I remember playin my guitar in the projects
Playin in the PJ´s
A product of the environment
Pour some liquor for those who passed away
I told my mom I´ma get up out of da hood
Mama
My dad taught me the American dream, baby
You can be anything that you wanna be
If I did it y´all could do it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Mama, take these guns away from here
Mama, I can´t shoot them anymore
Cease fire
I feel a dark cloud coming over
So poor, so dark
It feels like I´m knockin on the heaven´s door

To Biggie Smalls and Tupac
Knock, knock, knockin on the heaven´s door
Hip-Hop
To Freaky Tah and Big Heavy
Lost boy
Knock, knock, knockin on the heaven´s door
Yeah
And to the Princess Aaliyah
We´re knock, knock, knockin on the heaven´s door
To my brother Big Pun
Terror Squad
We´re knock, knock, knockin on the heaven´s door
Oh Lord, Oh Lord

Would someone take these guns away from here
Take these guns from the street, Lord
I can´t shoot my brothers anymore
I seen a thug cry
I feel a dark cloud coming over me
Over me
It feels like
It feels like I´m knockin on the heaven´s door
So sing along street children

We´re knock, knock, knockin on the heaven´s door
And to my daddy that passed away
Rest in peace
Knock, knock, knockin on the heaven´s door
To the God, Fred Jordan, we´re
And put the Fugees on
Knock, knock, knockin on the heaven´s door
To my people doin time
We´re
Locked up
Knock, knock, knockin on the heaven´s door

Crypts and Bloods, Latin peace
Please just chill wit the violence
Though even though I know that the bad boy move in silence
I´m asking y´all please chill wit the violence
Said even though I know that the gangsters move in silence
Whoa
We´re knock, knock, knockin on the heaven´s door
To my people in the Twin Tower
We´re knock, knock, knockin on the heaven´s door
And to my soldiers in the Pentagon
We´re knock, knock, knockin on the heaven´s door
New York
