Chorus (Flaj)
|
|
What we see [what we see] everyday [everyday]
|
Livin' in the ghetto this is where I stay
|
[What we do] what we do [to get by] to get by
|
Live or die, the world is a ghetto
|
|
(Scarface)
|
|
Lets take a journey to the other side
|
Where many people learn to live with their handicaps
|
While others die
|
Where muthafuckas had no money spots
|
And if they did then they ass went insane
|
When all the money stops
|
|
I'm from the ghetto so I'm used to that
|
Look on your muthafuckin map and find Texas
|
And see where Houston at
|
Its on the borderline of hard times
|
And it's seldom that your hear niggas breakin' and givin' God time
|
That's 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 I'm 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 ain't no secret
|
The world is a ghetto
|
|
Chorus (Flaj)
|
|
(Bushwick Bill)
|
|
Five hundred niggas died in guerilla warfare
|
In a village in Africa, but didn't nobody care
|
They just called up the goddamn gravedigga
|
And said come get these muthafuckin 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 muthafuckas out of victims
|
Don't nobody give a fuck about the po
|
It's double jeopardy if your black or latino
|
They got muthafuckin drugs in the slums
|
Got us killing one another over crumbs
|
Think I'm lying? Well muthafucka I got proof
|
Name a section in your city where minorities group
|
And I'ma 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 ain't 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
|
|
(Willie D)
|
|
What's up outta towner? Southern nigga downer
|
I wish you would bring your muthafuckin ass around here
|
With that hip shit shit from your block
|
You fuck around and get shipped back home to ya momma in a pine box
|
Cause we don't play that shit in 5th Ward
|
We got killas and hustlas and playas to so nigga disregard
|
What your seeing on them western movies
|
cause yo! I ain't never rode a horse before
|
Ho, think we slow? Smash the gas
|
And watch how fast I'll put these hands on yo' bitch ass
|
Try to load them dice, you'll meet the gravedigga
|
Cause game recognize game scheisty ass nigga
|
See I done seen fools die for less
|
Than a goddamn cigarette butt, for fuckin' wit my set
|
So get that frown off your face busta
|
Cause you ghetto ain't no harder than mine
|
Muthafucka
