2pac - Ghetto (remix) lyrics

[Hook : Akon] Ghetto, Ghetto, Ghetto, Ghetto we livin [Verse 1 : BIG] I know how it feel to wake up f**ed up Pockets broke as hell, another rock to sell People look at you like youse the user Selling d** to all the losers, mad buddha abuser But they don't know about your stress-filled day Baby on the way mad bills to pay That's why you drink Tanqueray; so you can reminisce And wish, you wasn't livin so devilish, sssh** I remember I was just like you Smokin blunts with my crew, flippin over 62's Cause G-E-D, wasn't B-I-G I had to get P-A-I-D, that's why my moms hate me She was forced to kick me out, no doubt Then I figured out licks went for twenty down South Packed up my tools for my raw power move Glock nineteen for casket and flower moves For chumps tryin to stop my flow And what they don't know will show on the autopsy Went to see Papi, to cop me a brick Asked for some consignment and he wasn't tryin to hear it Smoking mad Newport's cause I'm due in court For an a**ault, that I caught, in Bridgeport, New York Catch me if you can like the Gingerbread Man You better have your gat in hand, cause man (you betta have your gat in hand cause man) [Hook : Akon] Ghetto, Ghetto, Ghetto, Ghetto we livin [Verse 2 : 2Pac] Our lifestyles be close captioned Addicted to fatal attractions Pictures of actions be played back In the midst of mashin' No fairy tales for this young black male Some see me stranded in this land of hell, jail, and crack sales Hustlin' and heart be a n***a culture or the Repercutions while bustin' on backstabbin' vultures Sellin' my soul for material wishes, fast cars and b**hes Wishin' I live my life a legend, immortalized in pictures Why shed tears? Save your sympathy My childhood years were spent buryin' my peers in the cemetary Here's a message to the newborns, waitin' to breathe If you believe then you can achieve Just look at me Against all odds, though life is hard we carry on Livin' in the projects, broke with no lights on To all the seeds that follow me Protect your essence Born with less, but you still precious [Hook : Akon] Ghetto, Ghetto, Ghetto, Ghetto we livin [Verse 3 : Akon] Gun shots every night in the (ghetto) Crooked cops on sight in the (ghetto) Every day is a fight in the (ghetto) (oh oh oh oh oh) (ghetto) Got kids to feed in the (ghetto) Selling coke and weed in the (ghetto) Every day somebody bleed in the (ghetto) (oh oh oh oh oh) (ghetto) [Verse 4 : BIG] I had the master plan I'm in the caravan on my way to Maryland With my man Two-Tecs to take over this projects They call him Two-Tecs, he tote two tecs And when he start to bust he like to ask, Who's next? At last, I'm literally loungin black Sittin back, countin double digit thousand stacks See who got smoked, what rumors was spread Last I heard I was dead [Hook 2 : Akon] Ghetto, Ghetto, Ghetto, Ghetto we livin Cause thats the life when your Living in the (ghetto) oh Eating in the (ghetto) or Sleeping in the (ghetto, ghetto) Thats the life when ur Living in the (ghetto)oh Eating in the (ghetto) or Sleeping in the (ghetto, ghetto, ghetto) [Outro : BIG] (talking) It's a funny thing i kinda realized how powerful 2pac And i was u kno what i'm saying cuz pac is a strong dude Yo i kno him we two individual people we waged a coastal Beef but even tho we were going thru our drama i would Never wish d**h on nobody cuz there ain't no comin back
