hit the block Lexus truck slangin ice cream
a million records sold , thats why yall know P
came up on hard times tryin to make ends
2 stones to my niggaz thats dead and in the pen
the ghetto wont change , they label me the dope man
I slang raps but the feds think its cocaine
tap my phone , these hoes wont leave me alone
nigga gon legit , so stay off the ding dong
independent , thats why they hate me
a million man ghetto march for Master P
so fuck rap pages ( dont know )
yall didnt want to see a nigga make it off the streets
thats why you`ll never see P on MTV
top 40 , but niggaz yall know me
number 1 in every mom and pop and billboard record store
so fuck yall playa hatin hoes
gimme a pen , a pad , and ill make a hit
show every nigga in the ghetto how to get rich
cause yall dont know what go on behind closed doors
white folks pimp niggaz like hoes
but tru niggaz , say fuck that
you owe me money , its time to meet the chrome gat
I got the drank , finna tomorrow I take a piss test
and I know my probs. want me to go back
an ex-con addicted to gangsta rhymes
last year I caught a bullet but it wasnt mine
time to go nigga on dead row , or should I say im stuck in the ghetto
Chorus:
(2x) Just a ghetto thang , a ghetto thang , you would understand if you
was
from the ghetto man
(1x)its a ghetto thang , a ghetto thang , these niggaz got me caught up in
this ghetto thang
Silk:
see I aint got no money up in my pocket
how the fuck ima stop it
ima get the glock and cock and plug you like a socket
see game get deeper but yall dont feel me
telling me to gets up out the game , get a job
I shouldnt rob a nigga , I might kill yah
see up on the block I rides deep on gold thangs
these niggaz be trippin up on my shit and they`ll jack you like it aint no
thang
see im from the city where niggaz be salty and they stay faulty like wires
and I aint seen a gangsta retire yet
on a bet , threw my cothes up on the floor and I sweat
trust nobody cause these niggaz today will smoke you like a cigarette
now bet , rest in peace to all homies that didnt make it
took life for granted , an I panic while seeing niggaz with ski masks
we blast with ski masks and bust a cap into they weak ass
everyday struggle and I stay hustlin like a pan handler
fuck it if I took a chance to get dead like cancer
I betta not chance it
slik , just another nigga tryin to make it up out the ghetto
(Chorus)
Big Ed:
got a hold on me , jealous fools wanna roll on me
will I die or will god just let me be
fufill the prophecy reach my destiny avoid the burial plot
unlive the ones that got popped
I got a son but she says that it isnt mine
Im 24 and since birth ive served hard time
in this concrete jungle , a war zone , many of my peers die
finally made it back home
self preservation is a thing for me
duckin and dodgin bullets stone faces on the ones who pulled it
I promise my mama I wouldnt die before she did
I got my life right got my wife and then my kids
but everywhere I look I see sadness
imagine tryin to raise your babies in this worldwide madness
(chorus) 6x
