Lyrics
Daddy?s in lock down, little man of the house
Lost boys running wild, destiny?s child
Get the money and run, little pee wee got a gun
Jewelry juke joints and jail, momma post the bail
It aint right, It aint fair. It aint right, It aint fair
Baby had a baby, pretty little girl
Tell her it?s a hard knock life, welcome to the world.
Baby forfeit a future, to raise another queen.
Doctor teacher lawyer, baby rather strip for green
It aint right, It aint fair, It aint right It aint fair
Stopped by the P.D. Insurance registration please
Everything checks out, why you beating on me
5 o?clock news, officer down
Acquitted by a jury, guilty on the street.
It aint right, It aint fair (ad-lib out)
