Desperate in the D.C streets
Desperate for a better life
Hi-top shoes and hip-hop beats
Don´t hide the violens and strife
Just fourteen and selling crack
Fell his spirit slowly die
Sees a friend shot in the back
But no tear comes to his eye
Chorus 1:
Desperation
Is there hope for these
Desperation
Wondering what to do
Desperation
Drives me to my knees
Desperation
Hope fulfilled in You
Desperate in a D.C suite
Desperate for a better high
Dollars, lust and power compete
Then they´ll tell us all a lie
"Help us win the war on crime
Rid our nation of theis stain"
Hypocrite! Worst kind of slime!
The mayjor´s smoking crack cocaine
Chorus 2:
Desperation
Must things stay the same
Desperation
Wondering what to do
Desperation
Burning like a flame
Desperation
Only quenched in You
Rap:
In the ghettos, the barrios and efen the burbs
There´s a scen going down that really disturbs
My conscience, yeah it gnaws at my guts
It´s more thatn insane, it´s stone cold nuts
He´s only fourteen and he´s totin´ an uzi
His rationale is really a doozie
When the action is his, ya´ know he´s chilling
Competiton moves in, he starts killing
He´s a business man with a market niche
His trigger finger´s got a business itch
He´s upwardly mobile and jobs are rare
His aspiration just ain´t welfare
Wants a Lamborgini, maybe a Benz
Plenty of bills buy him plenty of friends
Wants cash to flash to stash to dash
If you´re pressing him, he´s gonna bash
You head in, steal you in your face
Calling in the guards, put you in your place
He´s got serious hotties, cold make you drop
Dead in your tracks, but it´s only a prop
He´s lunchin´ and hustlin´ to build his pride
But a hopeless heart he just can´t hide
I pray he´ll find my Lord´s salvation
It´s the only hope for his desperation
Desperation
Is there hope for these
Desperation
Wondering what to do
Desperation
Drives me to my knees
Desperation
Hope fulfilled in You
Desperation
Must things stay the same
Desperation
Wondering what to do
Desperation
Burning like a flame
Desperation
Only quenched in You
Desperation
