Life In The Ghetto

That’s life in the ghetto
Everybody rob for a feat
Fiends keep their eye on the streets
Every day another homicide in the streets
That’s life in the ghetto
You learn to survive in the streets
Or get ate alive in the streets
If your poor, it’s mandatory overtime in the streets
That’s life in the ghetto
They say life out here is what a nigga make it
I guess everybody story little different ain’t it?
If you ask about my own‚ I never hesitated
Had a vision with a bag‚ real picture-painted
Grew up on the block with a cold dream
At the spot‚ gettin' drops by the dope fiends
Was the youngest little vato that your seen
Mama we’ll make it out, at night we’re back to the old scheme
Quickly I’ll take it back to the old me, I’ll never settle
You survive in my streets‚ make it in any ghetto
Die in this war, no twenty-one guns, no gold medal
Choppa for the fake love‚ shells drop like rose petals
No one can ever rewind this life back
Though we paid dues and unfortunately couldn’t price that
It ain’t got a price tag, every day I spend on it
Never knew the cost, just knew I had my hands on it
That’s life in the ghetto
Everybody rob for a feat
Fiends keep their eye on the streets
Every day another homicide in the streets
That’s life in the ghetto
You learn to survive in the streets
Or get ate alive in the streets
If your poor, it’s mandatory overtime in the streets
That’s life in the ghetto
Bullet shells and white chalk
Shhh, if you see it don’t talk
Turn a blind eye and a deaf ear
Certain things are forbidden, listen here
Poverty and chaos
Dudes that come with their best shooters like the playoffs
Get their mans, fuck how much it costs
If they want him outta here, they can get him offed
Beastie
Obesestity
Asthma inhaler
Heart failure
They say that meat builds up mucous in our intestines
Might start eatin' plant-based, get rid of intergestion
The Bible speaks of jealousy
A lot of times the jealousy be comin' from your family
Bruh, you ain’t even got to have a paper penny
They could have hella bread and still have envy
Hood rich one day (Hood rich one day)
The next day you broke (The next day you broke)
You could have a fist fight with your friend (Fist fight with your friend)
And the next day, y’all folks (Uhhh)
That’s life in the ghetto
Everybody rob for a feat
Fiends keep their eye on the streets
Every day another homicide in the street
That’s life in the ghetto
You learn to survive in the streets
Or get ate alive in the streets
If your poor, it’s mandatory overtime in the streets
That’s life in the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto
