Crooked Eye - Ghetto Life lyrics

[Intro: Master P] Wazzup Steady Mobb'n and Snoop? I know you all grew up in the ghetto in the westcoast I'm from down south But it don't matter whether you from the eastcoast or where ever Cause the ghetto is a constant struggle It's all about the mo' money you make The mo' problems you have I guess the ghetto is just consequences that we can't exscape You heard me? [Crooked Eye] So many murders jumpin off Blood soakin the street So many children worldwide With nothin to eat There's no peace On these trigger happy police It's hard enough bein born black These times are brief Three strikes (Your out!) Your little homie lost his life Do a lot of things wrong To feed his baby at night I wish I could Put a lil', love in the hood Once again, and free all my doggs from the pen Mercy me, this world ain't what it use to be It seems the whole world's smoked out High off D See my brother, murdered his own grandmother Now that's sick, all for the love of a hit No protection, people, dyin of age The Lord said it would be like this in the last of days Kidnappin babies It ain't, safe for our kids Man it's such a wicked place In which we live [Chorus: Crooked Eye & Marvin Gaye] It's a struggle in the city to survive on the streets (Oooooooooooooooooooooooh) (Mercy, mercy, mercy me) The world is a ghetto full of worn out peace (These streets ain't what they used tooo be) So many soldiers dyin everyday to earn a strive (These streets ain't what they used to beehee) I'm tired of losin homies to this ghetto life I'm tired of losin homies to this ghetto life [Snoop Dogg] This is somthin for the white, the black, and the brown From D-P to Oak-Town And back down As the world go round Another war go down Behind my smile there's a frown I'm a king wit no crown Still I put it down Acts all my tiny locs That's on Dogg Pound (Dogg Pound) Now all my kin folks Sometimes we have to pause, and reminisce And get blitzed And wish for potato chips And Dip slips, curves, and knuckle balls I wanna safe em' all And buck em' all But I can't Cause I'm on a tank now Think now Stop, pause dogg Put your drink down I need your attention, undivided Cause know a days Only the strong survive Everything else Is fallin to the left of me With all this jealousy and greed Dear God, have mercy [Chorus] [Billy Bavgate] Lord have mercy on me Cause I wanna be a angel and fly Tell me who's gonna save the world When it's destined to die So much hatred and anxiety A patriot of God Bein attacked by the anti-christ Young brotha better change your life Cause you runnin outta time I wish that I could help But it's too much crime These fools can't read the signs I remember all my good times I call help for my bad times Infatuated by the by the street crime If I could change the time Tell me why, why people gotta die I finally cried When my mama died It's a scary world I had to bury a beautiful girl It's gettin' hectic in this cold world But I'm still tryin to slow down But only thugs, I hang around So it's hard now Lord have mercy [Chorus]
