Trae - In the Ghetto текст песни

feat. Lil Boss, Redd, Russell Lee, Spice 1
[Russell Lee (Trae)/Chorus]:2x
Yeah
In the ghetto
I'm livin in a ghetto world
In the ghetto (in the ghetto)
Its a struggle but I gotta maintain

[Trae]
Welcome to the ghetto
It forever be the same
Hard times got my people unable to maintain
Everytime I look around there somebody doin bad
That will put you in the grave for somethin they never had
Everyday in the hood it be the same thing
Poverty runnin my people so they love pain
And I don't know if its wrong
But still I know it ain't right
Ive seen a lot of people die in this street life
The other day it hurt my heart when I watched the news
A little girl got killed while she was a sleep in her room
She didnt deserve to die cause thats a kid dawg
Them niggaz took the life she didnt get to live at all
Sometimes I want to help the ghetto
But it ain't goin do a thang
Cause I know that they ignorent and thats a god damn shame
Its a everyday task
Tryin to live a good live
Inside the ghetto
Where everybody be shife

[Chorus]

[Redd]
Yeah Yeah
Welcome to the south
Niggaz ain't sleep at all
(At all)everybody out on the block stayed up with them laws
A couple of niggaz on parole
Hustlin by the store I tell 'em that ain't the way to go
Playa roll
But you don't hear me though
This is what I'm livin fo
Hustle till I get mine grind cause I need mo
Shots released to late for you to scream peace
This how it is out on the street
Leavin is awesomelly
Still I maintain
Seein the same thing
Sometimes I strain my brain jus lookin for a change
But day in and day out I move in and move out
I keep my business ,the skreet
I'm on a paper route
I wouldnt go for nuttin
But still I was learnin sumthin
If you ain't been through nuttin you ain't seen nuttin
This how it is realy is round my way
Where anybody can get it anytime of the day, ayy

[Jayton]
I analyze the blocks babies are runnin around wit glocks
Dope in they socks skate, skip, hop so fuck the cops
Movin from crumps to brick nigga these slums are thick
I tried to tell my lil niggaz but they think they slick
These white folks don't play they goin hide you away
They try to give you 20 years just for livin the wrong way
And who to say now they now right from wrong
They ain't livin how we live so they can't get in my zone
We get chased home wit stones and laws wanna break our bones
In places I ??? to roam
Alone and that is part of the reason we goin crazy
Pissed at poverty cause the system tried to fade me
Maybe
I been tryin to stay out of trouble
But it is hard tryin to stop from coppin a second and flippin a Double
Dont catch a wrong route when you on dat metro
Theres a sign in the front of the hood that say welcome to the Ghetto

[Chorus]

[Spice 1]
I wonder if heaven got a ghetto
B-b-burnin down the b-b-block
I put the pedal to the metal
Rollin wit my cousins in Texas
Lil Cross and Big Money my nigga Trae,and Lil Joe nigga all action
In the ghetto, I been ridin in the hood for years
And ain't a damn thang changed momma still shedded tears
Niggaz fresh out da pin sum niggaz jus goin in
Sum nigaz gon run and studder and turnin they self in
Never seen a black man flyin coke on a plane
But they lock us up for it shackin us wit chains
Welcome to the ghetto, ghetto stars and mob cars
With bullet holes in it niggaz shot up his car and still livin
Drivin by the game itself
To stay alive in these cold streets mashin for wealth
Up in this ghetto o.g's and p's and c's
Thugs, pimps, playas hit the 6 4's on 3's

[Chorus]
