Little kids in the hood ain't got no money or no clothes

They look at videos and see a Bentley or a Rolls

Cats rock so much ice even got the children froze

Glued to the tube with the screen touchin' they nose

See a throw back jersey, them new shoes and they want those

They see how you dance they in the mirror strikin' a pose

Little girls see how women dance and start takin' off clothes

About 5 years old and this is all that she knows

This is all that he knows because that's all that he sees

A new rap artist is 'bout all that he wanna be

Then you get cats like me that come to him talkin' bout Jesus

They so brain washed they look at me and be like please

You try to convince them Jesus would want to see them saved

But they rather ball, rather hit the mall and get paid

About 16 now and homie is ready to drive

He is ready for sex but he ain't ready for God

Check him out

Videos, T.V. is the city of dreams

And everything on the screen ain't always what it seems

You might get fooled if you don't know the truth from lies

That's why we bringin' you the truth of God

Call it all fun and games and sometimes it is

But other times got they mind in a quiz

Little homie skippin' classes

Checked his ash tray for ashes

Plus he threw away his glasses

Now he think he need a chain and some Timberland boots

If she don't look like the girls on the video she ain't cute

Now he think he need a gun and he stay in the suburbs

Play any rap song and he know all the words

All of the dances, all of the shakes

Ain't never seen a scale and he's talkin' bout movin' weight

Now he let his pants sag and he's tryin' to get high

Ain't never had a fight talkin' about "thug til I die"

Ain't never felt held the heat, ain't never felt the heat

Now he's tryin' to go to jail so he can say he from the streets

Now this is what he sees and they call it entertainment

Mentally he's in chains some of the blame goes to the videos

Videos don't show how it is gettin' beat

Or feelin' so dumb in school that you feel you gotta cheat

Videos don't show mamma jugglin' money

Nor do they hear you when you say mamma I'm hungry

All they do is tease you with a Benz that's so plush

But mom ain't got no ends her and her friends on the bus

All they do is show you all cats on a yacht

While daddy's in the streets after 3 smokin' rocks

They don't show you baby mammas baby daddies bout to bang

They sell you this world that exists outside of pain

All them cars lookin' good all them cribs lookin' good

But unfortunately that ain't how it is in the hood

Real things goin' down, real guns bustin' rounds

Real tears bein' shed, real cats and the feds

Real people that need Jesus to save them from they sins

To show them discipline then to die and rise again

They show you lies on videos
