Ice-T - The Hunted Child Lyrics
[Verse 1]
(Today in Los Angeles another youth loses his life. Gunshot wound to
the head. Street violence is at an all-time high)
Wanted for a homicide ride, the gun's still smokin'
Didn't know what I was doin' but did it anyway
Now the posse's on my trail, they say I'm gonna pay (Run!)
I had a gun, it's mine and I packed it
Out with my crew, the boys caught some static
Me and this sucker punk went at it
Bang! Nine automatic
Hunted Child
I'm the Hunted Child
[Verse 2]
(Sources say the assailant was 17-years old and lives in South-Central
Los Angeles)
Now I'm on a hideout tip cos they're after me
LAPD says they're gonna capture me
Was I crazy? I guess I had to be
Cos once you kill it's instant catastrophe
Your whole life is over (Through!)
Forget about your girl your (Crew!)
Nowhere to run, so what you gonna do?
Be glad it's me, homeboy, and not you
The Hunted Child
I'm the Hunted Child
Hunted Child
I'm the Hunted Child
[Verse 3]
I'm only 17, I didn't mean to kill, man
But I was slangin' and bangin' for the thrill, man
When they said (Kill!) I felt chill, man
But once I pulled the trigger, boy, then things got ill, man
My homeboys dipped out the back fast
Left me alone in the echo of the gun blast
Everybody saw my face, I didn't wear a mask
You wanna know my name? Just ask
The Hunted Child
I'm the Hunted Child
Hunted Child
I'm the Hunted Child
(The science of Capitalism which you teach to the youth on the streets
today with the 'ends justifying the means' mentality ain't happenin')
[Verse 4]
I'm sweatin' heavy cos my face is on TV
Everybody in this whole world's after me
Since I was young I never had a damned thing
At Christmas time I'd hate to hear the bells ring
Cos in the ghetto Santa ain't got a dime
Your mother's standin' in the welfare line
The way the youth survive is crime
My life is over so I might as well speak my mind
I killed a brother cos this system had me geared to kill
Cos what I call home you call hell
My ghetto quarters ain't no better than a jail cell
But there's a message in this story that I'm tryna tell
We're just brothers on the streets killin' brothers
This system has us geared to kill one another
Sellin' dope to poison each other
The plan of The Man, word to the mother
But I'm a sucker cos I fell into their plan
187, I killed a brother man
My life on Earth was hell, you understand?
But when I die I'm goin' to hell again
I'm the Hunted Child I'm the Hunted Child I'm the Hunted Child The
Hunted Child
I'm the Hunted Child
I'm the Hunted Child

This jam is almost like a life experience i went thru as a teenager...i took a boxcutter to a associate of mine when i was young slashed his throat 14 times im suprised he lived was hunted by his family n friends...all for a fukkinkg once of weed at a party...i grew up hard n quik now....im a o.g.
Incredibly dark and sad. I lived in LA during the 80's gang wars. Mondays at school regularly revealed students wearing tribute shirts for friends and family killed over the weekend. So fucking sad.
DL Beaven Thank you.

Does anyone know what track one of this is called? It's the one with an announcement that the country is in a state of emergency and that martial law had been declared. That is never not relevant. Wait I forgot we're in the future where I can just look it up
"Shut Up, Be Happy." The speaker is Jello Biafra.
@geekrockrats Jello Biafra of the punk band The Dead Kennedy's
Damn...This is the best track from this album. I'll have to bust out my old cassette and listen to the whole thing. Love me some old school rap. Late 80's to the mid 90's rules in rap! What happened to rap, anyways????

Best Ice-T album in my opinion he is dope but he delivers meaning at the same time...realiest O.G. ever!
"You wanna know my name... just ask"
Classic.
you cannot beat ice for the old school flow..
Killer Tune! Minta.
those two guys with the guns in the ears are going to shoot each other. I know it's just art.
BANG. 9.Automatic... that shit is as fresh as when i heard it over 20 years ago...
Who really thinks the douch bag artists of today have this kind of talent? Every word clear, sharp, and easily understood. Serious subject and message written and recited to a mix that even the whitest white boy can bounce his head to. I've said it before but it is soooo true. Todays fuck stick rappers have to make up stupid words or phrases and usually cant even string together a coherent sentence. OLD SKOOL FTMFW !!!!!!!!!!!!
RAW MURDA RAP --- A BANGA iiii
beat is still phat! Still got the original casstte!
dopest thing
you can tell where nwa got their inspiration from for 100 miles and runnin
Ice-T is dropping some real knowledge!
hell yes iam on my toes so what ya gonna do...

the hardest tightest lyrics gangsta rap ever had . thanx ice
Awesome, i tried to find this many times and all i could find was the acapella
Thanks mate, 21 years and its still dope.
