Cradled in the womb of the metropolis dodging hell swarm[00:00:17]
Vision of going to heaven nothing can stop this[00:00:22]
Although I'm optimistic balance it with being realistic[00:00:25]
Is paradise is part of the plan or scribbled in some book and sh*t[00:00:27]
It all goes down as rain drops on my neighborhood[00:00:30]
Love my hood and motherf**ker this ain't good[00:00:33]
Crack heads selling d**e to d**e heads[00:00:36]
On blocks that's rented by house n***az[00:00:37]
That's all getting rich off of the bloodshed[00:00:39]
And as I experience none the lesser[00:00:41]
And it's high and it's high as I got off of the reefers[00:00:43]
The balance levels of horror yo ain't never disappear[00:00:46]
I know you know[00:00:49]
It's like we livin' in hell in the ghetto[00:00:52]
I know you know[00:00:54]
Babies is dying in the ghetto[00:00:57]
I know you know[00:00:59]
Mothers are crying in the ghetto[00:01:02]

It's like we livin' in hell in the ghetto[00:01:07]
I know you know[00:01:10]
Like that like that like that[00:01:15]
I put the pedal to the metal heavy metal in the ghetto[00:01:17]
I ain't got to raise it cause hell is the grimy ghetto[00:01:19]
I guess that's the catalyst for so many fantasies[00:01:22]
We can fantasize and happen to be surrounded by misery[00:01:24]
The daughters and sisters the little bitties[00:01:27]
Princess inside ya beautiful[00:01:29]
But mommy can't afford the sparkles and dresses[00:01:31]
As a matter of fact kids around here[00:01:33]
Need to be walking with a vest on[00:01:35]
'Cause the quietest streets around here can be a war zone[00:01:37]
And I'm in such disgust 'cause the police[00:01:39]
Instead of protectin' and serving they serving us[00:01:42]
They brutalizin' and battering as a matter of fact[00:01:44]
They play ghetto officers I see them laughing[00:01:47]
Trynna pick up girls in uniform[00:01:49]
Hanging out them college dorms we need some inform[00:01:51]
Why is he a ghetto 'Cause society divided by nothing but money hello[00:01:54]
I know you know[00:02:00]

It's like we livin' in hell in the ghetto[00:02:17]
I know you know[00:02:20]
Like that like that like that[00:02:23]
From city to city all over the globe[00:02:28]
So many poverty stricken lives the facts'll make ya heads explode[00:02:30]
Cities and families all over global overload[00:02:33]
From Brownsville to Russia through Somalia through Croatia[00:02:35]
Lyrics are live fight to survive it's a horror ride[00:02:38]
Demons coming for your hide but there's no where to run[00:02:40]
Straight up and there's no where to hide[00:02:43]
Guess what 'cause negative situation is winning by a landslide[00:02:45]
And if you living this life there's the worst schools[00:02:48]
And the worst doctors guess what Society got ya[00:02:50]
