Lyrics

How do you raise your kids in the ghetto?
How do you raise your kids in the ghetto?
Feed one child and starve another
Tell me, tell me, legislator!

I was born and raised in the ghetto

Ghetto!

I was born and raised in the ghetto
I was born and raised in the ghetto
I was born and raised in the ghetto

let me tell you another story
on the block sippin 40’s
smoking like harleys
on that bob marley
shorty pulled out the shotty
and put one for the party
then another from the shotty
right into this kid’s body
and it fold like origami
must have been beef from way back
everyone on the block screaming
and running
then the kid’s mommy
came to look outside
to see her son’s body
in the street dying where he lies
she screams and cries
shorty jumped in his ride
and fly…
glide
away from the crime scene
tears clearing the mothers eyes like visine
the sun shining down like high beams
melting all the ice cream

I was born and raised in the ghetto

Ghetto!

I was born and raised in the ghetto
I was born and raised in the ghetto
I was born and raised in the ghetto

where we got love for hip hop
big dreams to be biggie
or pac and make them thangs pop
graffiti murals on walls
of all the family that took a fall
doing it in the park
hip hop is an art
drop the needle and let the deejay start
bboys and bgirls make noise
hip hop gives hope and a voice
and another choice
but for now gotta slang that dope dogg
with the clip ready to let the 44 off
like a real nigga role call
make sure ready to be sold off
gotta work
hold on and prolong
stay strong, keep your head up, get your swerve on
man up and step up
get the cash up
and rep up

I was born and raised in the ghetto

Ghetto!

I was born and raised in the ghetto
I was born and raised in the ghetto
I was born and raised in the ghetto

ghetto child ultra intelligent
a prodigy in the sciences of the elements
probably get a scholarship
ivy league colleges
but its hard to acknowledge this
when you born and raised in the ghetto
its a war and the ways in the ghetto
whats the score
in the game of the ghetto
it pours
when it rains in the ghetto
hey you can make it
there’s opportunity
its a hard knock life
you can better the community
just true to be
and keep on pushing
you could be
the man who cures cancer
look and work hard
you’ll find the answer
make the ill moves
like a break dancer
gifted universal rhymes unlimited
its a wrap up

I was born and raised in the ghetto

Ghetto!

I was born and raised in the ghetto
I was born and raised in the ghetto
I was born and raised in the ghetto
