There's no pool in my backyard
My backyard, my backyard
Now, there's no pool in my backyard
So why the hell am I drownin'?
Each morning, I drop to my knees and pray
I don't know why but hell every day
Caught in the midst of unspeakable evil
Can't seem to reach my people
So I walk in the grass that used to be green
Now it's all bloodstained
Now it's all bloodstained
Now who put the guns in my backyard?
My backyard, my backyard
Who put the guns in my backyard?
You'd like to see us suffer
Now there's no pool in my backyard
My backyard, my backyard
There's no pool in my backyard
So why the hell am I drownin'?
Stepped to the corner store 'round nine
A man and a gangster bitch was tryin'
Beggin' for a quarter on my corner
I said, "You must wonder how the one that started
Let you have it, I sketch and draw it
You be braggin' in hell 'bout you never saw it"
God forgive them for what they do
Because they didn't know I was a killer too
Now who put death in my backyard?
My backyard, my backyard
Who put death in my backyard?
You'd like to see us suffer, huh?
Now there's no pool in my backyard
My backyard, my backyard
Now there's no pool in my backyard
So why the fuck am I drownin'?
What's a matter with your world?
Too much suffer for the people

How long can this go on?
Another child is born
How long can we suffer?

Another child is born
Coke don't grow in the U.S.A
But it keeps comin' my way
Mom and poppin' babies is a goddamn shame
Babies bein' born with half a brain
Drugs grew out their little bitty systems
Look so bad, you don't even wanna kiss 'em
Who put the crack in my backyard?
My backyard, my backyard
Who put the crack in my backyard?
You'd like to see us suffer
Boy said to his brother in tears
"Why do you hate black people so much?"
Brother said, "Because sometimes, baby
Black people just ain't good enough"
He went to school and he made some friends
But they wrote, "Dad wouldn't let 'em in"
He met a beautiful girl with a beautiful face
But mom and dad didn't like her race
As he got older, his heart got colder
A lot of hatred built up in him
Mom and dad were nothin' but bigots
And he grew up to be just like them
Now who put the bigot in my backyard?
My backyard, my backyard
Now who put the bigot in my backyard?
You'd like to see us suffer, huh?
Now ain't no pool in my backyard
My backyard, my backyard
Ain't no pool in my backyard
So why the fuck am I drownin'?
Sweat
Sweat blood, sweat blood
Do you sweat, sweat
Sweat blood, sweat blood
Do you sweat, sweat
Sweat blood, sweat blood

You dirty coppers, get a grip
You don't need no hollow-point tips
The bullets you're usin' are killin' just fine
Whoever's in charge done lost their goddamn mind
Who made you God? Who made you God?
Killin' all the people in my backyard
Half you fools are on the take
How much money did you really make?
Now who put the cops in my backyard?
My backyard, my backyard
Who put the cops in my backyard?
You'd like to see us suffer
Now there's no pool in my backyard
My backyard, my backyard
Ain't no pool in my backyard
So why the hell am I drownin'?
A rapist got caught out there himself
Raped a good girl who had bad health
When the sentence came down after the trial
They gave him nine months and the boy just smiled
When time came around for his physical
Doc said "You're ill and there is no pill"
He said "You best chill 'cause you got AIDS
Guess you must've caught it when you last got laid"
Now who put AIDS in his backyard?
His backyard, his backyard
Now who put AIDS in his backyard?
It's time for the motherfucker to suffer
Ain't no pool in my backyard
My backyard, my backyard
Ain't no pool in my backyard
So why the hell am I drownin'?
Sweat
Sweat blood, sweat blood
Do you sweat, sweat
Sweat blood, sweat blood
Do you sweat, sweat
Sweat blood, sweat blood
Do you sweat, sweat
Sweat blood, sweat blood
Do you sweat
What's a matter with your world?
