I was stabbed by Satan
On the day that I was born
I was promised loving
But instead I was torn
La, la, la, la, la, la
My heart bled fear
La, la, la, la, la, la
My eyes shed tears
A poor black ghetto child
He can't shoot and he can't go run a mile
There's no school and the kids go running wild
The police and the courts want to run 'em out
He's so poor and the po poor hate him more
He ain't seen his daddy since back in '84
But, oh well so it be now he's in jail
His mother's stressing just to get him out on bail
Now sing it out
I was stabbed by Satan
On the day that I was born
I was promised loving
But instead I was torn
La, la, la, la, la, la
My heart bled fear
La, la, la, la, la, la
My eyes shed tears
And so this story goes on, there's no glory
And the worry takes a toll on, his own body
But his buddies want to roll on
So bloody when the car comes to a stop
The police with the big glocks want 'em out
They say freeze but there's only one coming out
There's two dead with a legal gun to his head
It's stupid, he should've played ball instead
Now sing it out
I was stabbed by Satan
On the day that I was born
I was promised loving
But instead I was torn
La, la, la, la, la, la
My heart bled fear
La, la, la, la, la, la
My eyes shed tears
So one day when it's all said and done
My life will be the bluest rap song ever sung
My verses will be curses to the rich
And all sorts of authority will cease to exist
My daughters will be free of war and my honey of fist
And in my honor fists will raise in the air
In the silence of revolution my face will appear
Like the vision of a prisoner with his last bed
This song is a poem and the whole poem is a tear
Drop to me, no ear
I was stabbed by Satan
On the day that I was born
I was promised loving
But instead I was torn
La, la, la, la, la, la
My heart bled fear
La, la, la, la, la, la
My eyes shed tears
I was stabbed by Satan
On the day that I was born
I was promised loving
But instead I was torn
La, la, la, la, la, la
My heart bled fear
La, la, la, la, la, la
My eyes shed tears
So why do kids cry when they're born?
Ever ask yourself that?
I mean, there's no scientifical reason explaining that
Well, it is said that Satan stabs a child at birth
As an introduction to pain
You know, welcome to the world, right?
