A Problem’s a Problem

[Verse 1]

She stepped on the scene at age seventeen

Lied from the jump, told guys "I'm 21"

Only aspiration was to rise from the slum

Village where they pillage, live and die by the gun

Time moves slow though she lives so fast

Quote, unquote relationships that just won't last

Make the girl an offer, shorty just won't pass

Wasn't looking for love, shorty just want cash

Mama never told her 'bout the birds and the bees

So she heard from the streets, as she learns what she sees

Age fourteen, shorty burned from disease

Body now a hustle, shorty's earning a fee

The next Jenna Jameson she's yearning to be

While Christ sits and cries "she should be yearning for me"

But she was never told, and so she never changed

Found dead in the street with a needle in her vain, ashamed

Oh I tried to avoid but there's ways to learn

A problem is a problem anyway you turn

I tired to let go but remain concerned

A problem isn't ...

He's a legitmate business man

Looking forward to his emanate pention plan

Big houses, a couple of Benz's and

Big diamonds, shining all on his wrists and hands

Beautiful wife and kid

His coworkers jealous of the beautiful life that he lived

Until, in stepped in the recession

The downward spiral his life had been swept in

Never cared much about the God we all seek

Said he anti-religion cause he prayed on Wall Street

But once that all ceased and his wife left him

Then the haunting thoughts of ending his life crept in

Sitting in his office with a bottle of jack

Was staring at a family portrait when he finally snapped

Was at the end of his rope, so he made him a noose

And then he prayed that his pain would fade away as he shoots
