The Ghetto

[Intro: 3D The Hook King]
(Da Realest)
Talkin' 'bout the ghetto (It doesn't hit unless my daddy on the hook, 3)
This motherfuckin' ghetto
Tryna survive
Tryna stay alive, yeah

[Chorus: 3D The Hook King]
The ghetto (Talkin' 'bout the ghetto)
The ghetto (The motherfuckin' ghetto)
The ghetto (Run off with mine)
The ghetto (And them killers gon' slide, yeah)

[Verse 1: Peezy & 3D The Hook King]
Even though we all came from nothin' (The ghetto), tryna run up millions
Young boys seventeen in the crack house chillin'
Sold dope with my niggas, had to make me a living
Had to gеt it out the mud and run it up to the ceiling
Food stamps fill thе fridge in the hood where I lived
Had to cut the oven on just to heat up the crib
Sold crack to my kin, had no choice as a kid
Junkies beggin' for a rock, do anything for a hit
Young niggas taking hits, they too lazy to trap
Oldheads still hustling, buyin' eighthies of crack
Where I'm from, it ain't safe, you gotta stay with a strap
If you ain't down to kill something, better stay where you at

[Chorus: 3D The Hook King]
In the ghetto (Talkin' 'bout the ghetto)
The ghetto (This motherfuckin' ghetto)
The ghetto (Tryna survive)
The ghetto (Tryna stay alive, yeah)
The ghetto

[Verse 2: Peezy]
Shootin' dice on the corner with a sack on my nuts
Walkin' to the liquor store to go and buy me some blunts
Softest niggas catchin' bodies, it ain't 'bout being tough
Either kill or be killed, nigga, strap on your nuts
Raid vans hit the spot and took my uncle to jail
Can't be labeled as a rat 'cause you gon' die if you tell
Whole hood got indicted, it's like we livin' in hell
Gave my nigga natural life, I hope he get his appeal
Used to live with dope fiends, it was natural to me
I ain't never had shit, so I was happy to eat
Ridin' in the base rental with the strap on the seat
Every nigga in my hood sell crack just to eat

[Chorus: 3D The Hook King]
In the ghetto (Young niggas keep dying)
The ghetto (And these bitches still lying)
The ghetto (Got nowhere to sleep)
The ghetto (But got Gucci shoes on your feet)
The ghetto

[Verse 3: Peezy]
Barbecuin' in the summer, shootin' hoops on the rim
Auntie shootin' up the needle, uncles using the stem
Hit the road so much, I got used to them trips
Coming back with Rollies on in the newest of whips
Hand-to-hand transactions, tryna stack me a knot
I ain't paid off my license, but just bought me a watch
Neighborhood superstar sellin' crack out of spots
Fuck the titty bar up, then head back to the block
Buy brand new cars, rock brand new clothes
Buy brand new ice, fuck brand new hoes
Brand new white tee and some brand new lows
Just to chill in the hood while I sell my dope

[Chorus: 3D The Hook King]
In the ghetto (Talkin' 'bout the ghetto, talkin' 'bout the ghetto, yeah)
The ghetto (Talkin' 'bout the ghetto, this motherfuckin' ghetto)
The ghetto (Talkin' 'bout the ghetto, tryin' to survive)
The ghetto (Talkin' 'bout the ghetto, tryin' to stay alive, yeah)
The ghetto
