Ghetto Life |
Uhhh, shhhh |
Don’t say nothin' just listen (For all y’all ghetto people out there) |
Through like all the bloodshed |
And all the tears and all the homies I done lost (Calliope Projects) |
Ain’t nothing like the ghetto |
If I had to do it all again |
I probably wouldn’t change a thing |
I live my life homie, but not for greed |
Picture young sistes and brothers planting their ghetto seeds |
Ain’t nothing promised in this ghetto but we lost cause we black |
Picture 5 kids in the project in a one room shack |
I had big dreams of making it big |
I caught nightmares of fools splittin' my wig |
I couldn’t change for the guppies that tried to hate |
Picture me a ghetto child with a house by the lake |
Ain’t nothing promised but we not to blame |
Sinning, uhh to make some change |
I wish the society feel my pain |
Empty me underneath we all the same |
High construction on penatentiary bars |
They main focus is blacks with fancy cars |
And they beat us on high interest loans |
Repossess our property cause we don’t think to own |
This ghetto live got us hustlin' and scufflin' |
I said penatentiary chances keep us thuggin' and muggin' |
Now I was known for walking on the wrong side of the tracks |
Slanging, smoking and drinking yack, reminiscing and thinking back |
A lot of facts have been changed we take the innocent and guilty |
I played the cards that they dealed me |
Went through changes that dealed me |
Into a better man but most often I’m misunderstood |
Call me a gangsta 'cause I relay consciousness from the hood |
But alot of good comes from what you call negativity |
We working with no leverage or incentive g |
'Cause their nothing you ever give to me |
On television or them history books |
Got black kids thinking they only out on this earth to be crooks |
See all these mystery looks, that’s on the face of the boss man |
When he can see a young black brother no longer lost man |
They try to break your spirit, before you figure out the game |
By the time you do you lost your fame, reputation and your name |
But baby we can do it take your time do it right |
You don’t wanna be a superstar overnight |
Trying to live that ghetto life |
I live my life for my son so he can have something |
Blessed just to see a new day so I’m trying to grab something |
I been on top of the world and at the bottom too |
When you up you got lots of friends and when you down it’s few |
The way we grew up was wrong, I’m the first to admit |
I know God and just drop me here to be going through this |
I lost D-Ray last year and it’s just not the same |
Just at the time in his life when he was trying to change |
He told me, Pimp I need help, I want up out the game |
I made a promise, I lied cause the next night he died |
I guess our childhood is over 'cause man ain’t nothing funny |
And everythign that I love revolve around sex and money |
I wanna have some more kids but in the 90's that’s crazy |
The woman’s polluted so it ain’t safe to make babies |
And it’s a shame cause Uncle Sam ain’t got no job to pay me |
But pay the mightiest 40 g’s for every year they enslave me |
It’s crazy |
