Low Profile - That`s Y They Do It слова песни
[ VERSE 1: W.C. ]I`ma take this opportunity to explainWhy would a kid in `89 wanna sling cocaineKilos of cracks in stacks, and spend 20s and 10sAnd at the age of 11 own a brand-new BenzBut I don`t blame it on the kids, man, the system is wackThere`s more money on the streets, gee, than flippin over Big MacsBut if you`re still confused, just groove to the musicCause I`ma show you why they do it(That`s why) (they) (do it)[ VERSE 2: W.C. ]Call up the press, the newscast, cause I`m about to serveA dope message segment, yeah, the need to be heardWhy would a young`un comin up wanna sling in the streetsInstead of plannin for an educated college degree?Here`s an answer: who`s a role model in the ghettoWhile these young`uns live in the slums like bums?They ain`t got a role model, so they look up to the brothers on DaytonsWhile daddy drive a station wagonSlackin, lackin, held in the back, andMama`s broke as hell, so they start sellin crack, andClockin more g`s than the Jackson 5See, to them, slingin drugs is a way to surviveGo get a job, minimum wage, no, don`t even botherSlavin like a sucker for 3.85 an hour?Nope, I ain`t with it, y`all can take that back, jackAnd stuff it down your mouth like a garbage can compact`Just say no` - man, these children are laughin slingin dopeYo, the slogan`s a jokePeople keep speakin `pon drugs, but they never coincideWhen they never slung dope in their lifeHow can they speak upon a subject at which they lack knowledge?You say you`re tryin to stop drugs? It`s all a bunch of garbageBut if you`re still confused, yo, just groove to the musicCause I`ma show you why they do it(That`s why) (they) (do it)[ VERSE 3: W.C. ]Now if you`re still havin trouble tryin to find a reason kids sling dopeAnd sport a fat gold ropeLet`s take a look at this materialistic system, broSpecifically designed to keep minorites brokeYou know the news got me laughinEvery day they comin up with somethin newCurfews and task force crewsBut who`s to blame, because they never ever seem to workIt just seem that more people get jerked and hurtHow can they account for the problem which they started?Hey yo, you must be retardedBut if you`re still confused, just groove to the musicAnd Doub`ll show you why they do it(That`s why) (they) (do it)[ VERSE 4: W.C. ]No more lollygaggin wastin time, let`s get to the factsYou ask what could spark a kid into slingin that crack?Then think about it, to a kid comin up in this surroundingThe cash and caine, he`s more than forced to slingHis homies used to do it, and his brothers do it tooSo he gotta do it, or else he ain`t coolSuckers try to knock him, but they never suceedSo much money his pockets, parents down to his kneesAlmost blamin on the parents, the first thing we doIn `89, y`all, a kid`s gonna do what he wanna doBut what do you expect when a brother lack role models?All he know is women, cash and Eight bottlesMost people make it to the top, man they never come backSpeak to the kids, say, "Yo, this is wack"Too busy havin fun in the next man`s gameThey think they made it, but they got a shackle still on they brainPeople try to play me like a booty-neck suckerThe system sling, but see, they do it undercoverYou want the truth well, here, I just threw itPeace - that`s why they do it(That`s why) (they) (do it)
