KRS-One Lyrics
"Uh Oh"

You ain't that tough ya

Choose the right friends

You ain't that tough now

Don't make your life end

Come with it

You walk around the town like you a big man

But you never know now that there's always a bigger man

You sling the M-16 and flash the M-1

But you don't know what you're doing, never learned to handle one

But true, all you friend thinking you a gangster

While your mother tried to warn you from certain danger

So when you in your room, you're playing with your Mac-10

Fully loaded automatic, just you and a friend

You're posing aw dey mirror like you a gangster clown

But the Mac-10 go off and your friend go down

Uh oh, what you gonna do now?

Uh oh, they gonna blame you somehow

Uh oh, tell me what you gonna say

Uh oh, look, them cutting you away

Come with it

Your father telling you "Now son just go to school

Don't go acting like no fool and don't go acting too cool"

You get to the school, meet up with the right bunch

Just a group of kids with no names taking people lunch

You join the click because you wanna meet some girls

And you want a little prestige in your little school world

One day you're walking with your crew along the road

And a member of your crew pull out a gun and unload

Him shoot a parked car and all you run far

You and your friends laughing like you a superstar

You get home and you thinking it was fresh

And a cop meet you there with a warrant for your arrest

Them ask, "Who shot the gun while you walking down the street?

Didn't you see the little boy there in the back seat sleep?

Now the boy dead, we want to know from you

Who shot the car up, are we gonna take you?"

Uh oh, now what you gonna do now?

Uh oh, boy, them gonna blame you

Uh oh, now tell me what you gonna say

Uh oh, look, them cutting you away

Come with it

You ain't that tough ya

Choose the right friends

You ain't that tough ya

Don't make your life end

Come with it

White kids, you living in the whitest part of town

You are a white kid but you know, you hang around

So you and your friends thinking that you are all that

When you see a youth walk by and yes the youth is black

One kid say "Hey, what you doing on the block

We don't want no niggers here unless he is a cop"

So the kid pull out a big baseball bat

And them slap him with the bat just because the kid was black

Now the kid fell down but still alive

So he reach in his pants and pulled out a four-five

Pop, one friend drop and everyone run

Out of all the white kids now you the only one

You start cry 'cause now you gonna die

And it's all because what your friends did to this guy

Uh oh, what you gonna do now?

Uh oh, he gonna blame you somehow

Uh oh, what you think you gonna say?

Uh oh, now them cutting you away, check

Come with it

You ain't that tough now

Choose the right friends

You ain't that tough now

Don't make your life end

Come with it

You ain't that tough now

Choose the right friends

You ain't that tough now

Don't make your life end
