"The Ghetto"
featuring Lil Wayne
Written by T. Quaites, D. Carter
sittin in the turnin lane baby
laid back lookin real cool
im in a white on white caddy
on them gangstas fool
i see children playin
in they over crowded school
and the d boyz on the corner
doin what they do
(chorus)
this the place, where dreams are made
lives are lost everyday
learn to watch
ride and pray
and hope to find a better day
talkin bout the ghetto
the ghetto
only place i know
boy ya better watch ya back yea
all my people holler back
the ghetto
the ghetto
every place i go
we about to take it back yea
all my people got my back
you know i feel ya pain baby
i know johnny need new shoes
had a shootout in the ghetto the other day
but the risk they do
aint nobody hollerin
and its a very serious thing
cuz in order to eat ya gotta play ball, rap or slang
its a damn shame
im talkin about
(chorus)
[lil wayne]
look here we rome streets homes
same streets ya mama told ya not to be on
its home sweet home
we stand alone when its poorin deep on em
cant complain cuz its only home
get into the game thats when life meets wrong
get a lil change thats when right meets wrong
eh tell the whole hood thats its gon be on
cuz ima look good when my brawn meets chrome
and all i know is lower this flow
while my partner lie on this floor
i tell his moms she cry and scream no
i tell the homies why they like oh
thats how the story goes and that cold
and now we gotta strap up and lets roll
eh let me walk with you over the threshhold
and this is my house i show you people
its the ghetto
(chorus)
