Born In The Ghetto (edited album version) - Fat Joe (肥仔乔)[00:00:00]
Yeah it's time baby[00:00:02]
It's time to speak the truth maturity[00:00:06]
Huh niggas gotta evolve to let niggas know the real[00:00:10]
Ya call yourself real [00:00:13]
Ya gotta start speakin about the real[00:00:14]
This is Joe Crack The Don [00:00:16]
And this is what I'm bringin to you[00:00:18]
Uh yo nowadays I'm flirtin with uncertain death[00:00:20]
Lord I gotta be dyin cause after all this cryin [00:00:24]
How much more hurtin's left [00:00:26]
When will the pain stop [00:00:28]
This depression and anxiety [00:00:29]
Is gonna make me show another side of me[00:00:30]
My niggas ride with me cause I'm the truth[00:00:33]
There's benefits to rollin with this clique [00:00:36]
Don't nobody f**k with you[00:00:38]
Still they label me a tyrant and a backstabber[00:00:39]
But study the facts of crack [00:00:42]
The sh*t don't add up[00:00:43]
I'm bringin opportunity to my community[00:00:45]
Probably the only rapper that cares [00:00:47]
But still you out to ruin me[00:00:49]
Who you foolin B I'm for unity [00:00:50]
Latins and blacks[00:00:53]
Could you fathom the strength [00:00:53]
We have of the two it attach[00:00:55]
Born together voted alike[00:00:57]
These uncle charm politicians ain't holdin us right[00:00:58]
How could the same ni**a be 20 years in office[00:01:01]
When it's clear the only thing[00:01:04]
That's risin is unemployment[00:01:05]
Abortion little kids havin kids[00:01:07]
The school system is failing us [00:01:09]
Now ain't that some sh*t[00:01:11]
While the rich keep gettin richer [00:01:12]
The poor keep dyin young[00:01:14]
I can't hide no more the time has come[00:01:15]
I was born in the ghetto[00:01:18]
Tremblin tryin' a stay alive[00:01:24]
Cause when you're born in the ghetto[00:01:29]
No one seems to hear your cry[00:01:35]
Brown skin [00:01:40]
You know I love my bra-ha-own skin[00:01:42]
Everyday I'm confronted with racism[00:01:44]
These motherf**kin coppers [00:01:47]
Wanna bag us and have us shackled up in state prisons[00:01:48]
After all the taxes I pay[00:01:51]
You would think when they stop us [00:01:53]
They would have something nicer to say[00:01:55]
Than "get the f**k out the car where the drugs at[00:01:57]
All the jewelry you wearin where the f**kin guns at[00:01:59]
Once they search the car clean and find nothin[00:02:02]
The same crooked cops try to act[00:02:05]
Like they know us or somethin[00:02:07]
Laughin tellin jokes by the thousands[00:02:08]
Two seconds ago they tried to[00:02:10]
Send us to the mountains[00:02:12]
Leave my son without a father [00:02:13]
My wife without a husband[00:02:15]
The more I think about it [00:02:16]
Man it's just disgusting[00:02:18]
Still we live amongst 'em [00:02:19]
Everybody wants out[00:02:20]
That's why we rap like we got[00:02:21]
Silver spoons in our mouths[00:02:23]
Like we ain't grow up on welfare[00:02:25]
Ni**a don't even go there [00:02:27]
You probably wore Pro Players[00:02:28]
We need to educate the youth [00:02:30]
Tell our seeds the truth[00:02:32]
Too much to share [00:02:33]
The bare minimum will exceed the proof[00:02:34]
I was born in the ghetto[00:02:36]
Tremblin tryin' a stay alive[00:02:41]
Cause when you're born in the ghetto[00:02:46]
No one seems to hear your cry[00:02:52]
Oh yeah so much pain[00:03:00]
Tryin hard to stay alive stay alive[00:03:07]
Out in these streets oooh harmonizing[00:03:14]
Man sometimes in can get so tough[00:03:23]
Oh yeah yes it can[00:03:28]
Yes it can yeah[00:03:33]
It can get so hard so hard so hard[00:03:39]
