In The Ghetto

Living In The Ghetto, Coming Up Hard Core
Watching And Waiting, My Life Is A Bore
By My 13th Birthday I Had A Gun, Started Robbin & Stealing
AHH NOW MY LIFE HAS BEGUN.

Smoking blunts, Drinking 40's With The Crew
Hanging Out All Night, Tryin To Find Something To Do
Mommy, Daddy's Yelling And Screaming About The Things i Shouldn't Do
But He Shouldn't Be Talking Cuz He Does Them Too.

Had To Burn Somebody Today, Asked Him To Up His Game
He Said It Wasn't His Fault, But He Had No One To Blame
Then He Tried To Dis Me In Front Of His Man
But He Didn't Know I HAD THIS GUN IN MY HAND.

I Lifted My Hand Then Pulled The Trigger
Before He Hit The Ground, He Said:
YOU MUTHER FUCKIN NIGGER.

He Had A Look On His Face When He Hit The Ground
I Just Took His Wallet And Everything I Found
Guess i Did All Right, 150 Bucks In My Hand
Im Going To Get High Tonight And Buy Me Some New Vans.

Someones Yelling Frezze Or Ill Blow Your Head Right Off
I Looked Around, Droped The Gun, The Ground Felt So Soft
Read Me My Rights & Had Cuffed my hands Real Tight
Stayed At The 81st All Night And Found Out The Man Had Died Last Night.

Judge Hit Me With A Body Count, Told Me Life In The Joint Is What I Had
Now Doing Time Behind The Wall, So Alone, So Sad.

I Decided To Kill Or Be Killed To Keep Them From Talking Smack
Had To Cut And Stab To Keep Them Off, I Found A Family Who's Got My Back.

Now Im A Lifer
Jail Is My Home
I Grew Strong In Prison
And Im 26 Years Old.

I Thought My Life Had Just Begun
I Wish I Could Go Back In Time
To Fix All The Mistakes I Made
To Stop Me From Doing That Crime.

Just A Stupid Kid With A Gun In My Hand
Just Threw My Whole Life Away, Not A Man
Just A Number Is What I Am, No Face, No Name
Just A Bunch Of Stupid Numbers

TO SAY WHO AND WHAT I AM
