Ghetto Rap

This is a life I've gotten used to Last night someone stole my shoes My life has been miserable all the way around It's a stereo with no speakers, which means no sound Everyone here inherits the same habits Drugs, teenage pregnancy, it mass produces like rabbits Once you are born here, you are trapped There is only one thing you know, it's the ghetto rap You want some Black Label on ice Instead a double shot of Jack, so you pay for it twice There no way to cool your ice tea Take a look around, no trace of a family tree The cops know where you live, they need no map Come on and experience the ghetto rap From the Barrios to Danny Thomas Blvd Nothing comes easy here, so you live life hard All you can do, is try to keep it real What isn't bolted down, you have to steal As you enter the stage, your ticket out, no one claps Until they experience the ghetto rap There is so much more that could go on Like that letter you received entitled Dear John Always go down fighting, the only way to go Who will be the deliverer and bring the next generation out of the ghetto The government don't care it's up to you They bribe the babies having babies with food stamps and a tax payers dollar or two They encourage you to continue to eat the bait in the government's trap It is all part of a conspiracy called the ghetto rap
