System Ain’t For Us (Explicit) - Akon/OG Boo Dirty

Composed by：OG Boo Dirty/Akon

Akon：

Mama hold her head and cry

'Cause her son had been shot down in the streets and died

Oh why Oh why is what she cry she cry

The biggest problems in the city

Is them daddies ain't there

And if it ain't about the money

Then nobody don't care

And then spoke to an OG

He tried to mentor me he said

Boy these streets will suck the love right out your heart

So don't believe that bulls**t

You know godd**n well this system ain't for us

Oh no no no

And you know godd**n well the president don't love us

Oh no no no

Sinking down to the ground on the ghettos and we can't get no lower

So I'm askin' God how do we dig ourselves out

If when we can't afford the shovel

If there's a problem in the hood everybody come together just to solve that problem

But that's the problem in the hood nobody comes together unless you involve violence

'Cause we was taught to be the tough guys and was told to just remain silent

But then you got them n***as telling on the next guy

Instead of tellin' 'em what it takes to solve it

Is there a problem that I don't know about

Oh no no no

Is there a problem that I haven't heard about

Oh no no no

'Cause I speak of kids robbing each other pimps prostitutes and drug dealers

We won't get much further unless we start helping each other

But them non believers will thank

You know godd**n well this system ain't for us

Oh no no no

And you know godd**n well the president don't love us

Oh no no no

We're sinking down to the ground on the ghettos and we can't get no lower

So I'm askin' God how do we dig ourselves out

If when we can't afford the shovel

OG Boo Dirty：

We were 16 brothers with no father around

I was 16 14 robberies now

Two went to school and got a degree

One went to jail the other ones' stuck in the streets

D**n so nobody really made it out

Sell a brick just to build a house

Momma working two jobs while babysitting hard

Ain't even seen my dad when we was in a drill

Like crazy can't dig since we don't have a shovel

And now the hoes around digging me with no shovel

No Rihanna in the rain somebody grab my umbrella yeah

Akon：

Mama hold her head and cry

'Cause her son had been shot down by police and died

Oh why Oh why is what she cry she cry

Mama hold her head and cry

'Cause her son had been shot down by police and died
