Silkk The Shocker - Ghetto Tears Lyrics
Dear God can ya save meIf you cant save me, save our babies(we trying to keep it real, so many ghetto tears my people cryLife is hard and I see that every day, just so many ghetto tearsIn the ghetto)Age 11 looking out of a ghetto buildingMom and 5 of us little ghetto childrenI aint never knew wrong from rightGrowing up off my life, thinking adidas had 4 stripesSo my uncle tried to warn usTold us not to do drugs, but yesterday I saw him on itSee in my hood it aint no loveAge 13, seen my auntie o.d. on drugsThe neighborhood hoe only 15 and everybody wants to bang herFound her dead, gave herself and abortion with a clothes hangerI seen on of my neighbors try everything but couldnt make itCame home one day killed his whole familyI guess he couldnt take itI give back, even if it aint nothing bigLook at my grandma, terminal disease only got months to liveThey tell us we aint gonna be nothinGave my homie 25 yearsI shed tears for all my peersChorus:Dear God can ya save meIf you cant save me, save our babiesSo many ghetto tears my people cryYou aint supposed to question God but Im asking whySo many ghetto tears my people cryThrough out the years, my people shed ghetto tearsMy people shed ghetto tears, through out the yearsThe ghettos like a headache, one big ol migraneTryin to stay high till I dieTryin to like hide the painMy homey mama died and didnt know itWhen she died he committed suicideMy homie jumped up off the sixth floorMaybe its too late for meSince Im still here, Im kinda glad to beBeen in and out of jail since I was 12Life been hectic since mama had meI have to ask myself the simple question whyIts so hard to live but yet so easy to dieWith this simple question lord can you help meJust tryin to live large and wealthyFrom these card that you dealt meI used to ask ? ? ? , but now they ask meLife passed em up, I wonder will life pass meCause it really aint no love for us ghetto kidsFor all the dirt that I didI dont think Ill find where heaven isI wonder why they wont panic and try to ban itProbably cause they scared of itI just dont understand itChorusHow could you carry a kid for 9 months blackShe had a baby boyBut while she she was pregnant she was smoking crackHow could you rape and abouse your kidsHow could you committ incest and say you love your kidsThey aint ask to be here, they aint ask to see hereSlipped here by 15 minutes of pleasureThats why they cant see clearFrom the cradle to the graveOr from the cemetary to the penatentaryLife is so hard now bet ya leave itChorus
