2pac - I Wonder If Heaven's Got A Ghetto lyrics

i was raised a little young n***a doin' bad sh** Talk much sh**, cause i never had sh** I can remember bein' whooped in cla** And if i didn't pa** momma would whoop my a** Was it my fault poppa didn't plan it out? Broke out left me to be the man of the house. I couldn't take it, had to make a profit Found a block, got a glock, and i co*ked it Makin g's was my mission Movin enough of this sh** to get my momma out the kitchen And why must i sock a fella Just to live large like rockafella First you didn't give a f**, but you learnin now If you don't respect our town, then will burn you down God dam, it's a mutherf**in riot Black people on a rage, police so don't try it If your not from the town, then don't pa** through Cause some old g, fools might blast you It ain't right but it's long overdue We can't have peace, till the n***as get a piece too I want's so you labeled me a criminal And if i die, i wonda if heaven's got a ghetto. I wonder if heaven's got a ghetto I wonder if heaven's got a ghetto I wonder if heaven's got a ghetto I wonder if heaven's got a ghetto Here on earth Tell me whats a black life worth A bottle of juice is no excuse, the truth hurts And even when you take the sh** Move cowards get a lawyer, you can shake the sh** Ask rodney, natasha, and many more It's been goin on for years, theres plenty more When they ask me when will i violence cease? When your troops stop shootin n***as down in the streets n***as had enough, time to make a difference Bear witness own a whole business But regard cause it's hard tryin to make ends meet But we couldn't afford the sh**, now everythings free So we loot, please don't shot when ya see I'm takin from them, cause for years they would take from me Now the tables are turned around You didn't listen until a n***a turned you down Now bush can't stop the hit I predict the sh**, in 2pacalypse And for once i was down with n***as Felt good in the hood, being around the n***as And the first time everybody let go The streets is d**h row I wonda if heaven's got a ghetto. (chorus) I see no changes, all i see is racist faces Misplaced hate makes disgraced races We under, i wonder what it takes to make this One better place, let erase the wasted Take the evil out the people they'll be actin right Cause both black and white is smokin crack tonight And the only time we deal is when we k** each other It takes sk** to be real, time to heal each other Although it seems evident We ain't ready to have a black president huh And ain't a secret don't conceal the fact The penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks I wake up in the mornin, and ask myself Is life worth livin ,should i blast myself I'm tired of being poor and even worse, i'm black My stomach hurts, so i'm lookin for a purse to snatch Cops give a damn about a negro Pull a trigga, k** a n***a , he's a hero Mo' n***a, mo' n***a, mo' n***as Rather be a dead then a po' n***a Let the lord judge the criminals, and if i die I wonda if heaven's got a ghetto. (chorus until it fades out)
