Lil' Ghetto Boy

Now, I'm 'trolling the dove, sitting on swoll
What me see from the streets
Save your money, quit payin' motherfuckers with jheri curls
Quit payin' motherfuckers with perms
What'cha gonna do when you grow up
But it ain't no thing to me
Lil' ghetto boy

I used to be the same way back

Are the ones I get wit 'cause I'm down respect trip
So ain't no need for your mama to trip
How a nigga so young could bust a cap
What'cha gonna do when you grow up
Save your money, start your own business
Them say me grow up to be nuttin'
I am what I am it's only me
Murder was the case that they gave me
Playing in the ghetto streets
Seven young G's but they serve down
Lil' ghetto boy
But that's the life of a G, I guess
Me learn many things of
Late nights, I wonder what they getting fo'?

Getting a rep as a young hog
It's a ride if I don't scrap, I'm getting stuck

I fell to the ground with blood on my hands
The little homies from the hood wit grip

So make all them ends you can make
Ese's way deep, shanked two in they chest
Bouncing off the walls, throwing them dogs
What'cha gonna do when you grow up

Look at me now what do you see

27 years old, off on parole, stroll
Something for the real O.G.'s to get wit
Some facts made our made now you wanna run and play

And we expose ways for the youth to survive

Didn't know he had a 22
Like every single day, really doe, you know me
I didn't understand
Dear God, I wonder can you save me?
Uhh too late, damn, down goes another nigga

For trying to jack the little homies for they grip

Playing in the ghetto streets
The outcome of what I come to be

I'm only 18 so I'm a young buck
Playing in the ghetto streets
I'm the smooth macadamien, gaming them for my homie
'Cause you's a hustling ass youngsta clocking your grip
So I guess I gots the handle mine
I spent four years in the county wit nuttin' but convicts around me
Lil' ghetto boy
'Cause now I'm what they call a loced-assed O.G.
I grabed his pockets and then I heard six caps
For this little African right here to have a future
In a jeep ride, east side what they swerve now
'Cause when you're broke you break, check it out
Bests run 'cause brothers is dropping quicker
Still an O.G. for life
And now me life as you can see

And learning just enough to keep your sack right
And always remain to be
I guess that's what I get
That I'm making as soon as I touch the street
And you true Africans, will have put hundreds to work
Since I did the crime, I gots ta do my time
Some think it's wrong but we tend to think it's right
Wake up, jumped out my bed
Remember they used to thump but now they blast, right
Hung in a two man cell wit my homie Lil' 1/2 Dead

But now I'm back at the pound

This is our future right here, this our future right here
Straight sitting behind his back
Early morning on the corners, what they hitting fo'?

Not thinking about what's really going on
No need to be uncalm if you pack right
Nigga, I'm bigger than you, so what'cha wanna do?
Things done changed but it's alright
I'm a dead motherfucker
Got crept on, stepped on now they gone
It ain't nuttin' like the street life
And have to face responsibility?
And have to face responsibility?
You betta be strapped wit yo shank 'cuz ain't no fist fight
I'm back up on my feet wit my mind on the money
Hey, I'ma tell you right now, if, if, if I have to die today
