Little kids in the 'hood ain't got no money or no

clothes/ they look at videos and see a Bentley or a Rolls/

cats rock so much ice even got the children froze/ glued to

the tube with the screen touchin' they nose/ see a throw

back jersey, them new shoes and they want those/ they

see how you dance they in the mirror strikin' a pose/ little

girls see how women dance and start takin' off clothes/

about 5 years old and this is all that she knows/ this is all

that he knows because that's all that he sees/ a new rap

artist is 'bout all that he wanna be/ then you get cats like

me that come to him talkin' bout Jesus/ they so brain

washed they look at me and be like please/ you try to

convince them Jesus would want to see them saved/ but

they rather ball, rather hit the mall and get paid/ about 16

now and homie is ready to drive/ he is ready for sex but he

ain't ready for God/ check him out

Videos, T.V. is the city of dreams/ and everything on

the screen ain't always what it seems/ you might get

fooled if you don't know the truth from lies/ that's why we

bringin' you the truth of God (2x)

Call it all fun and games and sometimes it is/ but

other times got they mind in a quiz/ little homie skippin'

classes/ checked his ash tray for ashes/ plus he threw

away his glasses/ now he think he need a chain and some

Timberland boots/ if she don't look like the girls on the

video she ain't cute/ now he think he need a gun and he

stay in the suburbs/ play any rap song and he know all the

words/ all of the dances, all of the shakes/ ain't never seen

a scale and he's talkin' bout movin' weight/ now he let his

pants sag and he's tryin' to get high/ ain't never had a fight

talkin' about "thug til I die"/ ain't never felt held the heat,

ain't never felt the heat/ now he's tryin' to go to jail so he

can say he from the streets/ now this is what he sees and

they call it entertainment/ mentally he's in chains some of

the blame goes to the videos

Videos don't show how it is gettin' beat/ or feelin'

so dumb in school that you feel you gotta cheat/ Videos

don't show mamma jugglin' money/ nor do they hear you

when you say mamma I'm hungry/ all they do is tease you

with a Benz that's so plush/ but mom ain't got no ends her

and her friends on the bus/ all they do is show you all cats

on a yacht/ while daddy's in the streets after 3 smokin'

rocks/ they don't show you baby mammas baby daddies

bout to bang/ they sell you this world that exists outside of

pain/ all them cars lookin' good all them cribs lookin' good/

but unfortunately that ain't how it is in the 'hood/ real

things goin' down, real guns bustin' rounds/ real tears

bein' shed, real cats and the feds/ real people that need

Jesus to save them from they sins/ to show them discipline

then to die and rise again/ they show you lies on videos
