Paroles
Stay with me please don't leave me baby

I love you please stay with me

Someone's coming please please

It seems like everywhere I go everybodys in a struggle

Oh the whole world is a ghetto

Oh the whole world is a ghetto

The ghetto the ghetto the ghetto

The the the the

It be jam-packed in front of the stoops in siberia

Same way they are in the middle of nigeria

Every part of the whole world there's an area

That if you're poor another day alive is a miracle

The blocks in watts got crooked cops that frame the innocent

No different from flint michigan

Living in the D checking in with the pimps and them

It's similar to O-Town in the Southern Peninsula

Pretty city skyscrapers will fool you look through to

Inner cities the rich won't move to

The nice parts they well-protected by a vanguard

The opposite of how these concentration camps are

Low-income housing it dwells murderers

But children don't qualify for health services

The bourgeois act like they don't see starvations

Like they spraying est é e lauder on sanitation

It seems like everywhere I go everybodys in a struggle

Oh the whole world is a ghetto

Oh the whole world is a ghetto

The ghetto the ghetto the ghetto

The the the the

Streetlights come on cop cars' lights flicker

They smoke us like cigarettes need a light n***a

Used to chastise or string us up to spite niggas

War to fight for the culture instead we eaten by vultures

They mix us like mimosas hang us on wanted posters

Asked for license and registration with they gun out the holster

Some of us guilty some of us not some of us filthy rich

Others just watch us niggas drive up the block

We think we keeping it one hundred coming back to the hood

They think we flossin' money so they pull a ratchet what's good

It happens in compton happens in queens happened to big L

Happened to chinx and 2Pac in that passenger's seat

Sometimes it's internal happens to you before you happen to bleed

What's beef cops killing niggas dead in the streets

So before we look outside we gotta look within

Cause now we the dinosaurs I think the world 'bout to end

It seems like everywhere I go everybodys in a struggle

Oh the whole world is a ghetto

Oh the whole world is a ghetto

The ghetto the ghetto the ghetto

The the the the

I'm from the project buildings high stories

My stories from valence to glory

Dog-eat-dog world gory

In the gutter brother despise brother

Throwing threats at each other

Broken bottles and bar fights with box cutters

Alcoholics narcotics organized

Families sleep from a gas stove burned alive

They bagging up drugs with plastic gloves

On his way to the top with his cash he shrugs

Kidnappers degenerate thieves and gamblers

Stealing panhandlers wrapping grams up

Rubber bands on they grams what

Playing cards and they bored

Members of gangs living by and dying by the sword

Block parties fools stamp debit cards

Your hood ain't no different from ours

We share the same dreams same money

Same clothes and cars instead we get the same jail bars

The world's a ghetto the world's a ghetto

The world's a ghetto ghetto

The world's a ghetto

Me and god's son jumping out of project buildings in black parachutes

Both classic both ride through the hood in a pair of coupes

Flow sick mix the henny with the theraflu

He told me I was ill at that houston's n***a where was you

Hip-hop critics sit the f**k down get a chair or two

I ain't tryna kick knowledge just a pair of graphic parables

Grew up spent the whole middle school in the same pair of shoes

Me and my brother sharing shoes my childhood was terrible

That's why I spend nights on the rooftop smoking medical

You got a minute my n***a let me break down the variables

Adapted to my surroundings flow better than I used to

Momma this for us buyers for the days I wore fubu

Having beaucoup dreams deuce-deuce in jeans my n***a

Now I'ma end your career in two sixteens my niggas

If he the god's son then I must be the prophet

And all this king of LA shit you niggas need to stop it

It seems like everywhere I go everybodys in a struggle

Oh the whole world is a ghetto

Oh the whole world is a ghetto

The ghetto the ghetto the ghetto

The the the the

Uh it's a ghetto

Uh it's a ghetto

It's a ghetto

You gonna take that top note or what man

We gonna do this harmony or we gonna do it right

This motherf**ker chuck gonna come here swinging

He's gonna come here drunk off that shit

Come on now let's get it right tighten up n***a

Hey one two three four

It's a ghetto it's a ghetto

It's a ghetto it's a ghetto

One more time
