Do You Care
Do you care that I grew up in the projects
Do you care that my teachers told me making it in professional sports is far fetch
Do you care that 21 years of my life my friends and family that were murder is over 27
Do you care that when things are bad I just daydream about dying and being in Heaven
Do you care that I am a father with no kids
Do you care that I am the youngest in my family but the only male so I have to act big
Do you care that I wish I was rich so my friends that got killed kids can choose a different track
Do you care that in the hood our first bit of money is the trap (hustling)
Do you care that my God brother lost his mom at a young age
Do you care that he is mentally unstable still and no one can stop him from going on a rampage
Do you care that the drug dealers feed the kids
Do you care that the drug dealers get kids to take their charges so they don't have to do their own bids (jail time)
Do you care that the cops are living wreckless
Do you care that the cops tried to leave Leon Ford breathless
Do you care that Leon Ford still faces assualt charges on a cop
Do you that the only crime Leon committed was at a stop sign and he failed to make a complete stop
Do you care that Leon Ford is one of my best friends
Do you care that it's his word versus the cops at the end
Do you care for what I care for
Probably not that's why I don't open up to anybody I'm just being careful
