  Intro/Chorus:

  A child is born with no state of mind

  Blind to the ways of mankind

  God is smiling on you and He's frowning too

  Because only God knows what you'll go through, uhh

  A child is born with no state of mind

  Blind to the ways of mankind

  God is smiling but He's frowning too

  Verse 1:

  He grew up in an instant, the fourth of seven children

  The oldest male on the block was half and half

  brown, stones to neck bones, crack joints to tones

  Where young girls spread out and drop seeds like they're farmers

  They're old as their momma's, the same age as their aunt

  and the neighbourhood drunk men and that lady with the dreaded disease

  is like hard to please

  And the house of ill fate with the metal gate

  kepp the thin people cracked out like *?puncheon?* monks

  The ole man with the fruit stand is on his man

  His hand, his ole heart just can't stand

  the CPR as they load him in the back of a car

  I'm on a world tour to help free the poor

  From the local drug cats to kids in front of the store

  Number runners, gangbangers and the big money spenders

  Reality check rings as we descend from the king

  Chorus:

  Now a child is born with no state of mind

  Blind to the ways of mankind

  God is smiling on you and He's frowning too

  Because only God knows what you'll go through

  A child is born with no state of mind

  Blind to the ways of mankind

  God is smiling but He's frowning too

  Because only God knows....

  Verse 2:

  The home's filled with horror in my horoscope

  Tomorrow I could be broke, this ain't a joke

  I'm twenty dollars from bein dead ass

  I'm bout to spend half on a bag to get my head blast

  Last week I lost to justice cycle, born

  and spawned a riff with my wiz

  now she dead with my kids

  I live by the subway, niggas push drugs in my hallway

  All day everyday tryin to get the pay

  And I be tryin ta find a better way

  You see, when you're poor then you're forced to adore to raw play

  Survival be a forte, lookin forward to robble up your food stamps

  Projects' like boot camps

  wit generals cookin chemical warfare

  Ki's to a mayor, I ain't seen ya ass in four years

  The law bears down on anybody that's brown

  My complexion puts me in the direction of the section 8

  Rejection seems to be my fate

  As a kid, don't wanna ship my momma, always said I had to wait

  And it's been drama up to date

  Enough to traumatise people's lives and the eyes they try to fixtate

  Chorus:

  A child is born with no state of mind

  Blind to the ways of mankind

  God is smiling on you but He's frowning too

  Because only God knows what you'll go through

  A child is born with no state of mind

  Blind to the ways of mankind

  God is smiling but He's frowning too

  Because...

  Verse 3:

  Born into existance with some resistance

  A struggle comin out my ol' earth's womb

  It was little past noon, three months before June

  I had a feelin I was headed toward the land of doom

  I came out and the doctor got ready to smack

  I grabbed the 'bilical cord and tried to pull myself back

  but it was too late for that cos in fact

  I'll slit the sack so I gotta maintain where I'm at

  Now I'm here breathin this diff'rent kind of air

  Poverty bound, headed for the welfare

  Drug-infested, rat-infested, people drownin in sorrow at neighbourhood bars

  Roaches bigger than my hot wheel cars

  Dope fiends with swollen arms lookin like rotten wood

  turn to crack monsters up and down the neighbourhood

  Lit the store, business soar as the crowd pour

  all thru the corridors, echo-in off the project walls

  That's why the God say

  Chorus:

  A child is born with no state of mind

  Blind to the ways of mankind

  God is smiling on you but He's frowning too

  Because only God knows what you'll go through

  *repeat*
