A Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Waste Lyrics

Gangs usually roll as a savage pack

Once sworn in, there's no turnin
back

Initiation, manhoods are tested

Do crime, you'll fail by
becoming arrested

Get beat down the line, cautiously steppin

Always
watchin your back with your hand on your weapon

You blink for a minute and
get brutally beaten

Every time you diss the colors it will keep on
repeatin

When you say you knew somebody that was a gang member

You
can't say you know him, you can only remember

You have to live life all
nervous and worried

But joinin a gang means you wanna be buried

It's either that or jail cause there's no other place

And a mind is a
terrible thing to waste



Just a walk on the block, they tell you it
costs

Willingly pay - or be forced

Once your color is set you gotta
be stern

A bad influence for the young that are eager to learn

The
rules of a gang is fightin and killin

Did you ever stop to think that was
blood you were spillin?

Duckin from the cops most the time

Because
you live life devoted to crime

Gangs are mainly based on colors and
races

Not everywhere, just in particular places

Hang on the corner
or on the stoop

Fightin people lookin just like a terrorist group

Gangs give a rank at society level

Wear a tatoo skull with the mark of
the devil

You have to live life all nervous and worried

But joinin a
gang means you wanna be buried

It's either that or jail cause there's no
other place

And a mind is a terrible thing to waste



No
turnin back [repeated]



Had many bad dreams, nights stayin awake

Joinin a gang was the fatal mistake

Just to fill your head with
knowledge till your mind goes blank

And rumble with boys and dispose of
the shank

GANG can be spelled with ca
