The Ghetto (feat. 3D)

(Da Realest)

Talkin' 'bout the ghetto (It doesn't hit unless my daddy on the hook, 3)

This motherfuckin' ghetto

Tryna survive

Tryna stay alive, yeah

The ghetto (Talkin' 'bout the ghetto)

The ghetto (The motherfuckin' ghetto)

The ghetto (Run off with mine)

The ghetto (And them killers gon' slide, yeah)

Even though we all came from nothin' (The ghetto), tryna run up millions

Young boys seventeen in the crack house chillin'

Sold dope with my ****, had to make me a living

Had to get it out the mud and run it up to the ceiling

Food stamps fill the fridge in the hood where I lived

Had to cut the oven on just to heat up the crib

Sold crack to my kin, had no choice as a kid

Junkies beggin' for a rock do anything for a hit

Young **** taking hits, they too lazy to trap

Oldheads still hustling, buyin' eighthies of crack

Where I'm from, it ain't safe, you gotta stay with a strap

If you ain't down to kill something, better stay where you at

In the ghetto (Talkin' 'bout the ghetto)

The ghetto (This motherfuckin' ghetto)

The ghetto (Tryna survive)

The ghetto (Tryna stay alive, yeah)

The ghetto

Shootin' dice on the corner with a sack on my nuts

Walkin' to the liquor store to go and buy me some blunts

Softest **** catchin' bodies, it ain't 'bout being tough

Either kill or be killed, ****, strap on your nuts

Raid vans hit the spot and took my uncle to jail

Can't be labeled as a rat 'cause you gon' die if you tell

Whole hood got indicted, it's like we livin' in hell

Gave my **** natural life, I hope he get his appeal

Used to live with dope fiends, it was natural to me

I ain't never had shit, so I was happy to eat

Ridin' in the base rental with the strap on the seat

Every **** in my hood sell crack just to eat

In the ghetto (Young **** keep dying)

The ghetto (And these bitches still lying)

The ghetto (Got nowhere to sleep)

The ghetto (But got Gucci shoes on your feet)

The ghetto

Barbecuin' in the summer, shootin' hoops on the rim

Auntie shootin' up the needle, uncles using the stem

Hit the road so much, I got used to them trips

Coming back with Rollies on in the newest of whips

Hand-to-hand transactions, tryna stack me a knot

I ain't paid off my license, but just bought me a watch

Neighborhood superstar sellin' crack out of spots

Fuck the titty bar up, then head back to the block

Buy brand new cars, rock brand new clothes

Buy brand new ice, fuck brand new hoes

Brand new white tee and some brand new lows

Just to chill in the hood while I sell my dope

In the ghetto (Talkin' 'bout the ghetto, talkin' 'bout the ghetto, yeah)

The ghetto (Talkin' 'bout the ghetto, this motherfuckin' ghetto)

The ghetto (Talkin' 'bout the ghetto, tryin' to survive)

The ghetto (Talkin' 'bout the ghetto, tryin' to stay alive, yeah)
