The World Is a Ghetto

What we see

What we see

Every day

Every day

Is from livin' in the ghetto, this is where I stay

What we do

What we do

To get by

To get by

Live or die

I know the world is a ghetto

Let's take a journey to the other side

Where many people learn to live with they handicaps while others die

Where motherfuckers 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 motherfuckin' map and find Texas and see where Houston at

It's on the borderline of hard times

And it's seldom that your hear **** prayin' and givin' God time

That's why I ask my ma to pray for me

Because I know that even I got to die and He got a day for me

And every mornin' 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

What we see

Every day

Every day

Livin' in the ghetto, this is where I stay

What we do

What we do

To get by

To get by

Live or die

World is a ghetto

Five hundred **** died in guerilla warfare

In a village in Africa, but didn't nobody care

They just called up the goddamn grave digger

And said, "Come get these motherfuckin' ****"

Just like they do in the Fifth Ward

In the South Park and the Bronx and the Watts

You know they got crooked cops

Workin' for the system

Makin' po' motherfuckers out of victims

'Cause don't nobody give a fuck about the po'

It's double jeopardy if you're Black or Latino

They got they motherfuckin' drugs in the slums

Got us killin' one another over crumbs

Think I'm lyin'? Well motherfucker, 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 food in they bellies

They call my neighborhood a jungle

And me an animal, like they do the people of Rwanda

Fools fleein' their countries to come here black

But see the same bullshit and head right back

They find out what **** already know

The world is a ghetto

What's up, outta towner?

Southern **** downer

I wish you would bring your motherfuckin' ass around here

With that hip shit from your block

You fuck around and get shipped home to ya momma in a pine box

'Cause we don't play that shit in Fifth Ward

We got killers and hustlers and players too, so ****, disregard

What you're seein' on them western movies

'Cause yo, 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 grave digger

'Cause game recognize game, scheisty ass ****

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, buster

'Cause you ghetto ain't no harder than mine, motherfucker

What we see

What we see

Every day

Every day

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

Yeah, this world is a ghetto

What we see

What we see

Every day

Every day
