Ghetto Vet

Life

**** used to come and get me

When it was time to disagree with an enemy

Pass the Hennessy, it gives me energy

Packed the gat in the small of my back

Where these **** at, I clear the whole pack

Talking shit 'cause I'm down for my set, I'm a vet

Smoking on a wet cigarette

Who these **** think they are?

Wishing on a ghetto star, I represent my tar

I start busting and they scatter like water bugs

Cause these west side **** is harder thugs

Enslave us but nothing can save us

From sporting Ben Davis, shooting at your neighbors

Cause sometimes I feel like a nut

Don't give a fuck when I open you up

Hot rocks fly from the back seat

And busta ass **** run like a track meet

And if you crawl in the middle bleed more dinner little, what

Killer king is the hospital

Feeling numb from the bullets I hum

And when they hit black mothers have fits, I don't give a shit

Fool, I'm a vet, you can bet that

I could dance underwater and not get wet, check it

It's raining bullets and I'm still there

I'm still there

My house shoes get wet from the dew on the grass

Up early in the morning, taking out the trash

Feeling like a loser alcohol abuser

Two youngsters roll up on a beach cruiser

One on the peddles the other on the handle bars

Tryna be ghetto stars, they said

Are you from the west side, is it so

I said hell yeah, and who want to know?

In slow mo, fo, fo slugs face down in the mud

Puddle full of blood left for dead

The pain starts to spread, now I can't feel my legs

I met doctor who at King Drew medical center

As I enter I see you

He said the bullet hit a nerve that was vital

I said I can't move my legs, he said don't try to

Now this ain't the end, my friend, but you'll probably never walk again

I sit there motionless holding this

Pain inside, contemplating suicide

At night I jerk and jerk

But my dick don't work, it don't even hurt

Now who'd ever thought a **** rude as Ice Cube

I be pissing through a tube, fool, I'm a vet

Fool, I'm a vet, you can bet that

I could dance underwater and not get wet, check it

It's raining bullets and I'm still there

Young ghetto **** in a wheelchair

Fuck a VA, they need a GA

Gang hospital for a cripple, now I'm drinking ripple

Same corner, same hood, I'm still there

With bandanas tied to my wheelchair

To all the hood rat hoes, I'm fine

They mad 'cause my tongue get tied

Now everybody wanna put they dope on me

Saying I won't get searched by the LAPD

I'm sitting on a doorway deuce five

Depending on neck to keep my ass alive

I don't got folks but my arms about a one six

My fucking legs looking like tooth picks

Sometimes I can't deal

Got to beg the be G's to roll me up the hill

Put me on the porch now I'm on the torch smoking cocaine

Just to maintain, nothing to gain, nothing to lose

And last night I couldn't make it to the bathroom

Feeling like a two year old you can't get a sip from the brew I hold

**** it's the only friend to a stranger, AKA handicap gang banger

There's a lot in my life I regret

Becoming a ghetto vet

Fool, I'm a vet

Fool, I'm a vet, you can bet that

I could dance underwater and not get wet, check it

It's raining bullets and I'm still there

Young ghetto **** in a wheelchair

Fool, I'm a vet, you can bet that

I could dance underwater and not get wet, check it

It's raining bullets and I'm still there

Young ghetto **** in a wheelchair

Life

Yeah

Life

Yeah

Life

Life

Dedicated to all the ghetto vets

For every **** that done took one for the hood
