Johnny got suckered,
by his hometown crew.
He thought being a gangsta,
sounded kind of cool.
He got caught in the middle,
of a killer plan.
There was a drive-by shooting,
Johnny was the triggerman.
Criminals,
creeping around the hood,
criminals,
they�re up to no good.
Criminals,
spend their whole life, committing crime,
criminals,
why the hell, aren�t they doing time.
Susie got hooked on crack,
through the efforts of a pimp named Dwight.
Now she spending her teenage years,
as a hooker on the streets at night.
Threats and intimidation,
helped keep little Susie in line.
Trading sex, for cold hard cash,
was her boyfriend�s bottom line.
Criminals,
creeping around the hood,
criminals,
they�re up to no good.
Criminals,
spend their whole life, committing crime,
criminals,
why the hell, aren�t they doing time.
Dealers selling drugs to your children,
right in front of their schools.
Child molesters on the prowl,
breaking every moral rule.
Robbery, rape, and murder,
Dominate the FrontPage news
Our justice system, needs an overhaul,
its time we stopped this senseless abuse.
Criminals, creeping around the hood,
criminals, they�re up to no good.
Criminals, spend their whole life, committing crime,
criminals, why the hell, aren�t they doing time.
Criminals,
its time to make them pay.
Lock them up,
Throw the key away.
Criminals,
causing undue strife.
A lethal injection,
a life for a life.
