Ghetto

[Intro: Trae Tha Truth]

Yea

Hol' Up

In the Ghetto

I can't tell you about you, but I can tell you something about me

[Verse 1: Trae Tha Truth]

I got this chopper with me

Slidin' through the city, sippin something heavy

Fuck around and catch a body

Body me a nigga, tell them hoes steady

Ready for whatever, father helpful times

Many niggas outta line

Got a 40 pulled up to my waist

The other peace I need I couldn't find

[?] I could rewind it

Pain and hurt don't remind it

I'm fightin' knowin' nothin' promise

I'm close as hell but still can't time it

Just ridin' trying to make it home

That's real life, fuck this song

My sons know they daddy good

And they feel it so they call my phone

I can't answer, so I gotta pray

Shit I don't wanna die today

Fuck niggas might just try today

But I know I'll let a [?]

Forever in the hell hole

Go right beside your head hoe

I'm a asshole to the dissers

Tell them haters I say hello

[Chorus: Ink]

In the ghetto, some got hard on me

In the ghetto, only place I feel free

In the ghetto, livin' these ghetto dreams

In the ghetto, survive by any means

[Verse 2: T.I.]

We live by any means

Forever, we gon' stand for some or fall for anything

Whenever we pull up get turnt up

Don't concern unless it plenty green

And Hennessy, we blowin' presidential Kennedy

Remember me I had a bomb in da cut

Had a Glock on my hip

Was trappin' the police pull up

No talkin' or hoppin' the fence

Fresh outta' jail gotta open case

I'm dodgin' prison but I'm trappin payin my probation

I know my mama wish I focused on my education

And I do too, but that ain't gon' get us off of Section 8

Know where we stay, no opportunity

See what they did to Freddie Gray they'd love to do to me

But I can't let them bitches play me, nu-uh

[Chorus: Ink]

In the ghetto, some got hard on me

In the ghetto, only place I feel free

In the ghetto, livin' these ghetto dreams

In the ghetto, survive by any means

[Verse 3: Wyclef Jean]

Ghetto where I come from

Slumdog Millionaire slums

But we diamonds in the rough, son

We keep a 9 for protection, ay

And you can never judge me, cuz you never been there

In the middle of the night, when the enemies appear

Ghetto where we come from

Where death is not an option, tonight

Even though I said someone please call 911

Cops was too late

I had no time to wait

I'm at another wake

Another product face, lord

[Chorus: Ink]

In the ghetto, some got hard on me

In the ghetto, only place I feel free

In the ghetto, livin' these ghetto dreams

In the ghetto, survive by any means
