Ghetto

[Intro]
The ghetto
The ghetto
Seems like, the whole world
Ghetto

[Hook]
A place where Jake don't feel safe
Cause the thugs got the block locked down
There's no escaping (the ghetto)
There's petty hustlers, they flip fiends and uh
Our holiday's every first and fifteenth
It's (the ghetto)
A place where some people can't shine for themselves
So when they rob you they just crying for help
And it seems like we make the whole world go 'round
And everybody wanna be down
Copy the sounds of (the ghetto)

[Verse 1: Theory Hazit]
Boys & Girls grow up fast
Chicken-heads run the streets as soon as they eggs hatch
Players posted up, parking perpendicular
Searching for a way but all they have is (the ghetto)
They settle for the street cred
Instead of trying ta teach heads
The best way to walk in every path in (the ghetto)
It's sad cause we wanna bust shots
Getting props for licking the block hot
You're messing up (the ghetto)
It's time to make a change for the better
Let's start with ourselves
The world is my sword and it's such a better feel
Than (the ghetto)
A section where the Jews were restricted
Where they separated blacks from the world, know ya history
(the ghetto)
Most people wish that they were from but never come
Cause they know somebody dumb got a gun in (the ghetto)
There's real people that do real things
Everybody don't have bling but we all have dreams
And is seems like they make the whole world
Believe that there's nothing for you & me except
Drugs and BET in (the ghetto)

[Hook]
A place where Jake don't feel safe
Cause the thugs got the block locked down
There's no escape in (the ghetto)
There's petty hustlers, they flip fiends and uh
Our holiday's every first and fifteenth
It's (the ghetto)
A place where some people can't shine for themselves
So when they murder they just crying for help
And it seems like we make the whole world go round
And everybody wanna be down
Copy the sounds of (the ghetto)

[Verse 2: Theory Hazit]
Yo it'll make you or break you
Some people hate just to see how far it'll take you
(The ghetto) is what we need to get out of
We get distracted and what happens?
We forget about love up in (the ghetto)
It's where the single mothers rise up, wise up
And put they foot down when times tough
And it seems like we make the whole world think that
There ain't no real men steppin up to be fathers up in (the ghetto)
Afterlife, have the passion of the Christ
Theory Hazit spit it right
So I sacrifice my life cause (the ghetto)
Trying to kill me, Master P feels me
When you a college boy it's hard being a victim of (the ghetto)
Jam is about to slam dominoes
Theory spits the facts, waking you out your comatose
And it seems like we got the whole world following trends
They even tried to mock Eminem and blame (the ghetto)

[Hook]
A place where Jake don't feel safe
Cause the thugs got the block locked down
There's no escape in (the ghetto)
There's petty hustlers, they flip fiends and uh
Our holiday's every first and fifteenth
It's (the ghetto)
A place where some people can't shine for themselves
So when they jump you they just crying for help
And it seems like we make the whole world go 'round
An' everybody wanna be down
Copy the sounds of (the ghetto)

[Outro]
Yeah...this is dedicated to my cousin Bryan Clark
