Do You Know What It's Like? Lyrics - Singles - E-town Concrete

Lessen programs promoting contraception 

If it means protection in the next election 

Religious groups will keep sending those checks in 

So we can start wars and keep sending those jets in 

Exactly just what kinda shit did we step in? 

Exactly just what kinda message we sending? 

It don't matter if you condemn condoms 

It ain't your problem 

It's the type of thing that only happens in Harlem 

Happens in Compton, happens in Newark 

It happens in Houston, I think we got a problem, Houston 

Invoke God to camouflage your true sins 

Poke and prod, private life intrusions 

You say it's for our safety when you spy our movements 

Huh well, I don't buy it doofus 

I ain't stupid, this is my two cents 

You don't know what it's like to pray 

You don't know what it's like 

You don't know what it's like to pray 

For God to turn the night to day 

You don't know what it's like to pray 

You don't know what it's like 

You don't know what it's like to pray 

For God to turn the night to day 

Let's spend some real money on real life improvements 

Instead of moon men and booing same sex unions 

We need to take a look at why society is losing 

One room shack, a single mother with two kids 

They share the same bed and the walls are too thin 

So they hear every fight 

Fourth grade kids who cant read or write 

And all they ever hear is mommy beat at night 

They cant sleep at night, they cant catch no Z's 

So what the fuck they care about the ABC's 

It's crazy, kids in grades 1,2,3 

Trying to decide whether to be a B or C 

Their stomachs are empty, theres not enough MD's 

But we can spend millions chasing WMD's 

Or we can just build a pipeline in the Mid-East 

And when the bill comes, send it to me 

You don't know what it's like to pray 

You don't know what it's like 

You don't know what it's like to pray 

For God to turn the night to day 

You don't know what it's like to pray 

You don't know what it's like 

You don't know what it's like to pray 

For God to turn the night to day
