'The sky is falling'

We screamed and cried

but you sat and waited

as our brothers died
The shards of cloud
Pierced through skin and flesh

Calls for help rang out

But you could care less

No, you could care less

It's time to lose the rose-colored glasses

Take a look as shit flies by and passes

Lend your ear to the shouts of the masses

Instead of sitting 'round with your hands up your asses

See the kid selling crack in the alley

Instead of dreaming of plastic SoCali

See the poor mother of four

Working her hands down to the core

But no, you close your mind

As you buy out another mom-n-pop store

'The sky is falling'

We screamed and cried

but you sat and waited

as as our brothers died

The shards of cloud

Pierced through skin and flesh

Calls for help rang out

But you could care less

No, you could care less

Your son wants to be gangsta like 50 cent on tv
while real thugs spill blood on South Central streets
Dream of packing Glocks and Uzis

While the mother cries at the limp body she sees

The police carted him off in a gray body bag

While you read your top 40 hip hop mag

Do you know how it feels to bury your kid?

Watch as the undertaker nails down the lid?

No, you're too busy counting your fifty and quid

Conversing by candlelight over fried squid

'The sky is falling'

We screamed and cried

but you sat and waited

as our lil' brothers died

The shards of cloud

Pierced through skin and flesh

Calls for help rang out

But you could care less

No, you could care less

Your daughter goes to school dressed like a

streetwalker

But the real night girls get killed by their stalkers

Your little princess gives out BJ's for fun

While a fourteen-year old f&*cks for fives and ones

Just to survive on what little she makes

Playin' a dangerous game with sky-high stakes

Does your kid give head just to survive?

Does she risk slow death from bullets and knives

No, she's at Johnny's house staining sheets

She's giving lapdances while her nice boyfriend beats

'The sky is falling'

We screamed and cried

but you sat and waited

as as our brothers died

The shards of cloud

Pierced through skin and flesh

Calls for help rang out

But you could care less

No, you could care less

Just giving you a taste of what the Real World is like

It's not on MTV, won't get it on satellite

So next time you take someone's home away

Think of what they go through every day

Beware of when the sky really falls

And don't run to me when it crushes your walls

"The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

The sky is falling! The sky is
