We used to fight and fuss, we used to yell and cuss We used to cock and bust now look at us We done turned to ashes and dust to dust I shoulda turned the cause and returned the love I shoulda passed the bud to all the bloods And leave them slugs with them pigs in the mud Who the fuck turned 2Pac into a thug?

Livin' on free food, tickets Water in the milk from the hole in the roof Where the rain came through What can you do? hmm Tears from little sister cryin' 'Cause she doesn't have a dress without a patch For the party to go Oh, but you know she'll get by. She is livin' in the love of the common people Smiles from the heart of the family man Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to Mama's gonna love her just as much as she can, she can. It's a good thing you don't have the bus fare It would fall through the hole in your pocket And you'd lose it in the snow on the ground A walking to town to find a job. Trying to keep your hands warm But the hole in your shoe let the snow come through And it chills to the bone, boy You'd better go home where it's warm. Where you can live in the love of the common people Smiles from the heart of the family man Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to Mama's gonna love her just as much as she can, she can. Livin' on dreams ain't easy But the closer the knit the tighter the fit And the chills stay away You take 'em in stride family pride. You know that faith is your foundation And with a whole lotta love and a warm conversation And plenty of prayer Making you strong where you belong. Where you can live in the love of the common people Smiles from the heart of the family man Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to Mama's gonna love her just as much as she can, she can...
