I wonder if Heaven got a ghettoI wonder if Heaven got a ghettoI wonder if Heaven got a ghettoI wonder if Heaven got a ghettoI was raised, the little young n**** doin' bad s***Talk much s***, 'cause I never had s***I could remember being whupped in classAnd if I didn't pa**, mama whupped my a**Was it my fault, papa didn't plan it outBroke out left me to be the man of the houseI couldn't take it, had to make a profitDown the block, got a glock and I clock gripMakin G's was my missionMovin' enough of this s*** to get my mama out the kitchenAnd why must I sock a fella,Just to live large like RockefellerFirst you didn't give a f*** but you're learnin' nowIf you don't respect the town then we'll burn you downSongtexteGod damn it's a motherf***in' riotBlack people only hate police so don't try itIf you're not from the town then don't pa** through'Cause some O.G. fools might blast youIt ain't right but it's long overdueWe can't have peace till the n****z get a piece tooI want G's so you label me a criminalAnd if I die, I wonder if Heaven got a ghettoI wonder if Heaven got a ghettoI wonder if Heaven got a ghettoI wonder if Heaven got a ghettoI wonder if Heaven got a ghettoHere on Earth, tell me what's a black life worthA bottle of juice is no excuse, the truth hurtsAnd even when you take the s***Move counties, get a lawyer, you can shake the s***Ask Rodney, LaTasha, and many moreIt's been goin' on for years, there's plenty moreWhen they ask me, when will the violence cease?When your troops stop shootin' n****z down in the streetN****z had enough time to make a differenceBear witness, own our own businessWord to God, 'cause it's hard tryin' to make ends meetFirst we couldn't afford s*** now everything's freeSo we loot, please don't shoot when you seeI'm takin' from them 'cause for years they would take it from meNow the tables have turned aroundYou didn't listen, until the n****z burned it downAnd now Bush can't stop the hitPredicted the s***, in 2PacalypseAnd for once I was down with n****z, felt goodIn the hood bein' around the n****z, yeahAnd for the first time everybody let goAnd the streets is death rowI wonder if Heaven got a ghettoI wonder if Heaven got a ghettoI wonder if Heaven got a ghettoI wonder if Heaven got a ghettoI wonder if Heaven got a ghettoI see no changes, all I see is racist facesMisplaced hate makes disgrace to racesWe under, I wonder what it take to make thisOne better place, let's erase the wait stateTake the evil out the people, they'll be acting right'Cause both black and white are smokin' crack tonightAnd only time we deal is when we kill each otherIt takes skill to be real, time to heal each otherAnd though it seems Heaven-sentWe ain't ready to have a black President, huhIt ain't a secret don't conceal the factThe penitentiary's packed and it's filled with blacksI wake up in the morning and I ask myselfIs life worth living, should I blast myselfI'm tired of being poor and even worse I'm blackMy stomach hurts so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatchCops give a damn about a negroPull a trigger, kill a n*****, he's a heroMo' n****, mo' n****, mo' n****zI'd rather be dead than a po' n****Let the Lord judge the criminalsIf I die, I wonder if Heaven got a ghettoI wonder if Heaven got a ghettoI wonder if Heaven got a ghettoAnd I wonder if Heaven got a ghettoI wonder if Heaven got a ghettoI wonder if Heaven got a ghettoI wonder if Heaven got a ghettoI wonder if Heaven got a ghettoJust think, if n****z decide to retaliateSoldier in the houseI wonder if Heaven got a ghettoI wonder if Heaven got a ghettoI wonder if Heaven got a ghettoI wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
