Today in Los Angeles another youth loses his lifeGunshot wound to the headStreet violence is at an all-time highNo jokin', I'm sleepin' with my eyes openWanted for a homicide ride, the gun's still smokin'Didn't know what I was doin' but did it anywayNow the posse's on my trail, they say I'm gonna pay(Run)I had a gun, it's mine and I packed itOut with my crew, the boys caught some staticMe and this sucker punk went at itBang, Nine automaticHunted childI'm the hunted childSources say the assailant was 17-years oldAnd lives in South-Central Los AngelesNow I'm on a hideout tip 'cos they're after meLAPD says they're gonna capture meWas I crazy? I guess I had to be'Cos once you kill it's instant catastropheYour whole life is over(Through)Forget about your girl your(Crew)Nowhere to run, so what you gonna do?Be glad it's me, homeboy and not youThe hunted childI'm the hunted childHunted childI'm the hunted childI'm only 17, I didn't mean to kill, manBut I was slangin' and bangin' for the thrill, manWhen they said, I felt chill, man(Kill)But once I pulled the trigger, boy, then things got ill, manMy homeboys dipped out the back fastLeft me alone in the echo of the gun blastEverybody saw my face, I didn't wear a maskYou wanna know my name? Just askThe hunted childI'm the hunted childHunted childI'm the hunted childThe science of Capitalism which you teachTo the youth on the streets todayWith the 'ends justifying the means' mentality ain't happenin'I'm sweatin' heavy 'cos my face is on TVEverybody in this whole world's after meSince I was young I never had a damned thingAt Christmas time I'd hate to hear the bells ring'Cos in the ghetto, Santa ain't got a dimeYour mother's standin' in the welfare lineThe way the youth survive is crimeMy life is over so I might as well speak my mindI killed a brother 'cos this system had me geared to kill'Cos what I call home, you call hellMy ghetto quarters ain't no better than a jail cellBut there's a message in this story that I'm tryna tellWe're just brothers on the streets killin' brothersThis system has us geared to kill one anotherSellin' dope to poison each otherThe plan of the man, word to the motherBut I'm a sucker cos I fell into their plan187, I killed a brother, manMy life on Earth was hell, you understand?But when I die I'm goin' to hell againI'm the hunted childI'm the hunted childI'm the hunted childThe hunted childI'm the hunted childI'm the hunted child
