Be in a Gang....

You want to be in a gang,
And shoot up everything with a bang,
You say they'll have your back,
But education is what you lack,
Education is the key to life,
And not getting stab by a knife
Education will lead you to great height,
Education will help you excel
Not lead you to jail
You wont find yourself doing 10 in any county pen
Or being charge with first degree murder
In a court of order and as your family wails
Your getting life without bail
Be in a gang and stay there for keeps
You'll find yourself underground 6 feet deep
So instead of being to rest
Get an education and be the best
