[Chorus] The ghetto's got me hustlin' tryin' to survive The ghetts got me hustlin' tryin' to stay alive The ghetto get me hustlin' tryin' to survive And I know I'm goin' to hustle until the day I die
[Master P] UUGGHH!!! It's da black rain to da moon and tears that cause lies See that's the way I felt when my lil' brother died And some fools say it ain't no justice And other niggas say it ain't no peace That's why thugs help their on these projects and on these streets See my daddy made me a dealer And my cousin made me killer See that's why everything we do, they gonna respect us and feel us And I'm still tryin' to understand why big daddy was with da rest And my nephew on the last counter on da 14th down the car reck It ain't muthafucker down on dope, on crack, or aids And I see so many ghetto people go to jail And live your life and die like slaves I got a relative on apeel doin' 25 flat On murder or ride nigga fuck it Johnny Cochran can't fight that And since I'm black and I'm rich They see to overlook It's me advise First class niggas tryin' call da police tryin' to book us Ain't that a bitch, I done made millions And still goin' through a thang That's niggas ask me P why the fuck you never change
[Chorus]
[Silkk The Shocker] It's like I'm rich and poor I open the world and slang dop It's the world changes knowand changes I thorp I thank all my big brothers with out him I wouldn't made it through So with life on line put all up 4 him so I put that shit on TRU The ghetto got me caught up, no broken dreams The ghettos trap, I see some on crack, and dope fiends My hommie, Never did no crime but lien' up in the hearse Thank god 4 all that I got from that times can be wrorst Ever feel like u was swimming, and really was dronin' You ani't wanna smile but your tender smile always see me clownin' I trade my life to make the world better Trade everything I got including life To bring back my brother Kevin See I spit the realist shit Tryin' make yo'll feel this shit Yo'll tryin' put the finger on our side Livin' middle bricks livin' this shit See I tell you everybody use to ride benzes But we had to ride buggies Mom wanted better things for me But private school was way past our budget So if I'm happy and I'm smilin' and I'm camouflage my problems The only way I can really solve them If I really grab and revolve them So I grab it and I cocked it I was going to pop it But I stop, forgot I was rich What everybody not rich Every month so close to gettin' no profits My only hustle, I told them to stop it But can't really knock it Everybody died up in game Everybody tryin' to maintain Wall from out da ghetto Close my eyes and still see the pain Sometimes I just get fed up To all my souljas worldwide I know its hard to stride Keep your head up!
