The World Is a Ghetto

Lyrics

Chorus (flaj)
 What we see [what we see] everyday [everyday]
 Livin' in the ghetto this is where I stay
 [what we do] what we do [to get by] to get by
 Live or die, the world is a ghetto
 (scarface)
 Lets take a journey to the other side
 Where many people learn to live with their handicaps
 While others die
 Where muthaf**kas had no money spots
 And if they did then they ass went insane
 When all the money stops
 I'm from the ghetto so I'm used to that
 Look on your muthaf**kin map and find texas
 And see where houston at
 Its on the borderline of hard times
 And it's seldom that your hear niggas breakin' and givin' God time
 That's why your ass (?) and pray for me
 Because I know that even I got to die
 And he got a day for me
 And every morning I wake up I'm kinda glad to be alive
 Cause thousands of my homeboys died
 And very few died of old age
 In most cases the incident covered up the whole page
 From amsterdam to amarillo
 It ain't no secret
 The world is a ghetto
 Chorus (flaj)
 (bushwick bill)
 Five hundred niggas died in guerilla warfare
 In a village in africa, but didn't nobody care
 They just called up the goddamn gravedigga
 And said come get these muthaf**kin niggas
 Just like they do in the 5th ward
 In the south park and the bronx and the watts
 You know they got crooked cops
 Working for the system
 Makin' po muthaf**kas out of victims
 Don't nobody give a f**k about the po
 It's double jeopardy if your black or latino
 They got muthaf**kin drugs in the slums
 Got us killing one another over crumbs
 Think I'm lying? well muthaf**ka I got proof
 Name a section in your city where minorities group
 And i'ma show you prostitutes, dope and hard times
 And a murder rate that never declines
 And little babies sittin on the porch smellin' smelly
 Cryin cause they ain't got no food in they bellies
 They call my neighbourhood a jungle
 And me an animal, like they do the people in rawanda
 Fools fleeing their countries to come here black
 But see the same bullshit and head right back
 They find out what others already know
 The world is a ghetto
 (willie d)
 What's up outta towner? southern nigga downer
 I wish you would bring your muthaf**kin ass around here
 With that hip shit shit from your block
 You f**k around and get shipped back home to ya momma in a pine box
 Cause we don't play that shit in 5th ward
 We got killas and hustlas and playas to so nigga disregard
 What your seeing on them western movies
 Cause yo! I ain't never rode a horse before
 Ho, think we slow? smash the gas
 And watch how fast I'll put these hands on yo' bitch ass
 Try to load them dice, you'll meet the gravedigga
 Cause game recognize game scheisty ass nigga
 See I done seen fools die for less
 Than a goddamn cigarette butt, for f**kin' wit my set
 So get that frown off your face busta
 Cause you ghetto ain't no harder than mine
 Muthaf**ka
 Chorus (flaj)
