How We Feel Lyrics - Hate It Or Love It - Chingy

Either they don't know, don't show 

Or don't care about what's going on in the hood 

Uh, uh, yeah, uh, yeah, yeah, this your boy 

Chingaling man need to talk to the world real quick 

Talk to 'em, man, you know we got a lot of problems 

Going on in the inner city, in the ghetto, in the hood 

They ain't hearin' you, ain't nobody touchin' on, democrats 

Republicans, all those folks, you know they don't care 

What's going on in the ghetto anyway 

Everyday I wake up with a regular mentality 

But I'm a target on the street and that's just reality 

Cats in the ghetto ain't never had a high salary 

Except makin' deals and selling blow in the alley 

See, the system was made for us to fail, look at the jails 

Overpopulated with Mexicans and young black males 

I ain't tellin' the tale so we choose heaven or hell 

Don't care about letters from school, we'd rather get street mail 

I been a witness to some murders snitchin'I do without it 

But then I wonder why the damn police don't do nothing about it 

Go to the unemployment office, hell, yeah, it's crowded 

Our hoods takin' wrong turns, now it's time to reroute it 

I know a lil' dude, 13, carry a burner dropped out of school 

Teacher said he wasn't a fast learner 

Sometimes I wonder, in 20 years I wonder where we gon' be 

When I say we, I mean my black community, ya digg 

They don't know how it feels to hurt so long 

'Cause they never walked in these shoes 

And they never had to cry these blues 

How many men turn their back on us so long 

Always say what they gon' do 

But they never seem to come through 

Pardon my French but I don't think we ready for a lady president 

It's evident that it's a mans world so that's irrelevant 

The system think we all niggas and we not intelligent 

But Martin Luther and Malcolm taught me before I'm heaven sent 

The girls havin' kids and they still some kids 

Poppin' them out one after another like that's what it is 

It's innocent cats doin' bizz, they just tryin' to life 

And the police don't even know if the crime they did 

It's got my brain in a twist, so I'm twistin' a leaf 

On my balcony smokin' and drinkin' trying to see some relief 

If I can change our neighborhoods I would, put that on me 

This world messed up and that Stevie Wonder can see 

So to my dogs locked down set ya mind free 

'Cause you and I don't even believe you can get your degree 

Sometimes I wonder in 20 years where we gon' be 

And when I say we I mean my black community, let's go 

They don't know how it feels to hurt so long 

'Cause they never walked in these shoes 

And they never had to cry these blues 

How many men turn their back on us so long 

Always say what they gon' do 

But they never seem to come through 

I twist the cap off the bottle, take a sip and see tomorrow 

Like pac, wash away the sorrow while police hit the block 

I be up all night, askin' God for the truth 

He told me thinking translated in my own words in the booth 

Try to reach the youth 'cause that's what matters today 

I'm ain't too religious but I get on my knees and pray 

Sometimes I wonder in 20 years where we gon' be 

I ain't gotta wonder no more, my people rollin' with me, yeah 

They don't know how it feels to hurt so long 

'Cause they never walked in these shoes 

And they never had to cry these blues 

How many men turn their back on us so long 

Always say what they gon' do 

But they never seem to come through 

Yeah, they'll never come through, wo, oh, oh 

They don't know about this thing.
