See what a lot of people don't understand we living in ghetto air
I Mean I'm tire wearing rest in peace shirts
Now its da time
For you to stand up (stand up)
My people you had wait for a long enough (long enough)
If ghetto air is all you breathe
Tell me how can you ever succeed (ever succeed)
If death be ah dish, we all eating from da plate
Breathe in this air, suffocate from da hate
Cops at da gate, fall potna turn state, potnas killing potnas
Different bullets in his face, Cops can't trace, but da hood know da Case
3 glocks in ya hood, n****s lied to ya face, you thought dem n****s Love ya, N****a lied to ya face
You thought dat hoe love ya, b***h lied to ya face
Sleepin with ah snake, makes way for disgrace, never lied bout da Truth, rather live what we say
Cops caught a line, they was fishing you was bait
Leave it for debate, think about da stakes
Chances you can take, money we can make, places we can go
Some will never know, heartbeat beatin fast
Ghetto air dat dive(die) slow, breathe slow, slow
Now its da time
For you to stand up (stand up)
My people you had wait for a long enough (long enough)
If ghetto air is all you breathe
Tell me how can you ever succeed (ever succeed)
Black diamonds survive through da pressure
Why they oppress us, da press should address us
Reflect for da record, its chess not checkers
Its just not lectures its just dat life, brought us everything dat we Seen
How do you fix a broken dream, with broken fragments of da scenes
N you caught up in between
Da have and da have nots, to have is to have knots
Da grave where it all stops, da picture was saw crop
Opportunity dense, society goes against, everything dat you love
I call it building a fence, we need to build ah defense
Tunnel vision is strength, War we tryna prevent, so what you tryna to Present
Everything dat is hate, we all tryna to escape, everything dat is love
We all tryna to embrace
We all tryna be safe, we all tryna to relate
We all tryna to be great, we all tryna to escape
Ghetto
Now its da time
For you to stand up (stand up)
My people you had wait for a long enough (long enough)
If ghetto air is all you breathe
Tell me how can you ever succeed (ever succeed)
Now its da time
For you to stand up (stand up)
My people you had wait for a long enough (long enough)
If ghetto air is all you breathe
Tell me how can you ever succeed (ever succeed)
