It's out here Yo mama, I'm to keep my head strong What's up
I'm just a ghetto child trying to it I'm just a ghetto child trying to it
This got me crazy Mama, won't you pray for your I'm just a ghetto trying to make it Mama, I'm a ghetto child trying to make it
I feel like a bird nigga with no I'm stuck in ghetto trying to have a little change My homies killing up other 'cause we gotta eat And I ain't tripping 'cause I'm from the police
I done little 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 Clinton ran the country Until I out Bill Gates had all the money And the media starting east and west wars I'm from the south, where prejudice on us all
Come out of the powdered milk and don't fill us up But why the sold us drugs and charges to clean us up Gave us halves and high interest student loans Four minimum wage and section eight, we call it home
This got me crazy Mama, you pray for your baby? I'm just a ghetto child to make it Mama, I'm just a ghetto child trying to it
This ghetto got me Mama, you pray for your baby? I'm just a child trying to make it Mama, I'm a ghetto child trying to make it
real when you can do whatever you want to do When you to do it Ain't to niggas out there living like that That's why the rest of you niggas ain't never gone it
How niggas in the pen? How niggas in the cemetery don't know why? How many strikes y'all niggas How many innocent children in the ghetto got to lose lives?
Why, why you gotta make your cry? Huh, she you out of the street 'cause that's you gonna die But you won't listen cause mind is one track
And your is hard And getting flipped, and your talking back your ashy act, ass straight up off the wall Lemme talk to y'all, don't think it's too hard to But far and all
And sore and all, it's cool it started off Now niggas ducking like dodge balls Niggas got me scared to plant my seeds, fear of gonna grow in a messed up time, a messed up court
I'm telling ya, you can't do no more It's bigger us, it's out of our hands why I'm praying to God Oh heavenly Father, keep my above the water
'Cause it's Your world and we children sons and Your daughters We struggling, trying to get out of the to make it to mars!!!

This got me crazy Mama, won't you pray for your I'm a ghetto child trying to make it Mama, I'm just a ghetto child to make it
Dear mama, pray for son Hoping I can it through this game Wishing I can change, I've been through so Seen so many things, couldn't find the to explain
The only way to stress is to get high By drinking but I but I can't get too high Cause I keep my eyes on my enemies seen harder times, but there gonna be some harder days
Penitentiary close, but you what? Cemetery's ain't that far Before I die I'm trying to make the whole world Like our people to stand there
The way we express ourself, they think that we all some But look into the eyes of a 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 homie died, before he die cousin told me this Get you something cemeteries Packed full of niggas who had dreams to be
So keep your up, to all my ghetto children it was hard To tell my family one day I was gonna grow up to make When I told them, they to laugh at my so called dream I like to when I came home from jail
I was told best friend turned into a fiend I ain't gonna lie, my conscience ain't clear, I close my eyes Of course you realize, God forgive me, I'm just trying to survive
They cut welfare and health care, that shit gotta I got a positive note, my auntie a baby Congratulations, she on
