I remember playin my guitar in the projects
Playin in the PJ's
A product of the environment
Pour some liquor for those who passed away
I told my mom I'ma get up out of da hood
Mama
My dad taught me the American dream baby
You can be anything that you wanna be
If I did it you all could do it
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Mama I can't shoot them anymore
Cease fire
I feel a dark cloud coming over me
So poor so dark
It feels like I'm knockin on the heaven's door
To biggie smalls and tupac
Knock knock knockin on the heaven's door
Hip hop
To freaky ty and big heavy
Lost boy
Knock knock knockin on the heaven's door

Take these guns from the street lord

I feel a dark cloud coming over me
Over me

It feels like I'm knockin on the heaven's door
So sing along street children
We're knock knock knockin on the heaven's door
And to my daddy that passed away

Knock knock knockin on the heaven's door
To my people doin time

Locked up

Crypts and bloods latin peace
Please just chill wit the violence
Though even though I know that
The bad boy move in silence

Said even though I know that
The gangsters move in silence

And to my soldiers in the Pentagon
We're knock knock knockin on the heaven's door
