I Wonder if Heaven Got a Ghetto

And the streets is death row
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

Misplaced hate makes disgrace to races
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
Here on Earth, tell me what's a black life worth
And if I die, I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

Mo' nigga, mo' nigga, mo' niggaz
Soldier in the house
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
And now Bush can't stop the hit
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
Was it my fault, papa didn't plan it out
My stomach hurts so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

We can't have peace till the niggaz get a piece too
First we couldn't afford shit now everything's free

It takes skill to be real, time to heal each other

And though it seems Heaven-sent
Down the block, got a glock and I clock grip
Just to live large like Rockefeller

First you didn't give a fuck but you're learnin' now
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
God damn it's a motherfuckin' riot
Niggaz had enough time to make a difference
Now the tables have turned around
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
If you don't respect the town then we'll burn you down
We under, I wonder what it take to make this
Cops give a damn about a negro
It ain't right but it's long overdue
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
Is life worth living, should I blast myself
A bottle of juice is no excuse, the truth hurts
Ask Rodney, LaTasha, and many more

It's been goin' on for years, there's plenty more

And why must I sock a fella,
I see no changes, all I see is racist faces

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
Just think, if niggaz decide to retaliate
Move counties, get a lawyer, you can shake the shit
When your troops stop shootin' niggaz down in the street
And for the first time everybody let go
We ain't ready to have a black President, huh
In the hood bein' around the niggaz, yeah

Black people only hate police so don't try it

Pull a trigger, kill a nigger, he's a hero

If I die, I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
I want G's so you label me a criminal

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
'Cause some O.G. fools might blast you
Talk much shit, 'cause I never had shit
And even when you take the shit
I couldn't take it, had to make a profit
I wake up in the morning and I ask myself
It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact
One better place, let's erase the wait state
Makin G's was my mission
Take the evil out the people, they'll be acting right
I'd rather be dead than a po' nigga
And if I didn't pass, mama whupped my ass
Movin' enough of this shit to get my mama out the kitchen
Bear witness, own our own business

If you're not from the town then don't pass through
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
When they ask me, when will the violence cease?
Predicted the shit, in 2Pacalypse

You didn't listen, until the niggaz burned it down
'Cause both black and white are smokin' crack tonight
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
Let the Lord judge the criminals
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

The penitentiary's packed and it's filled with blacks
I was raised, the little young nigga doin' bad shit
And only time we deal is when we kill each other
And for once I was down with niggaz, felt good
I'm takin' from them 'cause for years they would take it from me
Word to God, 'cause it's hard tryin' to make ends meet
I could remember being whupped in class
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
I'm tired of being poor and even worse I'm black
So we loot, please don't shoot when you see

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
Broke out left me to be the man of the house
And I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
