1
Always had big dreams
2
Everybody had big dreams though
3
I never wanna stay here, I had no intentions
4
And I have had no plans
5
Live my life
6
Gotta know how to survive
7
Just can't hide
8
These streets eat you alive
9
Ghetto burbs
10
Cause I'm from two different worlds
11
Ghetto burbs
12
Comin' from the ghetto burbs
13
Yo yo, ghetto burbs I'm from the ghetto with Jerz
14
From where the pedal is served
15
Use hand, justice for words
16
Big up to LA, they was ahead of the curb
17
My hood we gang bang
18
You could get left on the curb
19
Yea I was raised here, but I'm tryna export
20
Police is crook yea, the strippers is escorts
21
Like my homey Layla, really I can't knock her
22
'Cause she getting paper, month ago she was knocked up
23
Baby daddy a dope boy, fresh homey was locked up
24
But he on the same shit, fucked around and got shot up
25
In my same mind, I'm like why he even bother?
26
At the same time don't know what he was a part of
27
And Layla over the casket, tears coming harder
28
The hood wins again, another son with no father
29
Gotta take it in stride, 'round here that's the usual
30
But I ain't accustomed, that shit I can't get used to
31
I'm trying to survive
32
Live my life
33
Gotta know how to survive
34
Just can't hide
35
'Cause these streets eat you alive
36
Ghetto burbs
37
Cause I'm in two different worlds
38
Ghetto burbs
39
Comin' from these ghetto burbs
40
Ghetto burbs, I'm from the ghetto of Jerz'
41
From where the ghetto's disturbed, you can be dead in a hearse
42
Say a prayer daily and end it with "better or worse"
43
I lost faith, but grandma still keep her head up in church
44
Murder rate sky-high, employment is real low
45
Little kid try to rap, but will he get a deal? No
46
'Cause poverty kills slow, belief is beyond you
47
7 out of ever 10 bitches here got the monster
48
Like my little homie Tanya, I met her at Freaknik
49
Freak shit, the same bitch them niggas be all out in the street with
50
Open, in love with the service
51
But she got resentments you won't see from the surface
52
Feel like so many women look great, so she worship
53
Caught AIDS from rape, thought her whole life was worthless
54
Ho couldn't know how gorgeous her curves is
55
She fucking 'em raw and hope to catch it on purpose
56
You better survive
57
Live my life
58
Gotta know how to survive
59
Just can't hide
60
Those streets eat you alive
61
Ghetto burbs
62
'Cause I'm from two different worlds
63
Ghetto burbs
64
Comin' from these ghetto burbs
65
Ghetto burbs, I'm from the ghetto of Jerz'
66
I ain't tryin' to act like my part of the ghetto's the worst
67
Niggas is tricks here, they'll buy stilettos for birds
68
How did I get here? They act like the metal don't hurt
69
You just getting high, guess they trying to escape it
70
Or commit suicide assuming they couldn't take it
71
The streets is cold, still we run around naked
72
Success is a void and we replace it with hatred
73
That's your homie from way back, from so many years old
74
But friends turn green, even that acted weird old
75
You think he cared? No, y'all used to share clothes
76
Now you struggle for rent and he got ice in his earlobes
77
Your man won't even extend a hand, meeting all his career goals
78
You need a whole 'nother plan, your career's froze
79
Valuables are more valuable
80
Than everything even value to dude
81
Cause you gotta survive
82
Live my life
83
Gotta know how to survive
84
Just can't hide
85
These streets eat you alive
86
Ghetto burbs
87
'Cause I'm in two different worlds
88
Ghetto burbs
89
Comin' from the ghetto burbs
90
Live my life
91
Gotta know how to survive
92
Just can't hide
93
These streets will eat you alive
94
Ghetto burbs
95
'Cause I'm in two different worlds
96
Ghetto burbs
97
Comin' from the ghetto burbs
