[Intro 1]
[Em]
[G][Em]
[D][Em]

[Verse 1]
Sometimes words [Em]are
enough to kill over
Thanksgiving didn't give
So what should [D]I hope for
I keep [Em]on looking for job
But job seems not to like me
What else my doors kick
off [D]the hedges
[Em]Somebody just fill they Christmas list
Off me and the family
And damn I just miss them
[D]Felt like [Em]I've been raped
A figures been through my drawers
Always read the times in
between the black
Spent [D]my summers in that [Em]country
So I consider myself a Jack
Some left this world by [B]putting
bullet[Em]s in they head
But little [B]Johnnie across the street
Hung [Em]his self from his bunk- bed
[B]Had to go [Em]to court in the mornin'
Nothing [Bm]hard about [B]it
My little [Em]partner was just scared
How scared Gipp that scared

[Verse 2]
When I was be G [Em]Used
to think I couldn't be hit
None of my homies carried guns
All I had was a [D]stick
Coming out hard was [Em]the way
from day one
One of the smallest
motherfuckers in the crew
[D]But you knew and feel the
[Em]type of niggas that kill
Be the ones that's out to prove something
To them other niggas cause
They already know [B]the outcome
[Em]What's going down at the party
So many fine hoes nobody knows why
We buck, [Bm]I guess we up in [Em]a rut
Looking for but at the same time
[Bm]Up in the Flame [Em]supporting
girls up in the game
[Bm]Out to get a [Em]piece of what the system
Has designed black folks to struggle for
So I bust, so much to [D]deal
with
[Em]Can't feel what's real
from fake
For my sake I [Bm]stay close to [Em]home
So them crackers don't take and
Never [Bm]give back to my [Em]hood
In desperate need of change
Be this way to
We arrange it to be fit me
Growing [D]up on Sesame [Em]Street

[Verse 3]
Can [Em]you feel, what I feel?
Can you hear, what I hear?
[D]Can you [Em]see what I see?
When ma feet hit the streets
What you know?
What you know?
Can you feel, what I feel?
Can you hear, what I hear?
Can you see what I see?
When ma feet hit the streets
What you know?
What you know about Sesame Street?

[Verse 4]
Georgia Power wants [Em]to put
me in the dark
But one spark
I see Sammy streak [D]to ma spot
[Em]In this red Fred Sanford
truck undercover
But he geela folks [D]for the class "A" sub
[Em]stances narcotics
Ole shought stopping ask?
Can be "shock- ca- locka"?
Um to mad to be scared
So for the price if you go it
Like that to be the boss you
gladly pay it
An arm and a leg I'd be ly
[D]ing if I say [Em]I ain't
Need no help, can't do it by my[Bm]self
It's rain[Em]ing sesame
Cause it's only so [Bm]much time
left [Em]in this crazy world
Mates in prison [Bm]guards life [Em]with the hamma
So excuse ma grammar
Behind the walls of Atlanta, Federal Penn
The [Bm]tait on "Fred Stock" the
[Em]cell blox wit no C.O.'s
[Bm]Equi[Em]pped with radios
The system [Bm]is fraud and the
[Em]se curity camera
Now have we an eye[Bm]ball
on [Em]it yet
The second stage denied
I wonder if I get another trial

[Verse 5]
Remember me from way back [Em]in
the days
Lived right around the corner
from Benjamin Mays
I'm amazed that we made it this far
A poor black family is all that we are
Wishing upon a star
For a trace of happiness
My mama do her best but she ain't
making no progress
Maybe it's a test that we
all gotta pass
My situations making me grow too fast
13 and a half years old
standing at the bus stop
Alone in the cold [D]on my
way to [Em]be degraded
For a fee to help get my family off
this street called Ses[D]ame
[Em]Can you feel, what

[Verse 6]
I feel?
Can you hear, what I hear?
Can you see what I see?
When ma feet hit the streets
What you know?
What you know?
Can you feel, what I feel?
Can you hear, what I hear?
Can you see what [D]I see?
[Em]When ma feet hit the streets
What you know?
What [D]you know?[Em]
