You how the fuck we do it It's thug Y'all me? C'mon,
Hey... Once upon a time in the you're stuck In the you're fucked Ah - press your I said once upon a in the ghetto through Once a time in the ghetto like you
it out
(verse 1) My life has been like gun blast night Stop the car, searched down a flashlight "where's the where's the dope? " The drive-by week they try to pin, there's no hope I wasn't the victim, better yet the suspect Waitin to run a warrant "what set you from? what side of Nigga like you must be to get down" Hold up now, cause I start to my mind I question the place of the ride and what "speak your mind one more time, through" They found a bullet that I stashed in my Fuck, now they tear up the car Try to lock me in a that's as tight as a jar But that's the way it's goin' down, the story's told Tomorrow might be the same
Chorus...
Once upon a time n' the ghetto through Once upon a n' the ghetto I'm like you upon a time n' the ghetto you're stuck In the ghetto you're Ah - press luck I said...
(verse 2) Y'all can me, see how gangstas walk Real killas spit the strap and don't Set trip, at night, we stalk Yellow tape, outlined in the chalk I keeps my close Last night a life straight turn to ghost My position is to roll through Keeps watch on the one down the block You hear the click the bang-bang, then you stop Try to run, but the chest burn you drop My and criminals through hard time I for y'all niggas, pop goes my nine I do the crime, the is mine Look around the clockwork, it ain't to find Any block, ward or burrough, you know I speak Your clients all the street if yo' product is weak
Chorus...
(verse 3) Y'all fools come up short on the work and try to us Cold niggas, cold-ass world, the heaters Burn you bitch-ass niggas, you beat us Another life lost, you never defeat us Gun smoke's the outcome I down, never that, nickel slick Try to a nigga for dollars, "holla holla" Is the sound you make for cuttin' off the cake Fake niggas, I yo' face, niggas Seal your fate, no safety on the Ditches for the bodies I dump I dig Puttin mo' dick to ya dirk diggler Static cling, bust straps, you ring day, the sad songs to sing Nigga shoulda known by now mines now or charriots will swing
Chorus...
Hoo-bangin' one time, it out Hoo-bangin' two times, it out Compton one time, two times, bitch
