Livin in the ghetto this is where I stay
To get by
To get by
Live or die the world is a ghetto
Lets take a journey to the other side
Where many people learn to live with their handicaps
While others die
Where muthaf**kas had no money spots
And if they did then they ass went insane
When all the money stops
Im from the ghetto so Im used to that
Look on your muthaf**kin map and find texas
And see where houston at
Its on the borderline of hard times
And its seldom that your hear niggas breakin and givin God time
Thats why your ass and pray for me
Because I know that even I got to die
And he got a day for me
And every morning I wake up Im kinda glad to be alive
Cause thousands of my homeboys died
And very few died of old age
In most cases the incident covered up the whole page
From amsterdam to amarillo
It aint no secret
The world is a ghetto
Five hundred niggas died in guerilla warfare
In a village in africa but didnt nobody care
They just called up the goddamn gravedigga
And said come get these muthaf**kin niggas
Just like they do in the 5th ward
In the south park and the bronx and the watts
You know they got crooked cops
Working for the system
Makin po muthaf**kas out of victims
Dont nobody give a f**k about the po
Its double jeopardy if your black or latino
They got muthaf**kin drugs in the slums
Got us killing one another over crumbs
Think Im lying well muthaf**ka I got proof
Name a section in your city where minorities group
And ima show you prostitutes dope and hard times
And a murder rate that never declines
And little babies sittin on the porch smellin smelly
Cryin cause they aint got no food in they bellies
They call my neighbourhood a jungle
And me an animal like they do the people in rawanda
Fools fleeing their countries to come here black
But see the same bullshit and head right back
They find out what others already know
The world is a ghetto
Whats up outta towner southern n***a downer
I wish you would bring your muthaf**kin ass around here
With that hip shit shit from your block
You f**k around and get shipped back home to ya momma in a pine box
Cause we dont play that shit in 5th ward
We got killas and hustlas and playas to so n***a disregard
What your seeing on them western movies
Cause yo I aint never rode a horse before
Ho think we slow smash the gas
And watch how fast Ill put these hands on yo b***h ass
Try to load them dice youll meet the gravedigga
Cause game recognize game scheisty ass n***a
See I done seen fools die for less
Than a goddamn cigarette butt for f**kin wit my set
So get that frown off your face busta
Cause you ghetto aint no harder than mine
Muthaf**ka
