Every Ghetto
So I roll down the window. I see gun store, gun store, liquor store, gun store. I'm like where are you taking me? Shout out Dave Chappelle! We bout to live it up We bout to give it up We bout to twist it up (Every ghetto) The startin' salary, it's hard reality Find solidarity (Every ghetto) We got our leaders too, but do they leave us? Or they lead us and they see it through? (Every ghetto) Yeah we packin' precious metals It's next level We raise the Yeah yeah (Every ghetto) Every ghetto, every city, like myself They way too used to the miss ??? How to concentrate, how to sit still Murder rate permanent place in the top 10 We live here, these hipsters drop in You hear the barrels cockin' They say consciousness mean we ain't rugged SongtexteUntil you get beat within an inch of it Self made dudes don't get discovered They actin' like I owe 'em somethin' Homie, I don't owe you nothin' Your beef, it's way too early in the mornin' for the hate You ain't brush your teeth yet And your toast ain't buttered Perfect storm and the coast is flooded First discovered and my flow got A ??? stuttered I'm going too fast, let me slow down! I'm good walkin' in every ghetto around the world The hood often embrace ya when you profound with words I say the stuff they relate to, I keep it down to Earth Other rappers sound like they hate you, they sound absurd. When they walk through the ghetto, they get their chain snatched They gotta talk to the ghetto to get their chain back, It's like an open air prison and it remain packed Nothin' but straight facts and straight rap Any vibe for the people by the people Ya-ya, getty up Who got the juice now? Snatch it out your kitty's scrap Gave us watered down This one about for ya They be brushin' with death, uh Is this the art of war for cops? We double-dutchin' duckin' shots Every home ain't got a pop Every man ain't sellin' rocks A different way to live here Different from switchin' bars They pray that we switch our cars To a fiend from a metaphor Worldstar, Worldstar Lotta love and this life hard Got us prayin' like "oh God" Illegally thievery think you're stealing off easily Frustrated we hate it, yeah That's why we scream out homie we made it! It's an odd future they ain't know we was also creators Somethin' from nothin' Was told walkie-man you're frontin' For the people, by the people but them over money I'm on my Miley Davis workin' for justice How you get away with murder? Be a cop and just kill us! How we supposed to not catch feelin's? Innocent lives, boy we got kids in these buildin's I'm on my Viola Davis, call it defense For all the drama they gave us Spittin' shots around with it Too high for you like ganja That's why they shot Andre You still blacker than Hamptons Still black and be rich Spread lovin' just the Brooklyn way, It's universal 360 and the nine lives, woah The startin' salary, it's hard reality Find solidarity (Every ghetto) We got our leaders too, but do they leave us? Or they lead us and they see it through? (Every ghetto) Revolution! Aus Songtexte Mania
