Master P - Ghetto Life Lyrics
Uhhh, shhhhDont say nothin just listen (for all yall ghetto people out there)Through like all the bloodshedAnd all the tears and all the homies I done lost (calliope projects)Aint nothing like the ghettoIf I had to do it all againI probably wouldnt change a thingMaster p:I live my life homie, but not for greedPicture young sistes and brothers planting their ghetto seedsAint nothing promised in this ghetto but we lost cause we blackPicture 5 kids in the project in a one room shackI had big dreams of making it bigI caught nightmares of fools splittin my wigI couldnt change for the guppies that tried to hatePicture me a ghetto child with a house by the lakeAint nothing promised but we not to blameSinning, uhh to make some changeI wish the society feel my painEmpty me underneath we all the sameHigh construction on penatentiary barsThey main focus is blacks with fancy carsAnd they beat us on high interest loansRepossess our property cause we dont think to ownChorus (4x):This ghetto live got us hustlin and scufflinI said penatentiary chances keep us thuggin and mugginBun-b:Now I was known for walking on the wrong side of the tracksSlanging, smoking and drinking yack, reminiscing and thinking backA lot of facts have been changed we take the innocent and guiltyI played the cards that they dealed meWent through changes that dealed meInto a better man but most often Im misunderstoodCall me a gangsta cause I relay consciousness from the hoodBut alot of good comes from what you call negativityWe working with no leverage or incentive gcause their nothing you ever give to meOn television or them history booksGot black kids thinking they only out on this earth to be crooksSee all these mystery looks, thats on the face of the boss manWhen he can see a young black brother no longer lost manThey try to break your spirit, before you figure out the gameBy the time you do you lost your fame, reputation and your nameBut baby we can do it take your time do it rightYou dont wanna be a superstar overnightTrying to live that ghetto lifeChorus (4x):Pimp c:I live my life for my son so he can have somethingBlessed just to see a new day so Im trying to grab somethingI been on top of the world and at the bottom tooWhen you up you got lots of friends and when you down its fewThe way we grew up was wrong, Im the first to admitI know God and just drop me here to be going through thisI lost d-ray last year and its just not the sameJust at the time in his life when he was trying to changeHe told me, pimp I need help, I want up out the gameI made a promise, I lied cause the next night he diedI guess our childhood is over cause man aint nothing funnyAnd everythign that I love revolve around sex and moneyI wanna have some more kids but in the 90s thats crazyThe womans polluted so it aint safe to make babiesAnd its a shame cause uncle sam aint got no job to pay meBut pay the mightiest 40 gs for every year they enslave meIts crazyChorus (repeat til fades)
