What we see (what we see) everyday (everyday)
Livin' in the ghetto this is where I stay
(What we do) what we do (to get by) to get by
Live or die, the world is a ghetto
Let's take a journey to the other side
Where many people learn to live with their handicaps, while the others die
Where muthaf*ckas had no money spots
And if they did then they ass went insane
When all the money stops
I'm from the ghetto so I'm used to that
Look on your muthaf*ckin map and find Texas, and see where Houston at
It's on the borderline of hard times
And it's seldom that you hear niggas prayin' and givin' God time
That's why your ask my mom pray for me
Because I know that even I gots to die, and he got a day for me
And every morning I wake up I'm kinda glad to be alive
'Cause thousands of my homeboys died
And very few died of old age
In most cases the incident covered up the whole page
From Amsterdam to Amarillo
It ain't no secret
The world is a ghetto
What we see (what we see) everyday (everyday)
Livin' in the ghetto this is where I stay
(What we do) what we do (to get by) to get by
Live or die, the world is a ghetto
Five hundred niggas died in guerilla warfare
In a village in Africa, but didn't nobody care
They just called up the goddamn gravedigger
And said come get these muthaf*ckin' niggas
Just like they do in the 5th Ward
In the South Park and The Bronx and the Watts
You know they got crooked cops
Working for the system
Makin' po' muthaf*ckas out of victims
'Cause don't nobody give a f*ck about the po'
It's double jeopardy if you're black or latino
They got their muthaf*ckin' drugs in the slums
Got us killing one another over crumbs
Think I'm lying? Well muthaf*cka I got proof
Name a section in your city where minorities group
And I'mma show you prostitutes, dope and hard times
And a murder rate that never declines
And little babies sittin' on the porch smellin' smelly
Cryin' 'cause they ain't got no food in they bellies
They call my neighborhood a jungle
And me an animal, like they do the people of Rwanda
Fools fleeing their countries to come here, black
But see the same bullshit and head right back
They find out what niggas already know
The world is a ghetto
What's up outta towner? Southern nigga downer?
I wish you would bring your muthaf*ckin' ass around here
With that hip shit shit from your block
You f*ck around and get shipped home to ya momma in a pine box
'Cause we don't play that shit in 5th Ward
We got killas and hustlas, and playas too, so nigga disregard
What you seeing on them western movies
'Cause yo! I ain't never rode a horse before
Ho, think we slow? Smash the gas
And watch how fast I'll put these hands on yo' bitch ass
Try to load them dice, you'll meet the gravedigger
'Cause game recognize game, shiesty ass nigga
See I done seen fools die for less
Than a goddamn cigarette butt, for f*ckin' wit my set
So get that frown off your face busta
'Cause yo' ghetto ain't no harder than mine, muthaf*cka
What we see (what we see) everyday (everyday)
Livin' in the ghetto this is where I stay
(What we do) what we do (to get by) to get by
Live or die, the world is a ghetto
