I Wonder If Heaven Got a Ghetto (Hip-Hop Version)

Wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

Wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

Wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

Wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I was raised a little young **** doing bad shit

Talk much shit 'cause I never had shit

I could remember being whooped in class

And if I didn't pass, mama whooped my ass

Was it my fault papa didn't plan it out

Broke out, left me to be the man of the house

I couldn't take it, had to make a profit

Down the block, got a Glock and I clock grips

Making G's was my mission

Move enough of this shit to get my mama out the kitchen

And why must I sock a fella?

Just to live large like Rockefeller

First you didn't give a fuck, but you're learning now

If you don't respect our town then we'll burn you down

God damn, it's a motherfucking riot

Black people on a rage, police, so don't try it

If you're not from the town then don't pass through

'Cause some OG fools might blast you

It ain't right, but it's long overdue

We can't have peace till the **** get a piece, too

I want G's so you label me a criminal

And if I die, I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

Here on earth, tell me what's a black life worth

A bottle of juice is no excuse, the truth hurts

And even when you taped and shit

Move counties, get a lawyer, you can shake the shit

Ask Rodney, Latasha and many more

It's been going on for years, there's plenty more

When they ask me, when will the violence cease?

When your troops stop shooting **** down in the street

**** had enough, time to make a difference

Bear witness, own our own business

Fuck the guard 'cause it's hard tryna make ends meet

First we couldn't afford shit, now everything's free

So we loot, please don't shoot when you see

I'm taking from them 'cause for years they would take from me

Now the tables just turned around

You didn't listen until the **** burned it down

And now Bush can't stop the hit

I predicted this shit in 2Pacalypse

And for once I was down with ****

Felt good in the hood being around the ****, yeah

And for the first time everybody let go

And the streets was death row

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I see no changes, all I see is racist faces

Misplaced hate makes disgrace look racist

We under, I wonder what it takes to make this

One better place, let's erase the wasted

Take the evil out the people, they'll be acting right

'Cause both black and white is smoking crack tonight

And the only time we deal is when we kill each other

It takes skill to be real, time to heal each other

Though it seems heaven sent

We ain't ready to have a black president

It ain't a secret, don't conceal the fact

The penitentiary's packed and it's filled with blacks

I wake up in the morning, and I ask myself

Is life worth living, should I blast myself?

I'm tired of being poor, and even worse, I'm black

My stomach hurts, so I'm looking for a purse to snatch

Cops give a damn about a negro

Pull the trigger, kill a ****, he's a hero

More ****, more ****, more ****

Rather be a dead than a poor ****

Let the Lord judge the criminals

If I die, I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

And I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

Just think, if **** decide to retaliate

Soldier in the house

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

Wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

Just think, if **** decide to retaliate
