LYRICS:

the streets are a hard place for a kid to grow
learning more than what he is supposed to know
from weapons that kill like guns and knives
to drugs that can screw up his life

what's a little boy supposed to do

mike would like to have a gun
he thinks he'll be cool by owning one
but what he doesn't realize 
is he could take somebody's life

mike's dad tries to tell him what's right and what's wrong
but he doesn't care and just wants to belong
it was only a matter of time
before little mike joined a life of crime

he doesn't know what he's doing 

mike would like to have a gun
he thinks he'll be cool by owning one
but what he doesn't realize 
is he could take somebody's life

now guess what! mike has been shot
oh my god, who would’ve thought
and now he’s dead, but no one shows
up at his funeral, 'cuz no one knows
