In The Ghetto

Yo, yo
See I come from where they set them curfews right before the dark
Boy don't go inside that park if you really know what's sharp
Stainless steels and pots and pans them hammers sound just like a harp
They ain't know that I would stay afloat and man into a shark
Welcome to my side of arc we got jiggas we got narcs
Borderlines where we depart
Iron man no Tony Stark
Supermarket right across the street to me that's kinda far
I'm just writing out these stories like I stood inside the bars
Every nigga from the ghetto got a saga and a part
Ain't no ambulance around we use a shower for the scars
Handyman I got the loud you got a problem then we spark
Light the KD let them guard every shooter think they God
Every bitch done caught up with a gangsta claimed he had no heart
Couple solid niggas really cotton soft when times is hard
In the hood we all the same the only difference is the card
Baby soldiers in the field we been enlisted from the start

In the ghetto
Of New York City
It's a dog eat dog world
Bad mind from the yutes dem I can see it in ya heart
In the ghetto
Of New York City
It's a dog eat dog world
Bad mind from the yutes dem I can see it in ya heart

Blood be dropping from my eyes
I cry the tears of Jesus Christ
Cause I done seen too many Judas in this concrete jungle I call it
New York City
Just know the streets will take your life
Through jealousy and envy
Greed and police goes hand in hand
They ain't the only one we fear
We fear our neighbors and our leaders
Placing the drugs within our reaches
Really, what can they teach us
I see you feening for that next hit
Killed a mother for that bullshit
Now you leaving a baby crying
Lost alone without a place to call her own
But no regrets
When ya skin gets a touch of the needle, you reach ya high
While ya counterpart is laying on the lows
You made a victim from your sistren now the vicious cycle starts
What falls apart you lose ya heart
Just know ya karma slowly come (Doot, doot, doot, doot)
Police is bussing on our innocence
We say they guilty but they innocent
Look at Zimmerman, as the prime example for the ignorance
This killing trend has a group of people stay diminishing

In the ghetto
Of New York City
It's a dog eat dog world
Bad mind from the yutes dem I can see it in ya heart
In the ghetto
Of New York City
It's a dog eat dog world
Bad mind from the yutes dem I can see it in ya heart
In the ghetto
Of New York City
It's a dog eat dog world
Bad mind from the yutes dem I can see it in ya heart

Bad mind from the yutes dem I can see it in ya heart
Bad mind from the yutes dem I can see it in ya heart
Bad mind from the yutes dem I can see it in ya heart
Bad mind, bad mind from the yutes dem I can see it in ya heart
Bad mind from the yutes dem I can see it in ya heart
