Chorus:

You ain't that tough ya

Choose the right friends

You ain't that tough now

Don't make your life end

You walk around the town like you a big man

But you never know now that there's always a bigger man

You sling the M 16 and flash the M 1

But you don't know what you're doing never learned to handle one

But true! All you friend thinking you a gangster

While your mother tried to warn you from certain danger

So when you in your room you playing with your Mac-10

Fully loaded automatic, just you and a friend

You posing aw dey mirror like you a gangster clown

But the Mac-10 go off and you friend go down

Uh oh! What you gonna do now?

Uh oh! They gonna blame you somehow

Uh oh! Tell me what you gonna say

Uh oh! Look, they cutting you away

Your father telling you "Now son just go to school

Don't go acting like a fool and don't go acting too cool"

You get to the school and meet up with the right bunch

Just a group of kids with no names taking people lunch

You join the click because you wanna meet some girls

And you want a little prestige in you little school world

One day you're walking with your crew along the road

And a member of your crew pull out a gun and unload

He shoot a parked car and all you run far

You and your friends laughing like you a superstar

And you get home and you thinking it was fresh

And a cop meet you there with a warrant for your arrest

Them ask, "Who shot the gut why you walking down the street

Didn't you see the little boy there in the back seat sleep?

Now the boy dead we want to know from you

Who shot the car up, are we gonna take you?"

Uh oh! Now what you gonna do now?

Uh oh! Boy, them gonna blame you

Uh oh! Now tell me what you gonna say

Uh oh! Look, they cutting you away

Chorus

White kids! You living in the whitest part of town

You are a white kid but you know you hang around

So you and your friends thinking that you are all of that

When you see a youth walk by and yes the youth is black

One kid say "Hey, what you doing on the block

We don't want no niggers here unless he is a cop"

So the kid pull out a big baseball bat

And them him slap with the bat becasue the kid is black

Now then the kid fell down but still alive

So he reach in his pants and pull out a four-five

Pop! One friend drop and everyone run

Out of all the white kids now you the only one

You start cry, cause now you gonna die

And it's all because what your friends did to this guy

Uh oh! What you gonna do now?

Uh oh! He gonna blame you somehow

Uh oh! What you think you gonna say?

Uh oh! Now them cutting you away

Check!

Repeat Chorus 2x
