I feel like a bird nigga with no I'm stuck in this ghetto trying to a little change My killing up each other 'cause we gotta eat And I ain't tripping 'cause I'm running the police
I done seen kids in the projects starving I done seen more messing then Marvin See in the ghetto the sun it shines But so many in jail and the welfare lines
And all my life I thought Bill ran the country Until I found out Gates had all the money And the media east and west coast wars I'm from the south, they prejudice on us all
Come out of the milk and eggs don't fill us up But why the sold us drugs and charges to clean us up Gave us three halves and high interest student Four dollar minimum and section eight, we call it home

It's when you can do whatever you want to do When you to do it to many niggas out there living like that That's why the rest of you niggas ain't gone through it
How many niggas in the How many niggas in the don't know why? How many strikes y'all need? How many innocent children in the ghetto got to their lives?

And your head is And your flipped, and your talking back Showing your ashy act, ass up off the wall Lemme to y'all, don't think it's too hard to fall But far and all
And sore and all, it's cool it started off Now ducking bullets like dodge balls Niggas got me to plant my seeds, fear of high's gonna grow in a messed up time, a messed up court
I'm telling ya, you do shit no more It's bigger us, it's out of our hands That's why I'm to God Oh heavenly Father, keep my above the water
'Cause it's Your and we your children sons and Your daughters We struggling, to get out of the ghetto to make it to mars!!!

Dear mama, for your son I can make it through this game Wishing I can change, I've been so much Seen so many things, couldn't find the words to
The only way to stress is to get high By drinking Hennessey but I but I get too high I gotta keep my eyes on my enemies I've seen harder times, but there gonna be some days
Penitentiary close, but you know Cemetery's that far away Before I die I'm trying to make the world feel Like our people scared to there
The way we express ourself, they think that we all killers But into the eyes of a ghetto child influenced by the street Go to sleep to gunshots, wake up from the sirens of the See now my life ain't the same nigga, life as a thug
If I had to draw a picture of my I to paint my picture in blood Closest died, before he die little cousin told me this Get you 'cause cemeteries full of niggas who had dreams to be rich
So keep your head up, to all my ghetto children it was To tell my family one day I was gonna grow up to millions When I told them, they to laugh at my so called dream I like to scream I came home from jail
I was told best friend turned into a fiend I ain't gonna lie, my conscience ain't clear, when I my eyes Of course you gotta realize, God me, I'm just trying to survive
They cut and health care, that shit gotta stop I got a positive note, my auntie having a Congratulations, she on
