Welcome To The Ghetto

Welcome to the ghetto\n(Verse 1)\nLivin day by day in my hood on the spot\nSee the same old things: same dope fiends cops\nJust an average day in the streets of California\n5 0 find a young girl dead around the corner\nMommies on her knees she had tears in her eyes\nAnd nobody knew why the young girl had to die\nPeople look ashamed it’s been life this fo years\nBloody sheets on her body face wet from her mama’s tears\nShe couldn’ta been over 4−5\nAnd if mommy wasn’t based she would still be alive\nBut now the street is a place you could be swallowed by death\nBrothas takin each other’s lives\nAnd goin to REST IN PEACE\nI wonder if heaven got a ghetto\nMy cousin died last year\nAnd I still can’t let go\nI walk the streets of my city of my neighborhood\nSeein dope fiends livin off can goods\n15 niggaz on the corner\nAnd niggaz die young in California\n5−0 'll get a dope case and flaunt it\nHave your ass on «America's Most Wanted»\nBut I don’t slang or either gang-bang\nAnd though my old school homies do the same thang\nI still got love cause you gotta live\nSo you can give\nAnd raise a family G\nBut you gotta do your best slangin D-O-P-E\nSo keep a grip on yourself and stay mellow\nAnd welcome to the ghetto\n(welcome hard up with it to my life) ??\n(chorus) 4x\nWelcome to the ghetto\n(welcome hard up with it to my life)\n(Verse 2)\nFrom across the seas comes cocaine\nBut you never seen a black man fly the plane\nLook at the news: a young black death\nWas it drug related, take a guess\nI flash when I look in the mirror black\nCause my reflection is a 9 millimeter Gat\nI think about genocide\nAnd have thoughts of my homies who died\nEverybody backstabbin\nBut I ain’t the one to talk I’m into gafflin\nDeath gives a shit about your color\nBut yet I see mo dead young brothas\nI’m goin crazy out here\nSeein 24 brothas die by the end of the year\nAnd I still gotta deal with the 5−0\nAnd I stopped sellin dope in 9−0\nBut if I came to it\nI probably still do it\nPut a Nine in my draws get straight to it\nI hope that I never see the day\nThat I get 20 years for a cake\nB-K-A as a key\nSo open up the door for the mo money\nBut I ain’t gotta do that G\nCause I’m down with the F-A to the C to the U to the L-T-Y\nG-nut X-tra Large and S-P-I-C-E make niggas feel like jello\nAnd welcome to the ghetto\n(Welcome hard up with it to my life)\n(chorus) 4x\nWelcome to the ghetto 7x
