vengeance      Who shoots the child?       Watching in the ghetto is the spine and the cruel of the gang life   Sign language of the get go you get in the gang life   Fear the only law, fear is all we hear about,   Feed us in the raw, fear is all we fear about   Listen, get up, quickly get up, get up   It's the answer to punishment given you      Don't give us reasons,   Caught in the crossfire dying   God give us reasons,   Don't give a reason, God give a reason   Why lay dead a child's life?
