Tupac - I Wonder If Heaven Got A Ghetto Lyrics

[Chorus: I wonder if heaven got a ghetto (4X)]

I was raised, the
little young nigga doin bad shit
Talk much shit cause I never had shit
I
could remember being whupped in class
And if I didn't pass mama whupped my
ass
Was it my fault papa didn't plan it out
Broke out left me to be the
man of the house
I couldn't take it, had to make a profit
Down the block,
got a glock, and I clock grip
Makin G's was my mission
Movin enough of
this shit to get my mama out the kitchen and
why must I sock a fella, just to
live large like Rockefeller
First you didn't give a f*ck, but you're learnin
now
If you don't respect the town then we'll burn you down
God damn it's a
motherf*ckin riot
Black people only hate police so don't try it
If you're
not from the town then don't pass through
Cause some O.G. fools might blast
you
It ain't right but it's long overdue
We can't have peace til the
niggaz get a piece too
I want G's so you label me a criminal
And if I die,
I wonder if heaven got a ghetto

[Chorus]

[Verse Two:
Tupac]

Here on Earth, tell me what's a blick life worth
A bottle of
juice is no excuse, the truth hurts
And even when you take the shit
Move
counties get a lawyer you can shake the shit
Ask Rodney, LaTasha, and many
more
It's been goin on for years, there's plenty more
When they ask me,
when will the violence cease?
When your troops stop shootin niggaz down in
the street
Niggaz had enough time to make a difference
Bear witness, own
our own business
Word to God cause it's hard tryin to make ends meet
First
we couldn't afford shit now everything's free
so we loot, please don't shoot
when you see
I'm takin from the, cause for years they would take it from
me
Now the tables have turned around
You didn't listen, until the niggaz
burned it down
And now Bush can't stop the hit
Predicted the shit, in
Tupacalypse
And for once I was down with niggaz, felt good
in the hood bein
around the niggaz, yeah
And for the first time everybody let go
And the
streets is death row, I wonder if heaven got a
ghetto

[Chorus]

[Verse Three: Tupac]

I see no
changes, all I see is racist faces
Misplaced hate makes disgrace to
races
We under I wonder what it take to make this 
one better place, let's
erase the wait state
Take the evil out the people they'll be acting
right
Cause both black and white are smokin crack tonight
And only time we
deal is when we kill each other
It takes skill to be real, time to heal each
other
And though it seems heaven-sent
We ain't ready, to have a black
President, huh
It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact
The penitentiary's
packed, and it's filled with blacks
I wake up in the morning and I ask
myself
Is life worth living should I blast myself
I'm tired of being poor
and even worse I'm black
My stomach hurts so I'm lookin for a purse to
snatch
Cops give a damn about a ne-gro
Pull a trigger kill a nigger he's a
hero
Mo' nigga mo' nigga mo' niggaz
I'd rather be dead than a po'
nigga
Let the Lord judge the criminals
If I die, I wonder if heaven got a
ghetto

[Chorus (to :27 from fade)]

Just think, if niggaz
decide to retaliate
(Soldier in the house)
I wonder if heaven got a ghetto
[4X to fade]
