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
5-0 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 mommy's tears
She couldn't have been over 4 or 5
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 it go
I walk the streets of my city and my neighborhood
Seein' dope fiends livin' off canned goods
Fifteen brothers on the corner
And brothers die young in California
5-0 Will get a dope case and flaunt it
Have you on America's Most Wanted
But I don't slang or even gangbang
And though 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
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Welcome to the ghetto
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Welcome to the ghetto
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Welcome to the ghetto
Make me 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 into gafflin'
Death don't care about your color
But yet I see more dead young brothers
I'm goin' crazy out here
Seein' 24 brothers die by the end of the year
And I still gotta deal with the 5-0
And I stopped sellin' dope in 9-0
But if it came to it, I'd probably still do it
Put a Glock in my drawers, get straight to it
I hope that I never see the day
That I get 20 years for a K
B-K-A as a key
To open up the door for the mo' 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 Xtra Large and S-P-I-
C-E in the house, my fella
And welcome to the ghetto
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Welcome to the ghetto
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Welcome to the ghetto
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Welcome to the ghetto
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Welcome to the ghetto
Ain't no justice, it's just us
And every brother with the guts lust to bust
At the police cause we 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 ki', or pound
Suicide was the 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
But he ain't livin' in the ghetto so it's evident
I quit pullin' over for the police
Cause they beat Rodney King like a savage beast
Now my brothers on the block think it's Glock time
Open up season on cop time
So welcome to the ghetto
Where you can straight get played out like a cello
The mayor got the projects boarded up
And the whites and the blacks are sorted up
My people livin' in poverty
And every time I wanna max I'm on somebody's property
Make me wanna get the gat too
And peel a cap too
But I ain't down for the tattoo
Tears, spendin' years in a P-E-N
And I'm just another brother in the wind
No love in the ghetto, see
187 Thousand, G
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Welcome to the ghetto
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Welcome to the ghetto
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Welcome to the ghetto
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Welcome to the ghetto
