When we were young the future was so bright
The old neighborhood was so alive
And every kid on the whole damn street
Was gonna make it big and not be beat

Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn
How can one little street
Swallow so many lives

Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams

Jamie had a chance, well she really did
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids
Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot

Jay committed suicide
Brandon OD'd and died
What the hell is going on
The cruelest dream, reality

And he may not have style
But everything he lacks
Well he makes up in denial

So don't debate, a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
He's gonna play the field, and keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate
At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world needs wannabe's
So do that brand new thing

He needs some cool tunes
Not just any will suffice
But they didn't have Ice Cube
So he bought Vanilla Ice
Now cruising in his Pinto, he sees homies as he pass
But if he looks twice
They're gonna kick his lily ass

Now he's getting a tattoo
He's gettin' ink done
He asked for a '13', but they drew a '31'
Friends say he's trying too hard
And he's not quite hip
But in his own mind
He's the dopest trip

So don't debate, a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
He's gonna play the field, and keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate
At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world needs wannabe's
The world loves wannabe's
So let's get some more wannabe's
And do that brand new thing

Who has the fortune
Don't pull the same
She had to get up
And make a change
She had a kid now
But much too young
Her baby daddy's
Out having fun

He said "Now I'm on a roll
With all the girls I know"
His baby mama
She ain't so slow
He said "Now I'm on a roll
With all the girls I know"
I know you wanna Hit That
I know you wanna Hit That, Hit That
All of the world
Is getting way past me
Consequences are a lost party
That's the way
That's the way things go

What was a family
Is now a shell
We're raising kids now
Who raise themselves
Sex is a weapon
It's like a drug
It gets around into that
Ground that he just dug

She said "Now I'm on a run
I'm chasing guys for fun"
Her baby daddy
Hey, he's only one
She said "Now I'm on a run
I'm chasing guys for fun"
I know you wanna Hit That
I know you wanna Hit That, Hit That
Hey everybody's getting way past me
Consequences are a lost party
That's the way
That's the way things go

Well, you'd better wise up
Broken up, really such a shame
Better wind up
Take a chance, everything's a game
And the good stuff
Broken up, nothing's gonna change

Well,
The more he's trying
The more he's buying

He said "Now I'm on a roll
With all the girls I know"
His baby mama
Don't need know
He said "Now I'm on a roll
With all the girls I know"
I know you wanna Hit That
I know you wanna Hit That, Hit That
All of the world
Is getting way past me
Consequences are a lost party
That's the way
That's the way things go
