Oh, we got the kids out here,
on the corners,
tryin' to sell that thing.
You know what I'm about.
We gotta get control of that thing,
you know what I'm sayin'?
Everywhere I go,
I see people actin' the same
They out there lookin' for their thing
Look here
Some call it rock, other folk call it game
Just look how they're dy
in' from that fang
Oh, that fang you put in your veins
Well, mess up your brains
Drive you insane
Lord, you'll be the blame
Wait a minute
You got the kids on the corner workin'
It's a shame
They're tryin' to make a dollar
Sellin' their thing
Yeah
They think they're grown
and drop out of school
Well, you know and I know,
that ain't cool
That ain't cool, y 'all
The flame will make you still
Sometime you wanna kill
Lord, you'll end up in jail
The judge won't say no, babe
Lord, it's that thing
Everywhere I go, I say that thing
Well, L .A., Dallas
It's that thing, well
Chicago, San Francisco
Well, it's that thing
That thing will make you steal
Sometime you'll wanna kill
Lord, you'll end up in jail
The judge won't send no bail,
God, it's that thing
Everywhere I go I see that thing
Well, New York, Detroit, San Francisco,
L .A., Milwaukee
Oh, my love, I see that thing
Get in your brain, it's that thing
Make you wanna steal, it's that thing
Make you wanna kill,
it's that thing
Everywhere I go I see that thing
Y 'all know what I'm talking about
Yeah, you know what I'm talking about
We got to get that thing off
the streets, you know
It's messing up our neighborhood,
you know
Killing, robbing, stealing
Everywhere I go
I see that thing, Lord
Lord, it's that thing
Make you wanna do wrong,
that thing
Everywhere I go, it's that thing, oh lord
That thing is over here,
that thing is over there
That thing is all around,
that thing is everywhere
It's that thing, lord
Everywhere I go,
I see that thing, oh lord
Yeah, you know what
I'm talkin' about,
ridin' around out there
cruisin' with your fast spins on...
