I Live in the Ghetto

[Chorus]
I know I live in the ghetto
I know I'm hopeless, so what though?
Y'all look at me like an outcast
One day I'll die from the gun blast
I know I live in the ghetto
I know I'm hopeless, so what though?
Y'all look at me like an outcast
One day I'll die from the gun blast

[Bridge 1]
You don't know me (You don't know me)
Y'all niggas don't know me, homie
Y'all don't know me (You don't know me)
Y'all better leave me alone
You don't know me (You don't know me)
Y'all niggas don't know me, homie
Y'all don't know me (Y'all don't know me)
Y'all better leave me alone

[Bridge 2]
He was a young boy, always into somethin' (Into somethin')
He was a young boy, always into somethin' (Into somethin')
He was a young boy, always into somethin' (Into somethin')
Out there headfirst and never stuntin'

[Verse 1]
Age of 14, I was on the grind hustlin'
Tryin' to get mine and I was steady buckin'
I was in juvenile court fussin' at the judge
I had a grudge; she gave me ten years and I ain't budge
It's real where I'm from, and where I'm from
People get dumb, I got hit with the drum
But it's all good, I'ma bounce back like baking soda
Next year I'ma take over

[Chorus]
I know I live in the ghetto
I know I'm hopeless, so what though?
Y'all look at me like an outcast
One day I'll die from the gun blast
I know I live in the ghetto
I know I'm hopeless, so what though?
Y'all look at me like an outcast
One day I'll die from the gun blast

[Bridge 1]
You don't know me (You don't know me)
Y'all niggas don't know me, homie
Y'all don't know me (Y'all don't know me)
Y'all better leave me alone
You don't know me (You don't know me)
Y'all niggas don't know me, homie
Y'all don't know me (Y'all don't know me)
Y'all better leave me alone

[Bridge 2]
He was a young boy, always into somethin' (Into somethin')
He was a young boy, always into somethin' (Into somethin')
He was a young boy, always into somethin' (Into somethin')
Out there headfirst and never stuntin'

[Verse 2]
Mama, where you was when I needed you?
When I needed you to be there and be TRU?
'Cause Papa wasn't home, he wasn't there
Nothin' wasn't the same, I had to get some change
I had it in my brain to maintain
And do what I had to do, I was just a kid
I had to go out there headfirst
Man, I might wind up in a hearse
But it's cool
I'm a fool, smokin' Kools
I was rude, couldn't do shit in school
I tote a tool, man, I was 'bout that there
You was out that there, and I walk that there
I know I live in the ghetto (Damn!)
Man, I don't give a fuck, I'm mellow
Give me a 40, watch me get drunk and fucked up
And if their luck up, watch me buck up

[Chorus]
I know I live in the ghetto
I know I'm hopeless, so what though?
Y'all look at me like an outcast
One day I'll die from the gun blast
I know I live in the ghetto
I know I'm hopeless, so what though?
Y'all look at me like an outcast
One day I'll die from the gun blast

[Bridge 1]
You don't know me (You don't know me)
Y'all don't know me, homie
Y'all don't know me (Y'all don't know me)
Y'all better leave me alone
You don't know me (You don't know me)
Y'all niggas don't know me, homie
Y'all don't know me (Y'all don't know me)
Y'all better leave me alone

[Bridge 2]
He was a young boy, always into somethin' (Into somethin')
He was a young boy, always into somethin' (Into somethin')
He was a young boy, always into somethin' (Into somethin')
Out there headfirst and never stuntin'

[Verse 3]
CP3 G's
Had them bitches on their knees, I'm stackin' G's
I'm the man in my city
I'm drinkin' liquor off a bitch's titty, and it's a pity
Go to the motherfuckin' stores, I buy
Whatever I want, I got Girbauds
When I die, bury me in [?]
Because they riders
We riders (Throw 'em up and run with it)
We riders (If you ride, come and get it, boy)
We riders (Throw 'em up and come with it)
We riders (Throw 'em up and come get it, boy)
I'm a boss, buck it up and throw it up, boy
I'm a boss, buck it up and throw it up, boy
I'm a boss, buck it up and throw it up, boy
I'm a boss with the [?] game
Where they at?

[Chorus]
I know I live in the ghetto
I know I'm hopeless, so what though?
Y'all look at me like an outcast
One day I'll die from the gun blast
I know I live in the ghetto (Ghetto)
I know I'm hopeless, so what though? (So what, though)
Y'all look at me like an outcast (I'm an outcast)
One day I'll die from the gun blast
(fade to end)
