It's crazy out Yo mama, I'm tryin to keep my head up Mystikal?
I'm just a ghetto trying to make it I'm just a ghetto trying to make it
This ghetto got me Mama, won't you pray for baby? I'm just a ghetto child to make it Mama, I'm just a ghetto child trying to it
I feel like a bird nigga with no I'm stuck in this ghetto trying to have a change My killing up each other 'cause we gotta eat And I ain't 'cause I'm running from the police
I done seen little kids in the starving I done seen hoes messing then Marvin See in the ghetto the sun it barely But so many in jail and the welfare lines
And all my life I thought Clinton ran the country Until I found out Gates had all the money And the media east and west coast wars I'm the south, where they prejudice on us all
out of the powdered milk and eggs don't fill us up But why the government sold us drugs and charges to us up Gave us three halves and high student loans Four dollar minimum wage and section eight, we call it
ghetto got me crazy Mama, won't you for your baby? I'm just a child trying to make it Mama, I'm just a ghetto trying to make it
ghetto got me crazy Mama, won't you pray for your I'm just a ghetto child to make it Mama, I'm just a ghetto child trying to it
It's real you can do whatever you want to do you want to do it Ain't to many niggas out there living that That's why the rest of you niggas ain't gone through it
How many in the pen? How many niggas in the cemetery know why? How many strikes niggas need? How many children in the ghetto got to lose their lives?
Why, why you gotta your momma cry? Huh, she take you out of the 'cause that's where you die But you won't listen your mind is one track
And head is hard And your flipped, and your talking back Showing your act, ass straight up off the wall Lemme to y'all, don't think it's too hard to fall But far and all
And and all, it's cool when it started off Now ducking bullets like dodge balls Niggas got me scared to plant my seeds, fear of high's grow Living in a messed up time, a messed up
I'm telling ya, you can't do shit no bigger than us, it's out of our hands That's why I'm to God Oh heavenly Father, keep my head above the
'Cause it's Your world and we children Your sons and daughters We struggling, to get out of the ghetto to make it to mars!!!

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