Ghetto Story Chapter 3

[Intro: Akon (Baby Cham)]

And this is my story (True ghetto story)

And this is my story (Real ghetto story, Hey!)

[Verse 1: Akon]

See I was born poor like many men and didn't have nothin

Came to America try to make somethin out of somethin

You see we Africans we love huntin

Found my way up to the top like it wasn't nothin

And hooked up with some Puerto Ricans up in Jersey

We used to be called the Baldwin posse

Had it locked we zoned it up to Union City

And a couple of projects in New York City

[Verse 2: Baby Cham]

I remember those days when Hell was my home

When Me and Mama bed was a big piece a foam

An mi never like bathe and my hair never comb

When Mama gone a work me go street go roam

I remember when Danny dem tek me snow cone

An mek him likkle bredda dem kick up Jerome

I remember when we visit dem wid pure big stone

An the boy Danny pop out something weh full chrome

[Verse 3: Akon]

But cats know better than to play around me

And knew I kept the AK displayed around me

And I moved down to the A to find more cheese

And I found out cars make more than we

[Verse 4: Baby Cham]

I remember when we run, Fatta get him knee blown

An mi best friend Richie get, two inna him dome

I remember so the avenue tun inna warzone

An ,Mickey madda fly him out, cau she get a loan

But, Mickey go to foreign and go tun Al Capone

Mek whole heap a money and sen in our own

Now a we a lock the city and, that is well known

Yesterday Mickey call me pan mi phone

Mi say Mickey...

[Chorus: Baby Cham {Akon}]

Wi get di ting dem

Dem outta luck now

Mi squeeze seven and the whole a dem a duck now

Wi have whole heap a extra clip cau we nuh bruk now

(This a survival story, True ghetto story)

Rah...Rah..Rah...Rah

Wi get di ting dem, So dem haffi rate wi

{And this is my story, Akon story}

Cau we a tek it to them wicked of lately

And now the whole community a live greatly

(This a survival story, True ghetto story)

Rah...Rah..Rah...Rah

[Verse 5: Baby Cham]

I remember bout '80, Jamaica explode

When a Trinity and Tony Hewitt dem a run road

That a long before Laing dem and even Bigga Ford

When Adams dem a Corporal nuh know the road code

I remember when we rob the chiney shop down the road

An rumour have it sey the chiney man have a sword

But we did have a one pop wey make outta board

So you know the next day mama pot Overlooaad

[Verse 6: Akon]

How could that be? Chop shops in the city call me the ring lead

Never thought I flee, some how the Po' Po' still caught up with me

But then I got locked up, then while we shacked up

Focused on locked up, then they let me out but

Two years later my brother Screw got shot up

And got the whole block royal like now what

[Verse 7: Baby Cham]

Jamaica get screw, tru greed an glutton

Politics manipulate and press yutes button

But we rich now ,so dem caan tell man notin

Cuz a we a mek Mama a nyaam Fish an Mutton..Ehhhh

Ova dehso mek mi tell unnu some'in...

Tru mi dey a foreign now a guy kill me cousin

An mi here sey TD deh dey but him sey he wasnt

Anytime mi fly down him a get bout dozen... Cause...

[Chorus: Baby Cham {Akon}]

Wi get di ting dem

Dem outta luck now

Mi squeeze seven and the whole a dem a duck now

Wi have whole heap a extra clip cau we nuh bruk now

(This a survival story, True ghetto story)

Rah...Rah..Rah...Rah

Wi get di ting dem, So dem haffi rate wi

{And this is my story, Akon story}

Cau we a tek it to them wicked of lately

And now the whole community a live greatly

(This a survival story, True ghetto story)

Rah...Rah..Rah...Rah
