Ghetto Livin'

Ghetto Livin' - Mia x/Ghetto Commission

Ghetto living

Ghetto living ghetto living

Ghetto living ghetto living

My mama once told me

That the streets ain't safe

So I walked 'round with a vest

And a strap on my waist

I'm living in a strange place

Where all the odds are against me

I'm doin' bad

And the sh*t you got is startin' to tempt me

We never had

'Cause the ghetto got us trapped in depression

Learnin' lesson after lesson

'Cause the devil be testin'

It got me stressin'

Keep my Smith N Wesson cocked at all times

'Cause even I could fall to victim

At the drop of a dime

But that's the chances

I got to take to escape all of this madness

That put you in the casket

For the cornbread and cabbage

Lord knows

I'm tryin' to find an exit out the ghetto

But it won't let go

That's why I got to tote my pistol

Ghetto living

Father forgive me

I know that what I do is wrong

Ghetto living

I been tryin' a find a better way for so long

Ghetto living

Father forgive me

I know that what I do is wrong

Ghetto living

I been tryin' a find a better way for so long

Soldiers die in my world

But people look at killers like stars

We duckin' from the laws

'Cause we ain't tryin' to live behind bars

Growin' up with less

Envious of what the next man had

Never knew what livin' good was till

I started movin' them sacks

My hood infested with crack

That's why I paint a picture so vivid

I tell it 'cause I live it

Runnin' with boss b**ches and niggas that get convicted

This street got us all

Nothin' changed in the game but the players

I'm talkin' about the hustlers

The ballers the killers and the rhyme sayers

That's why I ain't scared to pop a ni**a

Stop a ni**a drop a ni**a

I only f**k with the real

'Cause it's real in my battlefield

I hope it's true what they say

And that the father forgives

Excuse me for the things I do

'Cause in the ghetto I live

Ghetto living

Father forgive me

I know that what I do is wrong

Ghetto living

I been tryin' a find a better way for so long

Ghetto living

Father forgive me

I know that what I do is wrong

Ghetto living

I been tryin' a find a better way for so long

This sh*t's goin' get even realer

So you ain't gotta ask I feel ya

I live the life of a hard knock

That ghetto b**ch on the block

My ni**a had a shop

I took the rocks and bag w**d

Chased them broads down with china

And ran a lot of minors

With big tymer dreams of money

Hoes and clothes

They didn't get it

Tombstones and jail cells also come with it

I pity all them babies born from crack mama's

But I'm a mama too

And when the bills is due I gotta

Get it how I live bitter tears I cry

My best friend my cousin and my man died

Or should I say was murdered

I know you heard the same stories before

We walk the streets like we poverties

Whores behind the dollar bill

This still life got us dying so young

Precious Lord let the new day come

'Cause ain't no winning when your living like that

It's the blueprint the plan the set up the trap

Ghetto living

Father forgive me

I know that what I do is wrong

Ghetto living

I been tryin' a find a better way for so long

Ghetto living

Father forgive me

I know that what I do is wrong

Ghetto living

I been tryin' a find a better way for so long
