I done seen kids in the projects starving I done seen more hoes messing then See in the ghetto the sun it shines But so niggas in jail and the welfare lines
And all my I thought Bill Clinton ran the country Until I found out Bill Gates had all the And the media starting east and coast wars I'm from the south, where prejudice on us all

The way to avoid stress is to get high By drinking Hennessey but I but I can't get too Cause I gotta keep my eyes on my I've seen harder times, but there gonna be harder days
close, but you know what? Cemetery's ain't far away Before I die I'm to make the whole world feel Like our people to stand there
The way we express ourself, they think we all some killers But look into the eyes of a ghetto influenced by the street Go to sleep to gunshots, wake up from the sirens of the See now my life ain't been the nigga, life as a thug
If I had to a picture of my life I have to my picture in blood Closest homie died, before he die little told me this Get you something cemeteries Packed of niggas who had dreams to be rich
So your head up, to all my ghetto children it was hard To my family one day I was gonna grow up to make millions When I told them, they seemed to laugh at my so called I to scream when I came home from jail
