been around the block

idea and thoughts from been around the world by: lisa stansfield

 

i've been around the block

hay yay yay

all i see are crackheads 

basing

destroying their lives

which i don't know why 

its so painful

to our babies

its unbearable

our babies

 

it's really insane

drugs continue to kill lives

oh why oh why oooohhhhhhhh

you sucking on that crackpipe

eyes roling back like the undertaker

brains about to explode

no coming back

there's too much lying

wasting all my time

here you are dying, dying, dying

 

i been around the block 

hay yay yay

all i see are crackheads

basing

destroying lives

which i don't know why

it's so painful

to our babies

it's unbearable

our babies

 

been around the block

oh boy

way too many times

all i see are drug dealers

they are selling poison 

been aroung the block

hay yay yay

all i see are crackheads

basing

destroying lives

which i don't know why

it's so painful

to our babies

it's unbearable

our babies
