The House - Ice T

You know the houe down the street 
Where the kids are 
and every day 
They seem to have a new scar 
Something strange is going on 
And everybody knows 
Doors always shut 
Windows always closed 
The little girl had a burn 
The boy was black and blue 
They said it came from play 
You know that shit ain't true 
The boy's arm's broke 
Girl's scared to speak 
Their parents drink all day 
Couple of dead beats 
Some days they go to school 
And other days they might 
It's hard to stay awake 
After you cry all night 
You see 'em every daay 
Tear tracks on their cheeks 
But they will never tell 
It goes on weeks and weeks 
(But what can they do? 
They're only children man!) 

You ain't no fuckin' kid 
Act like you give a damn! 
Won't someone save these kids 
Do something, call a cop 

The other night I heard gun shots!
