The Ghetto

[Verse 1]

I'm in the h double o-d the southeast of the Thames

I reminisce and wish that I could see my Gs again

So many dramas that I had but I done did my best

To keep my people out the cells my life is like a test

Was getting money as a younger G, living nice

I paid no mind I trust in God they tried to take my life

Sometimes I wonder why I felt the tear behind my eye

I felt to tell the tone and make a brother recognise

Ain't made a sound I never folded had to hold it down

And never turned my back on those I've been with from the ground

Still represent the set I love my bruddas but I had

To focus on myself I was a boy now I'm a man

My name is N-o-v my life is deeper than it seems

Raised in the ghetto but still tryna execute my dreams

Steady thinking bout my destiny

I'm steady thinking bout the kids in my community

[Verse 2]

Who would've thought I could've made it to this age I'm at

If you ain't lived up in my hood you wouldn't understand

Was riding solo that's a fact don't trust no other man

You see me and i'm on my jacks and it's been like that

Sometimes I kick back in my whip alone and just reflect

My people need me it's for real so I watch my step

I see these bruddas think they're hard but ain't got no respect

Until they learn the kinda lesson that they won't forget

Been dodging bullets but you know my G I ain't a fool

When I was broke again I stopped receiving phone calls

But I'm a smart guy you know I had to make it back

And now they see me saying bro they know it ain't like that

I'm waking up all dough it looks the same I do my thing

The ends is on my back and say they wanna see me win

I dropped my top I keep it cool and I don't say a thing

My name is Novelist my G and this is how I live
