Cro-Mags - Down But Not Out Lyrics
The youth of today, run wild in the streetsThey all try to win, in the face of defeatThey still, they kill, they're going straight to hellThey don't hear and they don't see that they're not freeWhen I walk down these city streetsI see the victims and the casualtiesDo they stand, a chance todayIn a world that's thrown their awayThey race to the graveDon't want to healDon't want to be savedAbandoned buildings that should be homesAbandoned children left to roamBroken families broken dreamsIn the night I hear their screamsCan't make your future or kill your pastWith a spike in your arm or a shotgun blastTill you have the strength to look withinYou'll be fighting a battle you'll never winMortality suffered society saidThat money is God and true faith is deadI see it in their eyes tis life they cannot copeThe system tells them lies, tries to stick us into giving up hopeWe're down, we're down, but we're not outThere's still time to find what life's aboutIs there a way of telling the troubled youthThat what they see on TV is not always the truthWe're down, we're down, but we're not outThere's till time to find what life's about
