| Now, they take him and they teach him |
| And they groom him for life |
| And they set him on a path where he's bound to get ill |
| Then they bury him with stars |
| Sell his body like they do used cars |
| Now there's a woman on my block |
| She just sit there facin' the hill |
| She say who gonna take away his license to kill |
| VERSE 3 |
| Now, he's hell bent for destruction |
| He's afraid and confused |
| And his brain has been mismanaged with great skill |
| All he believes are his eyes |
| And his eyes they just tell him lies |
| But there's a woman on my block |
| Sitting there in a cold chill |
| She say who gonna take away his license to kill |

| VERSE 4 |
| Now he worships at an altar of a stagnant pool |
| And when he sees his reflection he's fulfilled |
| Oh, man is opposed to fair play |
| He wants it all and he wants it his way |
| Now, there's a woman on my block |
| She just sit there as the night grow still |
| She say who gonna take away his license to kill |
