Ghetto

[Chorus: Yhung T.O.]

And that's just how it is when you grow up in the ghetto

And that's just how it is when you grow up in the ghetto

And that's just how it is when you grow up in the ghetto

And that's just how it is when you grow up in the ghetto

[Verse 1: Yhung T.O.]

And that's the way that it is, when you coming from nothing

And you gotta tote a gun and die young where I'm from

He was only 15 when they took a kid life

And don't a day go by, I don't remember the night

Another black mom crying, wiping tears from her eyes

Wonder why so young her own son had to die

Why his dad ain't around? 'Cause he ain't give him no time

I can tell how he feel reminiscing 'bout mine

Another chance at life, it would only be right

But he made his first mistake and the judge gave him life

Another man from his family tryna earn for his son

Now his daddy ain't home, gotta grow up on his own

But it's the way of the world, and the way that it go

Will it get better? How I'm living I probably won't know

'Cause by then I'll be gone

Yeah I know right from wrong

But when you grow up in the ghetto

This the way that it go, so

[Chorus: Yhung T.O.]

And that's just how it is when you grow up in the ghetto

And that's just how it is when you grow up in the ghetto

And that's just how it is when you grow up in the ghetto

And that's just how it is when you grow up in the ghetto

[Verse 2: DaBoii]

Single mothers raise their children with no father at home

Young boys growing up with no guidance, all alone

Start going down the wrong road, ain't no turning back

'Cause when you jump off that porch, taken by God or be strapped

You do that gangster shit once, you in it for life

What goes around, comes around you'll be paying that price

From whatever it is, that's the way that it is

Take a risk with they lives not caring if they live

Putting down the books, just to load up guns

Hoop dreams out the window so they grow up to be thugs

A legend's what they wanna be, don't grow up to be much

Most the love ain't real so I'm showing no love

If you care about your life then keep your enemies close

'Cause if you don't next thing you know, you'll be considered a ghost

And no that shit ain't that easy, consider it smoke

You take a life, you lose a life, that's just the way that it go

In the ghetto

[Chorus: Yhung T.O.]

And that's just how it is when you grow up in the ghetto

And that's just how it is when you grow up in the ghetto

And that's just how it is when you grow up in the ghetto

And that's just how it is when you grow up in the ghetto

[Verse 3: Snoop Dogg]

I'm from the shitty city, where niggas is born to die

And if you choose to gangbang then you're sworn to ride

See at a early age, niggas make you choose the sides

It's called survival and only the strong survive

See I can talk you through it, walk you through it, let you see

But I don't really know if you gon' see as G as me

These lifelong lessons, with the street shit

These ghetto politics, cuh that's some deep shit

One nigga made it out, two niggas shot him down

Three mamas crying now, all of them lying down

These preachers praying now, and y'all still playing around

Twenty five in the game and I'm still staying down

With my ethic and my code which is ghetto

Which afforded me to win four medals

And settle down with my wife

Ghetto fabulous life

Yeah that's right

Double me up, I do it twice

Nice, that's how we do it my nigga

[Chorus: Yhung T.O.]

And that's just how it is when you grow up in the ghetto

And that's just how it is when you grow up in the ghetto

And that's just how it is when you grow up in the ghetto

And that's just how it is when you grow up in the ghetto
