TAJ JACKSON - Lies lyrics

rate me

Whatchu wanna be when you grow up?

What else you gonna be when all you see is thugs?

Went from selling candy to selling drugs

You ain't too young but there's so much

Pops on the? made you wake up

Teacher says it's been a while since you showed up

Don't even know why you're acting so tough

And it's cause they never show you real love

You keep on hearing lies

The streets are telling you a lie

Why should a nother baby have to cry?

Cause your daddy's locked down

And mom ain't around

Don't listen to theses lies

There's a better way to survive

Although it may take some time

Cause looks is decieving

Look what we're teaching, all they are is lies

Oh lies, Ooh lies

I think you should be careful what you wish for

All these kids are dying in this hood war

You wanna be rich, tired of being poor

Not knowing you're worth so much more

And cause you got a six selling hot chick?

Hood hustling is the only way to get it

It's too the point that's all you believe in

And another one lost to the system

You keep on hearing lies

The streets are telling you a lie

Why should a nother baby have to cry?

Cause your daddy's locked down

And mom ain't around

Don't listen to theses lies

There's a better way to survive

Although it may take some time

Cause looks is decieving

Look what we're teaching, all they are is lies

There is so much more to life

You don't want to be like them

You got to learn how to just walk by them

Because none of them are real friend

I know it's going to be hard

But it's time for a new start

You're going to be alright

Don't listen to their lies

Ooh lies, Ooh lies, lies, lies, lies

That's all they are just lies

I'm trying to tell you the truth

Don't listen to them

You keep on hearing lies

The streets are telling you a lie

Why should a nother baby have to cry?

Cause your daddy's locked down

And mom ain't around

Don't listen to theses lies

There's a better way to survive

Although it may take some time

Cause looks is decieving

Look what we're teaching, all they are is lies

Don't listen to them anymore

All they are is lies
