Welcome to the ghetto
Livin' day by day in my hood on the spot
See the same old things, same dope fiends, cops
Just an average day in the streets, California
Five-O find a young girl dead 'round the corner
Mommy's on her knees, she had tears in her eyes
And nobody knew why the young girl had to die
People look ashamed, it's been like this for years
Bloody sheets on her body, face wet from her mama's tears
She couldn't have been over four or five
And if mommy wasn't based, she would still be alive
But now the street is a place, you could be swallowed by death
Brothers takin' each other's lives and goin' to rest in peace
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
My cousin died last year and I still can't let go
I walk the streets of my city, of my neighborhood
Seein' dope fiends livin' off canned goods
Fifteen niggas on the corner
And niggas die young in California
Five-O will get a dope case and flaunt it
Have your ass on "America's Most Wanted"
But I don't slang or even gangbang
Although my old school homies do the same thang
I still got love 'cause you gotta live
So you can give and raise a family, G
But you gotta do your best slangin' D-O-P-E
So keep a grip on yourself and stay mellow
And welcome to the ghetto
I wanna holler the way they do my life
Welcome to the ghetto
I wanna holler the way they do my life
Welcome to the ghetto
I wanna holler the way they do my life
Welcome to the ghetto
I wanna holler the way they do my life
Welcome to the ghetto
From across the seas comes cocaine
But you never seen a black man fly the plane
Look at the news, a young black death
Was it drug-related? Take a guess
I flash when I look in the mirror, black
'Cause my reflection is a nine millimeter gat
I think about genocide
And have thoughts on my homies who died
Everybody backstabbin'
But I ain't the one to talk, I'm in a gaffle
Death give a shit about your color
But yet I see more dead young brothers
I'm goin' crazy out here
Seein' twenty-four brothers die by the end of the year
And I still gotta deal with the Five-O
And I stopped sellin' dope in nine-oh
But if it came to it, I'd probably still do it
Put a nine in my drawers, get straight to it
I hope that I never see the day
That I get twenty years for a cake
B.K.A. as a king
To open up the door for the more money
But I ain't gotta do that, G
'Cause I'm down with the F-A to the C
To the U to the L-T-Y
G-Nut extra large and S-P-I
C-E, makin' niggas feel like Jell-O
And welcome to the ghetto
I wanna holler the way they do my life
Welcome to the ghetto
I wanna holler the way they do my life
Welcome to the ghetto
I wanna holler the way they do my life
Welcome to the ghetto
I wanna holler the way they do my life
Welcome to the ghetto
Ain't no justice, it's just us
And every nigga with the guts lust to bust
At the police, niggas can't get peace
Sendin' troops to the ghetto like the Middle East
My homie on the block got beat down
And he never sold an ounce, a key, a pound
Suicide was a notion
Sometimes I wanna run and dive in the ocean
But killin' myself ain't the answer
'Cause the problems of the world need a cure like cancer
And everybody see the problem but the president
And he ain't livin' in the ghetto, so that's evident
I quit pullin' over, fuck the police
'Cause they beat Rodney King like a savage beat
Now motherfuckers on my block think it's Glock time
Open up season on cop time
So welcome to the ghetto
Where niggas try to play your ass like a cello
The mayor got the projects boarded up
And the whites and the blacks all sorted up
My people livin' in poverty
And every time I wanna max, I'm on a motherfucker property
Make me wanna get the gat, too, and peel a cap, too
I gives a fuck about the tattoo, tears
Spendin' years in a P-E-N
Cop dead, gone with the wind
Fuck love in the ghetto, see
One-eighty-seven thousand, G
I wanna holler the way they do my life
Welcome to the ghetto
I wanna holler the way they do my life
Welcome to the ghetto
I wanna holler the way they do my life
Welcome to the ghetto
I wanna holler the way they do my life
Welcome to the ghetto
