1 Desperation LyricsDesperate in the D.C streets
Desperate for a better life
Hitop shoes and hiphop beats
Dont hide the violens and strife
Just fourteen and selling crack
Fell his spirit slowly die
Sees a friend shot in the back
But no tear comes to his eye
Chorus 1:
Desperation
Is there hope for these
Desperation
Wondering what to do
Desperation
Drives me to my knees
Desperation
Hope fulfilled in You
Desperate in a D.C suite
Desperate for a better high
Dollars, lust and power compete
Then theyll tell us all a lie
"Help us win the war on crime
Rid our nation of theis stain"
Hypocrite Worst kind of slime
The mayjors smoking crack cocaine

Desperation
Must things stay the same
Desperation
Wondering what to do
Desperation
Burning like a flame
Desperation
Only quenched in You
Rap:
In the ghettos, the barrios and efen the burbs
Theres a scen going down that really disturbs
My conscience, yeah it gnaws at my guts
Its more thatn insane, its stone cold nuts
Hes only fourteen and hes totin an uzi
His rationale is really a doozie
When the action is his, ya know hes chilling
Competiton moves in, he starts killing
Hes a business man with a market niche
His trigger fingers got a business itch
Hes upwardly mobile and jobs are rare
His aspiration just ain't welfare
Wants a Lamborgini, maybe a Benz
Plenty of bills buy him plenty of friends
Wants cash to flash to stash to dash
If youre pressing him, hes gonna bash
You head in, steal you in your face
Calling in the guards, put you in your place
Hes got serious hotties, cold make you drop
Dead in your tracks, but its only a prop
Hes lunchin and hustlin to build his pride
But a hopeless heart he just can't hide
I pray hell find my Lords salvation
Its the only hope for his desperation
Desperation
Is there hope for these
Desperation
Wondering what to do
Desperation
Drives me to my knees
Desperation
Hope fulfilled in You
Desperation
Must things stay the same
Desperation
Wondering what to do
Desperation
Burning like a flame
Desperation
Only quenched in You
Desperation
