Ghetto Ride - Dirty[00:00:00]
Now when I was born I wasn't warned of all the harm that I would[00:00:27]
See[00:00:29]
Been harassed by the police seein' my peeps gettin' killed in the streets[00:00:30]
Most don't have no food to eat and most don't have no place to sleep[00:00:34]
Is this how it's 'posed to be livin' our life uncomfortably now[00:00:37]
Somebody better give me some answers if they don't want no beef to start[00:00:41]
Because I'll draw down on your preacher and make him get in contact with god[00:00:44]
And ask the man why the times so hard why do my people struggle[00:00:48]
Why do my people suffer and why do we hate each other[00:00:51]
And can't you see how corrupt this land here really is[00:00:54]
Can't you see them ghetto tears my folks been cryin' for years[00:00:57]
A lot of ones don' went astray a lot of ones confused to say[00:01:01]
But a lot of us pray hopin' that you'll come down here and get us[00:01:04]
One day[00:01:07]
And get us off this evil place so you can teach us right[00:01:08]
We've been deceived by the beast that's why we been so blind[00:01:11]
So lord I take this time to tell you how I feel[00:01:15]
And I hope you hear me come and get your son up out of here[00:01:18]
Let me take you on a ghetto ride[00:01:22]
Through this crooked world[00:01:30]
Wash the pain and tears from the eyes[00:01:36]
Of the boys and girls[00:01:43]
Well I can remember comin' home one day and all our furniture was gone[00:01:47]
My mama cryin' cause all we got is the clothes we had on[00:01:51]
My mama was strong she wipe her eyes and picked up the phone[00:01:55]
My grandma stayed right down the street so she made that my home[00:01:58]
I love my grandma mms burnet and her first name Louise[00:02:01]
She raised me for some years till my mama got on her feet[00:02:05]
It was a house full bout twelve folk everyday tryin' to eat[00:02:08]
Can you imagine the youngest two was just me and me g[00:02:12]
Hell we stayed fed off instant grits and gravy[00:02:15]
Her whittlings and pig ears was so good they make you want to Bankhead[00:02:18]
Now tell me that you think that my life would have been so tainted[00:02:21]
If my dad was there because he ain't dead[00:02:24]
It's some I wanna tell but I can't say it[00:02:26]
Why cause the radio want play it[00:02:28]
At the age of nine I was a dank head[00:02:30]
Coc*ine in my hand tryin' to make bread[00:02:32]
I gotta nine in my hand so I ain't scared[00:02:33]
Hit the block everyday seein' blood shed[00:02:35]
But that's the price you gotta pay to keep your folks fed[00:02:36]
Woo for real jump in the drop top coupe Deville and just[00:02:39]
Let me take you on a ghetto ride[00:02:43]
Through this crooked world[00:02:51]
Wash the pain and tears from the eyes[00:02:57]
Of the boys and girls[00:03:05]
So many days of so much pain got me thinking 'bout blowin' my brains[00:03:09]
How can I change who will explain[00:03:12]
How to maintain while trapped in this game[00:03:14]
Stackin' my mailin' off crack sellin' me and my family gotta eat[00:03:16]
I knew I was wrong for skeetin' them stops[00:03:19]
But it kept the house with light and heat[00:03:21]
Kept some shoes up on our feet kept our stomachs off of 'e'[00:03:23]
Now who can you judge you can't hold a grudge[00:03:26]
I did this more than just for me[00:03:28]
I did this more than just for keeps I did this more for those in[00:03:30]
The streets[00:03:32]
So if you feel my troubles want you come and role with me[00:03:33]
OK the ni**a who kill my boy Willie only get fifteen years[00:03:36]
But you know that time get split so he'll do about seven yours[00:03:40]
How crooked the system is for good behavior he'll probably do just three[00:03:43]
So in actuality this ni**a here don' kill my boy for free[00:03:46]
I'm tryin' to understand the plan the lord got for you and me[00:03:50]
How the good die aw so young and the bad live long to eat[00:03:53]
My body and soul might be so clean but the hood got my ways so[00:03:56]
Dirty[00:04:00]
I'm up early on my knees beggin' this world not to hurt me[00:04:00]
And that's for real[00:04:03]
Let me take you on a ghetto ride[00:04:04]
Through this crooked world[00:04:12]
Wash the pain and tears from the eyes[00:04:18]
Of the boys and girls[00:04:26]
