Hey... Once upon a in the ghetto you're stuck In the ghetto you're Ah - press your I once upon a time in the ghetto You're upon a time in the ghetto It's you
it out
(verse 1) My life has like gun blast every night the car, searched down with a flashlight "where's the where's the dope? " The drive-by week they try to pin, there's no hope Wishin' I wasn't the victim, yet the suspect to run a warrant check "what set you from? what side of like you must be ready to get down" Hold up now, cause I to speak my mind I question the place of the and what time "speak your mind one time, you're through" found a bullet that I stashed in my shoe Fuck, now they gon' up the car Try to me in a cell that's as tight as a jar But that's the way it's goin' down, the gang told Tomorrow might be the same
Chorus...
Once upon a time n' the ghetto through Once upon a time n' the ghetto I'm you Once upon a n' the ghetto you're stuck In the ghetto you're Ah - your luck I said...
(verse 2) Y'all can me, see how gangstas walk Real spit the strap and don't talk Set trip, at night, we stalk tape, bodies outlined in the chalk I keeps my close Last night seen a life turn to ghost My is to roll through round-the-clock watch on the one times down the block You hear the with the bang-bang, then you stop Try to run, but the burn makes you drop My comrads and criminals through hard I for y'all niggas, pop goes my nine I do the crime, the point is Look the clockwork, it ain't hard to find Any block, ward or burrough, you know what I clients all cross the street if yo' product is weak
Chorus...
(verse 3) Y'all fools up short on the work and try to cheat us niggas, cold-ass world, catch the heaters Burn you niggas, you can't beat us Another life lost, you never will us Gun smoke's the I predict Locked down, never that, nickel Try to cheat a for dollars, "holla holla" Is the that you make for cuttin' off the cake Fake niggas, I yo' face, niggas your fate, no safety on the triggers Ditches for the bodies I I dig bigger mo' dick to ya than dirk diggler Static cling, bust straps, you ring Funeral day, the sad to sing Nigga shoulda known by now mines now or charriots will swing
Chorus...
Hoo-bangin' one time, it out two times, check it out Compton one time, two times, bitch
