Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Verse 1
(Today in Los Angeles another youth
loses his life. Gunshot wound to
the head. Street violence
is at an all time high)

[Verse 2]
No [Em]jokin' I'm sleepin'
with my [E]eyes open
Wanted for a [Em]homicide ride the
gun's still smokin'
Didn't know what I was doin'
but did it anyway
Now the posse's on my trail
they say I'm gonna pay (Run!)

[Verse 3]
I had a gun it's mine and I packed [Em]it
Out with my crew the boys
caught some static
Me and this sucker punk [E]went at [Em]it
[E]Bang! Nine automatic

[Verse 4]
[E]Hunted [Em]Child
[E]I'm the Hunted [Em]Child
[E][Em]

[Verse 5]
(Sources say the assailant was 17- years
old and lives in South- Central
[E]Los [Em]Angeles)

[Verse 6]
Now I'm on a hideout tip 'cause they're after [E]me
LAPD says [Em]they're gonna
capture me
Was I crazy? I guess I had to be
'Cause once you kill

[Verse 7]
it's instant catastrophe
[E]You[Em]r whole life is ove[E]r
[Em](Through!)
Forget about your girl your
(Crew!)
Nowhere to run, so what [E]you gonna do?
Be glad it's me, homeboy, and not you

[Verse 8]
The [E]Hunted [Em]Child[E]
I'm the Hunted Child
[Em]Hunted [E]Child
I'm the Hunted [Em]Child

[Interlude 1]
[E]

[Verse 9]
[E]I'm only 17, I didn't mean to kill, man
But I was [Em]slangin' and bangin' for the thrill,
man
When they said (Kill!) I felt chill, man
But once I pulled the trigger,

[Verse 10]
boy, then things got ill, man
[Em]My homeb[E]oys dipped out the back fast
Left [Em]me alone in the echo
of the gun blast
Everybody saw my face,
I didn't [E]wear a mask
You want to know my name? Just ask

[Verse 11]
[E]The[Em][E]
Hunted [Em]Child
I'm the [E]Hunted [Em]Child
[E]Hunted Child
I'm the Hunted Child
[Em]

[Verse 12]
(The science of Capitalism [E]which
you teach to the youth on the streets
today [Em]with the 'ends justifying the means' mentality
[E]ain't[Em][E][Em]
[E]
[Em]happenin')

[Verse 13]
I'm sweatin' heavy 'cause my face is on TV
[Em]
Everybody in this whole
world's after me
[E]Since I was young I never
had a damned thing
[Em]At Christmas time I'd hate

[Verse 14]
to hear the bells ring
[Em]'Cause in the ghetto
Santa ain't got a dime
[E]Your mother's standin'
in the [Em]wel fare line
[E]The way the [Em]youth survive is [E]crime
My life is over so I might

[Verse 15]
as well speak my mind
[E]I killed a b[Em]rother 'cause this sys
[E]tem had me geared to kill
'Cause what [Em]I call home you call hell
My ghetto quarters ain't no
[E]better than a [Em]jail cell
But there's a message in this story
that I'm tryna tell
We're just brothers on the [E]streets killin' [Em]brothers

[Verse 16]
This system has us geared
to kill one another
Sellin' dope to poison each other
The [E]plan of The Man, word to the mother

[Verse 17]
[Em]But I'm a sucker 'cause I
[E]fell into their plan
187, I killed a brother [Em]man
My life on Earth was hell,
you un[E]derstand?
But when I die I'm goin' to hell [Em]again
[E]I'm the Hunted Child

[Verse 18]
[Em]I'm [E]the Hunt[Em]ed
[E]Child I'm the Hunted Child The
