Ghetto Rich |
Shit, we tryna get it for real |
Oh, Rich Boy, you niggas better get focused |
Get money, muthafucka, get money, muthafucka |
Let me take ya through my hood where I was born and raised |
Where niggas tote semi-automatics, bustin' them K’s |
Heavy guns and dope boys harassed by the police |
Still gettin' pulled over and asked by the police |
'Bama wasn’t made for a nigga to win |
See the color of ya skin get 'cha put in the pen |
It’s real life, over dice, Dwayne dead and gone |
Sendin' niggas to the pen or the funeral home |
I be feelin' like the Lord’ll never answer me back |
So I’m holdin' on my gat just in case they attack |
Bullet holes in ya house’ll make it hard to sleep |
Ya see the fiends on the street want the hard for cheap |
'Lotta niggas doin' life from under covers and fake friends |
It’s real how them penitentiary bars’ll break men |
Niggas doin' life from under covers and fake friends |
It’s real how them penitentiary bars’ll break men |
It’s where you live, it’s where you play |
It’s where you learn your favorite slang |
Your world is ghetto |
It’s where I live, it’s where I’m from |
It’s where you had to tote your gun |
Your world is ghetto |
Can’t explain how I feel growin' up in the gutter |
Told my mama that I love her put nobody above her |
Doin' crimes, a hard time for food on the plate |
Know a couple of niggas ain’t never comin' out the gate |
Movin' weight the only thing them street niggas know |
Servin' thangs at school, they never teach 'em, don’t show |
But a 44'll get 'cha money fast from robbin' |
Do or die situation when ya tired, be stavin' |
Government’d never send me a dime for school |
So I went and started workin' like my nine my tool |
I’m a leader for the South, pa, open ya ears |
Young kids where I’m from wear permanent tears |
It’s where you live, it’s where you play |
It’s where you learn your favorite slang |
Your world is ghetto |
It’s where I live, it’s where I’m from |
It’s where you had to tote your gun |
Your world is ghetto |
I’m a product of the block, watch the fiends come back |
Got a couple white packs 'cause they fiend for that |
Early five in the mornin', pigs showin' they badge |
Real niggas in the street still showin' they rags |
Speed bumps in the road start slowin' me down |
See them fake niggas actin' like they know me now |
Got a chance to advance, so I’m makin' my move |
Couple o' people still thinkin' they got somethin' to prove |
Pay the card for the South, yeah the hood my home |
Told my mama I’ma leave the dope game alone |
On my knees every night conversatin' wit God |
Niggas dyin' everyday 'cause they wanna be hard |
Still totin' my piece 'cause it ain’t nothin' like the movies |
I’m wearin' my vest in case they hit me wit the Uzi |
Even if I take a trip around the world and back |
I’m representin' for the hoods where they feel me at |
It’s where you live, it’s where you play |
It’s where you learn your favorite slang |
Your world is ghetto |
It’s where I live, it’s where I’m from |
It’s where you had to tote your gun |
Your world is ghetto, your world, ghetto |
Throw 'em up if you know what the hood like |
Throw 'em up if you lookin' for that good life |
Throw 'em up if ya ghetto, shit |
Your world, ghetto |
