Ghetto Beautiful

Nevoy

Verse 1

When they try sayin a darkskin women ain't beautiful
I hit them with the tech you stupid fool
You can't really test me i'm blessed i'm true
I'm so heavy that i'm nearly obtuse
I speak the truth to the youth
That wanna hear these vocals when i spit it in the booth
We were told nuttin but lies
The devil in disguise
Told us that we had to be white
But it don't matter bout the colour of you're skin
How much dough you have in the bank you'rе still winning
There's a chance you'll makе it to heaven as long as you're not sinning
Cause you were good even from the beginning
I might not be able to afford that lamborghini that i wanted as a kid
But im still good cause i never sold my soul out to the industry
Even though i did some wrong
I sold my soul to the devil but turned into a spiritual rebel

Chorus

When the sun don't shine on you
That's ghetto beautiful that's ghetto beautiful
When they say that you're too dark to come through
That's ghetto beautiful that's ghetto beautiful

When you ain't got a house and you're out in the cold
That's ghetto beautiful that's ghetto beautiful
Its a sad life but we'll make it through
Cause were ghetto beautiful were ghetto beautiful

Verse 2

I've seen the the worst of the worst
They cursed my life
They tried to take all my money
Tried to knife me in the back
But brudda i stand tall and show em that im so damn cool
I've always been this way
Ever since i was a kid
I was never a fool falling into the showbiz
The hype the illusion
I've come to this conclusion
Niggas don't wanna buy my tunes
Well i'm gonna give them out free
I don't fit into you're establishment
I'm not justin bieber i haven't sold a million records
In fact i haven't sold one
But i don't give a fuck
I won't let you shoot me with that gun
I ain't had a woman in my whole life
Im 33 tryna get through their pain and strife
I don't fit into this white mans world
But i've got the power and you know my soul will devour

Chorus

When the sun don't shine on you
That's ghetto beautiful that's ghetto beautiful
When they say that you're too dark to come through
That's ghetto beautiful that's ghetto beautiful

When you ain't got a house and you're out in the cold
That's ghetto beautiful that's ghetto beautiful
Its a sad life but we'll make it through
Cause were ghetto beautiful were ghetto beautiful

Verse 3

Once was slaves but now were emancipated
Why do we still live in the same towns and places
Where they didn't wanna show us our own faces
On the tv screen when they stole everything from us
They raped and killed us just to film us
Dancing on tv like michael jackson
A circus performer that ain't my endeavour
I'm tryna get back everything in this world
And if i don't make it in this earth
I pray that i get to heavens gates
And i get to see the black christ
That's what my mum says he is
Loungin in the heavens in the paradise

Chorus

When the sun don't shine on you
That's ghetto beautiful that's ghetto beautiful
When they say that you're too dark to come through
That's ghetto beautiful that's ghetto beautiful

When you ain't got a house and you're out in the cold
That's ghetto beautiful that's ghetto beautiful
Its a sad life but we'll make it through
Cause were ghetto beautiful were ghetto beautiful
