| She’s only fourteen years old, never had a father
|
| Her mama on the blow, she only going under, so I guess she’s all alone
|
| Wanting something to eat, cause ain’t nothing in her home
|
| If that’s what you call it, two bedrooms, these people ain’t got no heat niether
|
| Stressin tryna know why her pops don’t want to keep her
|
| People keep tellin her fuck 'm, you’ll be aight
|
| But how so, when the coat is the only thing keepin her warm at night
|
| So one night, she decided to go swallo her pride
|
| Cause her friends been recommending she go for a ride
|
| Now hot box to a hot spot, get a lil cash
|
| But they didn’t tell her to get the cash, she gotta get out fast
|
| She goin step in the spot, house jumpin
|
| Feelin kinda nervous, heart pumpin
|
| No young dudes around, they grown men
|
| Who all blowin weed, sippin on Jin
|
| Time goes, they start to disappear
|
| One here, one here, till it’s down to her and the nigga with the Benz
|
| He took her upstairs, gave it to her bad, she won’t refuse it
|
| She realised the man was too strong, she’s only losing
|
| Plus she’s being held down by another brother
|
| Blood on the sheets and covers, oh brother
|
| Wake up in the morning, take herself to get tested
|
| Found out she was ades infected
|
| See, you wouldn’t understand if you wasn’t in these streets
|
| Bout life in the ghetto
|
| Life in the ghetto
|
| I know you don’t know what it feels like to not eat or sleep
|
| When you live in the ghetto
|
| When you come from the ghetto
|
| Young and thuggin, 17, he got a Glock
|
| Tryna get the cream, he survin feends
|
| Scream when confronted by the big dogs, but he gotta get his own
|
| Take shifts and take trips when it’s time to move
|
| Cool, no school for him
|
| Fuck a principal, no rules for him
|
| He not really gettin it, there’s still rules in the streets
|
| Listen to the OGs, or be done and get found
|
| His money been gettin lardger, he been grindin harder
|
| Got some beef with some niggas catchin the marder
|
| Thought they was only talkin shit, then they said who wanna hit
|
| See, you wouldn’t understand if you wasn’t in these streets
|
| Bout life in the ghetto
|
| Life in the ghetto
|
| I know you don’t know what it feels like to not eat or sleep
|
| When you live in the ghetto
|
| When you come from the ghetto |
