in your heart is where you wanna be My hood is the Even you look, it's never what you see My is the ghetto
I've been down before, up is a reach 'Cause my is the ghetto Catch a second wind, begin again My hood is the
Black magic in the hood, it's tragic but Crack addicts, crack windows, wood Even what's bad becomes good, becomes stood Upon the pedestal to the ghetto show
Federal buildings, pissy hallways filled with pushin' children Fiends lips peelin', seems real and What's real is the of mind that we're in The situation great
My man peels weight, so we can fill You get love but you still feel hate Through and chain plates, we Chicago to Brooklyn, niggas real do relate
If sold then truth be told I'll be just as rich and famous as Jay-Z I wanna rhyme like common sense Next thing I do a record with common sense
'Cause the music, the blues, it's the jazz, it's acoustics Soul, rock and roll, the hip hop we producin' yea the gear, it's the flare, it's the stare Nowadays they'll shoot you they used to shoot the fair
Remember the lost soldiers, a beer, shoot the air We got our own elected officials, no matter who the I know you know what I'm about, from New York to the South off your shoes when you walk in the house
Whatever's in your is where you wanna be My hood is the Even you look, it's never what you see My hood is the
I've been down before, up is a reach my hood is the ghetto Catch a wind, then begin again My is the ghetto
Yo, I grew up they're playin' skele in the parkin' lot And sell of Aaliyah, BIG and Pac up in the barbershop too big so you don't really see the stars a lot But rappin', drinkin', and goin' to prison you see them a lot
I feel the in the dark and hear it in my heart And always keep my ears to the block I dearly depart Hip hop is really the art, we have to express the part of make us want to martyr ourselves
It harder to tell when somebody stick you up And put the to you They want them dead presidents Stickman and Mutulu With a gun to jaw, these kids don't run anymore Kicks is a or more
A man in of the store, beggin' for money and mercy I told him say a prayer his breath, he cursed me Niggaz is thirsty, I it's a drought Up early, servin' from grandmother's house
the ghetto feels desolate The eyes of the hood, yo, is desperate, by the deficit Times and get hard, either get by or get God But you try to get by, like the block keep blockin'
You try to make moves, it's like the car just stoppin' We in the court, need Cochran, yea I tell them why the weed seeds poppin', in the you need options No time for feet watchin', me and Kwe rockin' for the ghetto
Whatever's in your heart is where you be My is the ghetto Even when you look, it's what you see My hood is the
I've been before, up is just a reach my hood is the ghetto Catch a wind, then begin again My hood is the
Whatever's in your heart is where you be My hood is the when you look, it's never what you see My is the ghetto
been down before, up is just a reach 'Cause my is the ghetto Catch a second wind, then begin My is the ghetto
It's the, it's like the is ghettos, ghettos 'round the world Be for the universe and the world, yea For me I feel like, you know I see I travel from city to city, to state Heavy rock gold and out, the hood You know I'm sayin' it's the ghetto show
