Ghetto Tears - Silkk The Shocker[00:00:00]
Dear God can ya save me[00:00:07]
If you can't save me save our babies[00:00:09]
I'm trying to keep it real[00:00:12]
So many ghetto tears my people cry[00:00:14]
My people cry life is hard and I see that every day[00:00:17]
Just so many ghetto tears[00:00:22]
In the ghetto[00:00:23]
Age 11 looking out of a ghetto building[00:00:25]
Mom and 5 of us little ghetto children[00:00:28]
I ain't never knew wrong from right[00:00:31]
Growing up off my life thinking adidas had 4 stripes[00:00:33]
So my uncle tried to warn us[00:00:37]
Told us not to do drugs but yesterday I saw him on it[00:00:39]
See in my hood it ain't no love[00:00:43]
Age 13 seen my auntie O D on drugs[00:00:45]
The neighborhood hoe only 15[00:00:49]
And everybody wants to bang her[00:00:51]
Found her dead gave herself[00:00:52]
And abortion with a clothes hanger[00:00:54]
I seen one of my neighbors try everything[00:00:55]
But couldn't make it[00:00:57]
Came home one day killed his whole family[00:00:58]
I guess he couldn't take it[00:01:00]
I give back even if it ain't nothing big[00:01:02]
Look at my grandma terminal disease[00:01:04]
Only got months to live[00:01:06]
They tell us we ain't gonna be nothing[00:01:08]
Gave my homie 25 years[00:01:09]
I shed tears for all my peers[00:01:12]
Dear God can ya save me[00:01:15]
If you can't save me save our babies[00:01:17]
So many ghetto tears my people cry[00:01:21]
You ain't supposed to question God[00:01:23]
But I'm asking why[00:01:25]
So many ghetto tears my people cry[00:01:27]
Through out the years my people shed ghetto tears[00:01:29]
My people shed ghetto tears through out the years[00:01:33]
The ghetto's like a headache one big ol migrane[00:01:38]
Trying to stay high till I die[00:01:42]
Trying to like hide the pain[00:01:43]
My homey Mama died and didn't know it[00:01:45]
When she died he committed suicide[00:01:47]
My homie jumped up off the sixth floor[00:01:49]
Maybe it's too late for me[00:01:51]
Since I'm still here I'm kinda glad to be[00:01:52]
Been in and out of jail since I was 12[00:01:54]
Life been hectic since Mama had me[00:01:55]
I have to ask myself the simple question why[00:01:57]
It's so hard to live but yet so easy to die[00:02:00]
With this simple question Lord can you help me[00:02:03]
Just trying to live large and wealthy[00:02:06]
From these card that you dealt me[00:02:07]
I used to ask but now they ask me[00:02:09]
Life passed em up I wonder will life pass me[00:02:11]
Cause it really ain't no love for us ghetto kids[00:02:15]
For all the dirt that I did[00:02:18]
I don't think I'll find where heaven is[00:02:19]
I wonder why they won't panic and try to ban it[00:02:22]
Probably cause they scared of it[00:02:25]
I just don't understand it um[00:02:26]
Dear God can ya save me[00:02:29]
If you can't save me save our babies[00:02:31]
So many ghetto tears my people cry[00:02:34]
You can't question God but I'm asking why[00:02:37]
So many ghetto tears my people cry[00:02:41]
Through out the years my people shed ghetto tears[00:02:43]
My people shed ghetto tears through out the years[00:02:47]
My people shed ghetto tears[00:02:50]
How could you carry a kid for 9 months black[00:02:52]
She had a baby boy[00:02:55]
But while she she was pregnant she was smoking crack[00:02:56]
How could you rape and abouse your kids[00:02:58]
How could you committ i****t and say you love your kids[00:03:01]
They ain't ask to be here they ain't ask to see here[00:03:05]
Slipped here by 15 minutes of pleasure[00:03:08]
That's why they can't see clear[00:03:09]
From the cradle to the grave[00:03:11]
Or from the cemetary to the penatentary[00:03:12]
Life is so hard now bet ya leave it[00:03:15]
Then dear God can ya save me[00:03:17]
If you can't save me save our babies[00:03:20]
So many ghetto tears my people cry[00:03:24]
And I'm asking why[00:03:28]
My people shed ghetto tears[00:03:30]
So many ghetto tears my people cry[00:03:32]
So many ghetto tears[00:03:37]
Through out the years my people shed ghetto tears[00:03:38]
