GHETTO

They got us living in the same hood

On the same block

This ghetto life got us running from the same cops

Dealt the same cards hustle till the game stops

Get knocked and locked up on the same (cell) block

GHETTO

Where the rats will eat your food

Roaches will still your crumbs

That don’t compare to what your friends will do

You think they cool with you – they really trying to finish you

Can’t be successful surrounded – people that envy you

GHETTO

Where the days seem hotter

And nights seem colder

And life seems harder

Ain’t had shit to eat but white bread and water

Light bill pass due so now you got to grind harder in the

GHETTO

And not to mention you a new father

Plus your baby momma stressing having postpartum

And the landlord say she got her own daughter

And that eviction notice just added more problems

GHETTO

And minimum wage don’t pay enough

So now you working two jobs cause your bills keep adding up

You turn to your family but they don’t give a fuck

Soon as you run out of luck that’s when the devil rolls up in the

GHETTO

That’s when that metal goes up

And your faith goes down and reality blows up

Then Karma comes around

Now you feeling more stuck

So now you in the church praying trying to get your hopes up in the

GHETTO

I’m trying to lift my Folks up

Show my Peoples how to move out the hood with no trucks

First step we got to take is get to know us

Cause in the ghetto we ain’t shit but food for these vultures
