| I have come to the fork in the road
 | 
| Many have tried to proceed from here, but they body go cold
 | 
| Seeing souls flyin high from out the window in the Rove
 | 
| It’s a desert out here, California is a stove
 | 
| 360 degrees as the story is told
 | 
| Pull the truck over to the side of the road, pull the brake up
 | 
| Blow the horn before I get out, you niggas wake up
 | 
| Hip-Hop been soft since the Roc-A-Fella break up
 | 
| And I don’t do subliminals, I just pick Jay up
 | 
| And all you other niggas stay up (haha)
 | 
| I got a lot to live for, fuck you think I had a kid for?
 | 
| You gotta crawl before you walk
 | 
| That’s when you runnin' with the big dogs
 | 
| Better slow down homie
 | 
| Cuz when it go down homie
 | 
| I ain’t neva seen a one man army
 | 
| But I done seen a lot of niggas bite when them hollows take flight
 | 
| You wanna see a dead body, c’mon
 | 
| Walk with me
 | 
| Take one look inside my soul
 | 
| And all that you will see is the ghetto
 | 
| Ghetto (walk with me)
 | 
| Walk, walk with me (walk with me)
 | 
| Through the ghetto, through the ghetto, through the ghetto
 | 
| Take me up to the ?740? | 
| leave me understood
 | 
| Oh yeah nigga I’m back in the hood
 | 
| 40 ounce spillin' on the sidewalk, eatin' away at the white chalk
 | 
| Close to the project fence, far away from niggas that might talk
 | 
| Every city I roam is home, I make the right call
 | 
| 10 minutes later, Latin Kings, Disciples, Vice Lords
 | 
| Cuz niggas got me screwed up, like dippin' through the ninth ward
 | 
| I might as well get a Cutlass on 28s and clean the whitewalls
 | 
| That’s too much drivin', let me get out and walk a little
 | 
| Soak up game, listen to these Houston niggas talk a little
 | 
| Must I remind you of that Ghetto Boy track
 | 
| Your Mind is Playin Tricks on You, you’ll neva go plat
 | 
| Unless you can recite a whole Snoop Dogg track
 | 
| I mean Gin And Juice, Deep Cover, or somethin' like that
 | 
| Just cuz I’m from Compton don’t mean I don’t know Kool G Rap
 | 
| I’m on a Road to Riches mothafucka
 | 
| Walk with me
 | 
| Take one look inside my soul
 | 
| And all that you will see is the ghetto
 | 
| Ghetto (walk with me)
 | 
| Walk, walk with me
 | 
| Through the ghetto, through the ghetto, through the ghetto
 | 
| For me the first verse was just me talkin' out loud
 | 
| Chronic and Louis the XIIIth, let me talk to my crowd
 | 
| I’m cognac West, let me see what’s behind that vest
 | 
| Niggas is sleepin' on The Game, I put they mind at rest
 | 
| I be talkin' to niggas dirty, every line’s a mess
 | 
| Cuz im from killa Cali, home o' gang signs and techs
 | 
| I seen a lot of niggas get shot makin' that Compton pit stop
 | 
| Niggas like me put it in a song and call it Hip-Hop
 | 
| Don’t repeat what I say, just peep what I say
 | 
| Apply it to your life let me be the reason you pray
 | 
| I got that Farrakhan flow, yeah I’m speakin' to millions
 | 
| Slice right through the bean pod when I’m teachin' you children
 | 
| Niggas get to flushin' they drugs when I creep through the buildin'
 | 
| I will rain on you niggas till it leak through through your ceilin'
 | 
| Imma hold it down, lord willin'
 | 
| Remember the first time you heard Cube spit?
 | 
| I’m bringin' back that feelin'
 | 
| Walk with me
 | 
| Take one look inside my soul
 | 
| And all that you will see is the ghetto
 | 
| Ghetto (walk with me)
 | 
| Walk, walk with me
 | 
| Through the ghetto, through the ghetto, through the ghetto
 | 
| This is it
 | 
| As you ordered, 300
 | 
| All with born sons to carry on their name |
