I was raised a little young nigga doinв' bad shit Talk much shit, cause I never had shit I can remember beinв' whooped in class And if I didnв't pass momma would whoop my ass Was it my fault poppa didnв't plan it out? Broke out left me to be the man of the house. I couldnв't take it, had to make a profit Found a block, got a glock, and I cocked it Makin gв's was my mission Movin enough of this shit to get my momma out the kitchen And why must I sock a fella Just to live large like rockafella First you didnв't give a fuck, but you learnin now If you donв't respect our town, then will burn you down God dam, itв's a mutherfuckin riot Black people on a rage, police so donв't try it If your not from the town, then donв't pass through Cause some old g, fools might blast you It ainв't right but itв's long overdue We canв't have peace, till the niggas get a piece too I wantв's so you labeled me a criminal And if I die, I wonda if heavenв's got a ghetto. I wonder if heavenв's got a ghetto I wonder if heavenв's got a ghetto I wonder if heavenв's got a ghetto I wonder if heavenв's got a ghetto Here on earth Tell me whatв's a black life worth A bottle of juice is no excuse, the truth hurts And even when you take the shit Move cowards get a lawyer, you can shake the shit Ask rodney, natasha, and many more Itв's been goin on for years, theres plenty more When they ask me when will I violence cease? When your troops stop shootin niggas down in the streets Niggas had enough, time to make a difference Bear witness own a whole business But regard cause itв's hard tryin to make ends meet But we couldnв't afford the shit, now everythings free So we loot, please donв't shot when ya see Iв'm takin from them, cause for years they would take from me Now the tables are turned around You didnв't listen until a nigga turned you down Now bush canв't stop the hit I predict the shit, in 2pacalypse And for once I was down with niggas Felt good in the hood, being around the niggas And the first time everybody let go The streets is death row I wonda if heavenв'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 theyв'll be actin right Cause both black and white is smokin crack tonight And the only time we deal is when we kill each other It takes skill to be real, time to heal each other Although it seems evident We ainв't ready to have a black president huh And ainв't a secret donв't conceal the fact The penitentiaryв's packed, and itв's filled with blacks I wake up in the mornin, and ask myself Is life worth livin ,should I blast myself Iв'm tired of being poor and even worse, Iв'm black My stomach hurts, so Iв'm lookin for a purse to snatch Cops give a damn about a negro Pull a trigga, kill a nigga , heв's a hero Moв' nigga, moв' nigga, moв' niggas Rather be a dead then a poв' nigga Let the lord judge the criminals, and if I die I wonda if heavenв's got a ghetto. (chorus until it fades out)
