Key: G minor•
Verse 1
they seem to think about
the worst of the worst.
Dm
Gm
But let me tell you something,
the best of the best
that came up out of the hood.
F
Gm
To all my people that still there,
especially the children,
F
Dm
Gm
I feel like God gave each of us something
that we can do just as good or better
F
Gm
than anybody in the world
and get paid at doing it.
You just got to figure out what your gift is
F
Gm
F
Gm
and apply yourself. Hell,
F
Gm
F
I did it. Anybody can do it.
Gm
F
Gm
I know you can. Just roll with it.
Livin' ghetto, ghetto
F
Gm
F
Gm
We try hard to stay in love, yeah
Livin' ghetto, ghetto
Tryin' to survive, it's either do or die
F
Gm
it means a whole bunch of killin'
Drug dealin',
F
Gm
my ghetto niggas keepin' real in
I ain't shamed because the
ghetto got me stuck
What the fuck?
F
Gm
there is a habit on my block
Fuck the heebie cocks,
because I'm stompin' with them thugs
And I'm bustin' slugs,
F
Gm
and any nigga got a grudge
See I ain't changed,
because I love where I'm from
Enemies get dumbed by the
F
Gm
gun where I'm from
F
Gm
The ghetto took niggas, made niggas
F
Gm
till I die, gettin' high
F
Gm
Got my 4 -4 to make sure I stay alive,
F
Gm
I cry my own way
F
Gm
Look, fuck what these niggas say,
I'm Judge Medea
We all gon' have to pay, live in ghetto
F
Gm
F
Gm
We try hard to stay in love, yeah
F
Gm
F
Try to survive and see they do or die,
F
Gm
We try hard to stay in love, yeah
Mama checkin' in my
room but I'm gone
Cause I'm feelin' safer on the streets
F
Gm
before she makes me snap
I'm gettin' mine,
tryin' to beat the system blue
Committin' crimes, hell,
a constant reoccurrence
I'm tryin' to communicate
F
Gm
scarred my ass, ace
So I take it out on neighborhood
and deadly tools
Dm
Gm
But get abused when I bring home youth
My lil' homie made the news,
F
Gm
some essay in ANOVA
F
Gm
Shot him in the back of the head
F
Gm
and ran him over
Now what's the police
when you need they ass
for ghetto kids
F
Gm
We try hard to stay alive
Livin' ghetto, ghetto
Tryin' to survive and see they do or die
Tryin' to survive and see
Livin' ghetto
And that thing cold from the block fights
I's the one that's got this
Gm
F
Gm
Anything you want, you know me,
F
Gm
from up the streets
I'ma set him down if he
F
Gm
try to play me weak
Go to these trips
and keep comin' to my home
My nigga can't be trusted
I done gained enough knowledge,
made enough green
Gm
F
A ghetto soldier, ghetto livin'
F
Gm
F
Tryin' to survive is either do or die,
livin' ghetto
F
Gm
We try hard to stay alive, yeah
Livin' ghetto, ghetto
Dm
F
Tryin' to survive is either do or die,
livin' ghetto
F
Gm
Puttin' it down from N .O. to H -Town
The ghetto
F
Gm
is why the trains always stop on the tracks
in the hood for hours at a time.
F
Gm
And I finally figured it out.
Dm
Gm
They figure we ain't got nowhere to go.
Or we ain't going nowhere.
F
Gm
Oh, and if there's any
police out there listening,
let me talk to y 'all head
up for one moment.
Why is it that y 'all find a need
F
enfranchised?
F
Gm
who can't afford them?
and asking them
is everything okay?
When you see a brother
minding his own business,
I finally figured that out to y 'all haters
How did you like the song?
