Lyrics

[Verse 1]
That's how it be happening
This for all my **** trapping out abandoneds
For my ladies on stage, ass clapping
Transactions 'cause your momma need a mansion
Get cracking, put them **** in a casket
Can't forget the shit they did to your lil' brother 'nem
Shed so many tears, lost a hundred friends
Every time I see them ****, I'ma need that
Believe that
Label tryna give me feedback, told me bring the streets back
Fans said they want 2015 Vince
Dropped Big Fish, cuh been weak since
Damn, tell me how you really feel
All I wanted was a couple mill'
Make the city proud
Put it on 'fore them crackers come and tear it down
What are you about?
[Chorus]
In the ghetto, I'm a Martian
Crash-landed in them dirty ass apartments
Stay solid, I'll forever be the hardest
Big timing like them **** in New Orleans
Grill shining like them **** from Magnolia
Chopper City in the Ghetto, I'm a soldier now
Where they at? Get the gat, ha
Where they at? Get the gat
[Verse 2]
Money growing on trees, **** hanging on palm, smokers spilling OE
Cold 304, she don't want a 16
Renegade on the blade, making tricks, buy her treats
No love, I'ma sleep with my weapon
Porsche 911 slide through the section
Gotta show my homies I'm on now
Both soles on the ground, never sold out
What you know 'bout this?
No glitz and glamour
Pole hanging out of my Polo pajamas
Fades getting ran, gotta watch for the cameras
Before you get freaky, can't fuck with no random
These bitches is sneaky
If police come ask you, then you never seen me
The ghetto will trap you, but I love it
Yeah
I love this shit, on Crip
[Chorus]
In the ghetto, I'm a Martian
Crash-landed in them dirty ass apartments
Stay solid, I'll forever be the hardest
Big timing like them **** in New Orleans
Grill shining like them **** from Magnolia
Chopper City in the Ghetto, I'm a soldier now
Where they at? Get the gat, ha
Where they at? Get the gat
[Verse 3]
I don't need your flowers, I'm living
First time I seen a million dollars, I squinted
Bro gave me a pack to help me hustle, some midget
Came a long way from them project buildings
That's where Granny went when she left Louisiana
Tryna dodge Jim Crow, but you can't escape the master
Stained glass windows kept my vision from the pastor
I'm probably finna go to Hell, but it don't matter
Seen Heaven on Earth
I coulda been up on a shirt
If I ain't get my shit together, go to work
I been hitting licks since F.L.I.P. vs. F.L.I.R.T.S.
Riding with the stick like witchcraft
Finding beauty in the darkness like Rembrandt
Everybody "gang, gang, gang" till it get bad
Do you hear me? The ghetto is a mismatch
You ain't never finna win that, nah
[Chorus]
In the ghetto, I'm a Martian
Crash-landed in them dirty ass apartments
Stay solid, I'll forever be the hardest
Big timing like them **** in New Orleans
Grill shining like them **** from Magnolia
Chopper City in the Ghetto, I'm a soldier now
Where they at? Get the gat, ha
Where they at? Get the gat
[Chorus]
In the ghetto, I'm a Martian
Crash-landed in them dirty ass apartments
Stay solid, I'll forever be the hardest
Big timing like them **** in New Orleans
Grill shining like them **** from Magnolia
Chopper City in the Ghetto, I'm a soldier now
Where they at? Get the gat, ha
Where they at? Get the gat
