The House Lyrics - O.g. Original Gangster - 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!
