1
You know you ghetto boy, when you got a face, with a scar
2
And yo' highest aspirations is a place, and a car
3
Shorties pull out and bust, like a money shot
4
Now he on the run, he hot
5
And he hurtin' his Granny and she the only one he got
6
The hood so shady
7
You give up hope, of ever even tryin' to find a sunny,
8
Spot-light, they caught him at the
9
Stop-light, but if he woulda run that yellow
10
Then he coulda, run the globe
11
But instead, with speed
12
They put one in the middle of his frontal, lobe
13
Like a unicorn
14
I'm just tryin' to keep you, informed
15
To my little ghetto soldiers in they, gold
16
Green, red, and blue uni-forms, chuuch!
17
But I'm feeling like the loneliest monk
18
So I pull me a Thelonius Monk and blew, the horn
19
And we don the monikers of goons and gangsters
20
And are trained to conduct ourselves true, to form
21
So we add a Shorty, a Money, a Mack
22
A Lil', a Eazy, or a Young to our name
23
So all the big ballers grab rims and hung, in the game
24
And there's a degree, of difficulty
25
To make it from the ghetto boy into the man-hood
26
Especially when you know that yo' fresh greens
27
Will help eliminated a canned, good
28
Can, good, and bad co-exist?
29
In a place with plenty of off ramps but no exits
