The mother held her little girl in her arms to keep her from harm.
On the streets of their neighborhood was gang fights,.
She didn't want her to see what goes on, when at night off goes the lights.
So many times people wouldn't make it out of this town alive.
You must work hard to feed your little ones and it's a challenging strive.
Gun fights and brawls is what you see.
Your life here is a ticking time bomb, don't you agree.
Take your family and flee this town.
Before the dangers come around.
It's not a sight for your children to see.
One by one they will attack you and me.
