IF YOU LOOK AROUND

IF YOU LOOK AROUND YOU, THINGS ARE GETTING WORSE,
TOO MANY KIDS BODIES, IN THE BACK OF A HEARSE.

IS THE WORLD COMING TO AN END? OR IS IT A CURSE?
TOO MANY PEOPLE THINK THEY'LL GET TO HEAVEN, BY REMEMBERING A BIBLE VERSE.

IF YOU LOOK AROUND, WE SEE IT ALL TOO OFTEN,
YOUNG TEENAGERS BEING PLACED, IN A MAN MADE COFFIN.

IF YOU LOOK AROUND YOU, ITS NOT THE SAME OLD SAME,
EVERYBODY TRYING TO HURRY UP, AND BUY LIFE INSURANCE CLAIMS.

BECAUSE WHEN YOU WALK OUT YOUR HOUSE, BULLETS DON'T HAVE A NAME,
YOUR LIFE CAN BE CLAIMED, IN THIS LIFE THAT'S A CROOKED GAME.

IF YOU LOOK AROUND YOU, ITS HARD TO SAY THAT YOU TRUST,
ANYBODY CLOSE TO YOU, WHEN THEY'RE ALWAYS DOING SHIT THAT'S UNJUST.

IF YOU LOOK AROUND YOU, YOU PROBABLY HEARD THAT PRISONS ARE PACKED,
WITH THE BUNKS THAT'S TRIPLE STACKED, EVERYBODY WANT TO RAILROAD BLACKS,
EVERYBODY FROM THE ROBBER, MURDERER, AND A PYROMANIAC.

IF YOU LOOK AROUND YOU, EVERYBODY WANT TO TALK ABOUT SWAG.
EVERYBODY WANNA WEAR SKINNY JEANS, TOTING GUNS IN THEIR BAGS.

IF YOU LOOK AROUND YOU, NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE BEING SMART
PRISON POPULATION BEING BUILT FASTER, THAT THEY CAN BUILD A WAL MART.

IF YOU LOOK AROUND YOU, EVERYBODY YOU HAND AROUND IS NOT A HOMIE,
WITH ATTITUDE AND PERSONALITIES, COLDER THAN A GROCERY STORE BOLOGNA.

IF YOU LOOK AROUND YOU, EVEN THE 10 YEAR OLDS ARE CARRYING STRAPS,
SELLING DRUGS IN THE GOOD, SETTING THEMSELVES UP FOR A TRAP.

IF YOU LOOK AROUND YOU, PEOPLE ARE CONNIVING,
THEY'LL TAKE YOUR LIFE IN AN INSTANT, WITHOUT EVEN TRYING

FRIENDS ARE NOT FRIENDS ANYMORE, MOST OF THEM ARE FRIENDS BY NAME.
OTHER THAN THAT A FRIEND! WOULD DO DIRT, AND THEN SHIFT THE BLAME.

FAMILY MEMBERS ARE LIKE THIEVES, THEY ARE QUICK TO PLOT,
EVERYBODY GETTING SCANDALOUS, AND NEVER GIVING IT A SECOND THOUGHT.

------ CHANGING FOR THE WORSE, AND IT SEEMS WE'RE ALL HELLBOUND,
----------THERE'S NOTHING GOOD, IF YOU JUST LOOK AROUND.
