How He Became A Ghetto Boy

(DJ NIX)
Verse 1

Takin’ It Back On This Beat

A Smart Man Learns From His Mistakes
A Wise Man Learns From Others
And Since I Been Doin’ Both / I’m A Bad Mother Fucker
Now First Things First
Cash Rules Everything Around Me Since Birth
And Shit Ain’t Gonna Change / When I’m Ridin’ In The Hearst
The Devil Never Sleeps / So It’s Time To Put In Work
I Live To Get Live / Don’t You Realize
That My Name’s Your Despise
I Don’t Know What The Fuck The Answer Is
But Every Time I Think About It / I’m Smokin’ Them Cancer Sticks
I Know I’m Ill / But Who’s Got The Medicine?

(DJ NIX)
Chorus - 2x

Ma’s Got Murdered / Pop’s Servin’ Sentence
Johnny’s Cuttin’ School / Blame It That He’s Parent-less
Shit Ain’t Gonna Stop / And Shit Ain’t Gonna Change
You Just Gotta Learn / How To Deal With It Mane

(DJ NIX)
Verse 2

Time Is Now / It’s The Trinity
Tomorrow Ain’t Here / It’s Still A Mystery
Where The Hell Am I Goin’? / What The Hell Am I Doin?
Shadow Boxin’ With A Ghost / I’m Damn Near In Ruins
Got Big Dreams / Shot For The Moon / And Reached The Stars
Aerodynamic Cars / I’m Hard
From The Atlantic To The Pacific / I Stays Scientific
What’d You Skip It? / Common Sense 101
Educated As Fuck / But You Still Actin’ Dumb

Told You / This Is Science Son
I’m Tryin’ Like Hell / To Keep My Life In Balance
And The Worst Thing In The World / Is Wasted Talent
So I Get My Act Right / And Get My Shit Together
Made A Few Changes / And Made ‘Em For The Better
Got A Bad Reception / Well It’s Time To Tune In
Catch It On Satellite / We Got A Problem Houston
I Leave Nothing Negated / My Moves Are Calculated
Calculus / I’m Algebraic
Albatross / Cuz I Don’t Floss

(DJ NIX)
Chorus - 2x

Ma’s Got Murdered / Pop’s Servin’ Sentence
Johnny’s Cuttin’ School / Blame It That He’s Parent-less
Shit Ain’t Gonna Stop / And Shit Ain’t Gonna Change
You Just Gotta Learn / How To Deal With It Mane

(DJ NIX)
Verse 3

We Don’t Have Nine Lives To Live / So Live To Be Live
And Don’t Lie To Be Live / And Just Strive To Survive
Don’t Be Blinded By The Light / At Night
When It’s Dark / And Less Light
Less Stress / I Guess
Damn Right / More Sess
More Rhymes That Make Sense
Always Beats / Be Strong
Not Weak / Week Long
‘Til You Tally Fifty-Two
That’s Every State / Plus Me And You
The Villain Is Accused / The Innocent’s Abused
I Still Refuse To Lose
And I Wouldn’t Walk A Mile In Another Man’s Shoes
From Pole To Pole / East And West Coasts
I Rock Year Round / Solstice To Solstice
I Don’t Wanna Live My Whole Life As I Lived It
I Just Wanna Remember The Good Times When I Kicked It
You The Type / That’s Built To Last
Well / I’m The Type That’s Built For Last
Never In First / But First To Blast
I Keep My Thoughts Cheap / So The Broke Can Afford It
I’m A Soldier / Come On Down / Saint NIX Out The Boondocks Around Here

(DJ NIX)
Chorus - 2x

Ma’s Got Murdered / Pop’s Servin’ Sentence
Johnny’s Cuttin’ School / Blame It That He’s Parent-less
Shit Ain’t Gonna Stop / And Shit Ain’t Gonna Change
You Just Gotta Learn / How To Deal With It Mane
