We Grew Up In The Ghetto Where Summertimes Short

Straight Action, You Dont Stop For A Fool

Most Use Crime As A Way To Pay The Bills

The Un-lucky Ones End Up Gettin Caught

We Grew Up In The Ghetto Where The Growing Gets Rough

Moneys Been Around But Its Never Been Enough

Most Aint Givin No Choice But To Hussle

Some Break Down When The Going Gets Tough

Deep In The Manners All Kinds Of Different People

Mines Over East Still Struggle To Be Equal

So Many Characters, 4 Main Types

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, And The Evil

Deep In The Manner Where The Povertys Visable

Theres Not Alot Sweet So Most Look Misarable

Most Cave In To The Devil, Took The Wrong Puff

Son Kick The Face But Still Pray For A Miracle

Soccastars Emerge From The Curb

Up N Coming Mcs Struggle To Be Heard

Boy.... The Next Jailbird ??

*censored*s Talk Murder And They Live By There Word

Shotters Keep The Money Going Round

Kids Goin Stray Most Never Get Found

Iv Noticed There A Ghetto In Every Town

The Skies Are Empty Because The Stars Are On The Ground



(chorus)



We Grew Up In The Ghetto Saw Real Life Pain

Real Life Struggle With Real Life Strain

Real Life Kiddies With Real Life Guns

And Real Life Mothers Lose Real Life Sons

Gang Wars Are Ruftin On The Darf Flur On The Seeser ??

Beef After Beef Just To Be The Top Geezer

Big Arms Gas, The Stratford Recs

Ghetto High Murders Gotta Maintain Reps

Whats It All About I Ask Myself Before I Swing

More Time Im Beefin Over Any Little Thing

Beefin Any Area,region Or Vincity

My Ghetto Frame Of Mind Makes Me Prone To Hostility

To My Bredrons Locked Up, To My Young Baby Mothers

Each And Every Creed And Colour, Ghetto Sisters And Brothers

If You Know Your From The Slums Keep Reppin No Doubt

Stay Ghetto If You Must Just Remember To Get Out
