Ghetto

[Chorus: CeeLo Green]

I'm in the ghetto

Tryin grind up out it

And the feeling got niggas, killing an dying about it

And my only concern is will it be my turn today

And maybe it just might but it's alright

We still choppin' through the night so hold on tight

I see the light and I just hope tomorrow ain't to far away

Waiting for tomorrow

[Verse 1: 2 Chainz]

Watching ceiling fans go round an round

Sweat from stress looks like rain on the ground

When I exhale

See the pain in the clouds

Pretty much the same as a child the pain I mean

Product of my environment was kane to me

Product of my environment why you blaming me?

You see, it ain't no change in me

That being the dope boy was the thang to be

And that's cliché but have your mama ever ask you [?]

And she be like I pay ya in 3 days

And the third day its a friday and you don't see her 'til like sunday

And she sleep all day on monday

U be like "Ma wheres my money?"

And she be like "Boy don't bug me"

We stay in this apartment

Your dad ain't here I don't have a job yet

If it ain't one thing it's about chump change

My neighborhood sound like a motherfucking gun range

[Chorus: CeeLo Green]

I'm in the ghetto

Tryin grind up out it

And the feeling got niggas, killing an dying about it

And my only concern is will it be my turn today

And maybe it just might but it's alright

We still choppin' through the night so hold on tight

I see the light and I just hope tomorrow ain't to far away

Waiting for tomorrow

[Verse 2: Dolla Boy]

Tomorrow was getting to me

[?]

The powers get to live

Why so hard to live

Look at the positions we in

The streets ain't producing the meal

Niggas that's gettin' it in

A promise ain't willing to give

That's how these domes get built

That's how these jails get filled

Then all we got is [?]

[?]

Father forgive us, we know not what we do

And these days are trouble time and now I'm depending on is you

'Cus the pain I must get through

To get the glory that is due

Sell a [?] Porsche out my coupe

Made a fortune out of snorting happens, that ain't nothing new

Just sail out that double life [?]

[?] Spread news, a poor man [?]

The rich man [?]

Whole click strapped up

Like a movie script, lights, camera, action

[Chorus: CeeLo Green]

I'm in the ghetto

Tryin grind up out it

And the feeling got niggas, killing an dying about it

And my only concern is will it be my turn today

And maybe it just might but it's alright

We still choppin' through the night so hold on tight

I see the light and I just hope tomorrow ain't to far away

Waiting for tomorrow

[Verse 3: Sunni Patterson]

Sky watching at the kerb-side

Searching the city line

Waitin' for the sun rise

Wondering what paradise looks like

Look like she have you [?]

Have you [?]

Have you any tools?

Have you any shelter from the weather of these wolves?

Watch how they do you

Care not how they treat you

Anything to make you think they love you

So [?] even though devils trying to kill you

I recall a brother saying he ain't scared to die

More afraid to dream, so he ain't get no sleep

Staying in the street, talking [?]

[?] crying every night on repeat

If only this was this easy as pressing delete, remove the sheets, erasing the chalk [?]

Pick-pocket [?]

Keep your eye on the horizon

I promise sun shine in the morning like dark before dawn

Before [?] become stronger

Then you know tomorrow is how you live today how you walk [?] you say

How you speak what you think, you know what I'm saying

[Outro: Sunni Patterson]

Sky watching at the kerb-side

Just looking inside

Hoping our time don't end before sunrise

Searchin' and findin'

Living and breathin'

Looking and seein'

Listenin' and hearin'

All too clear

Tomorrow is here (Is here, is here)
