Have you been watchin' the bad boyz
Hangin' around the schoolyard?
Has anyone tried to figure out
How it is they got so
Bitter and hard
Does anyone have the faintest idea
How we gonna explain life to them
So far
They can't hang out on the street
They can't hang out with the boyz
Unless they're packin' heat
And ready to make some noise
Like the bad boyz
Have you been watchin' the hatred
Growing every day
Have you been watchin' the races
On each other's case
And all suspicious?
Somebody's always
In your face
It's almost like bein' raped
You're so defenceless
Can't hang out on the street
Can't hang out with the boyz
Unless you're packin' heat
Ready to make some noise
Like the bad boyz
Hope you get there in time
Lose 'em all down the line
Way down yonder on the plantation
Today it's called the 'hood and everyone's restless
They feel deserted and abandoned
They do the best they can
But life is ruthless
If ya never did care about your neighbor
'cause their frightening behavior
Get through to ya
Don't ya see they can't hang out on the street
They can't hang out with the boyz
Unless they're packin' heat
Ready to make some noise
They're the bad boyz
Don't ya see they can't hang out on the street
They can't hang out with the boyz
Unless they're packin' heat
Ready to make some noise
They're the bad boyz
