Ghetto Burbs

Always had big dreams

Everybody had big dreams though

I never wanna stay here, I had no intentions

And I have had no plans

Live my life,

Gotta know how to survive

Just can't hide

'Cause these streets will eat you alive, (ghetto burbs)

'Cause I'm from two different worlds, (ghetto burbs)

Coming from these ghetto burbs.

Yo yo, ghetto burbs I'm from the ghetto with Jerz

From where the pedal is served

Use hand, justice for words

Pick up the LA, they was ahead of the curb

My hooey gang bang

You could get left from the curb

Yea I was raised here, but I'm tryna export

Police is crook yea, the strippers is escorts

Like my homey Layla, really I can't knock her

'Cause she getting paper, month ago she was knocked up

Baby daddy your dope boy, fresh homey was locked up

But he on the same shit, fucked around and got shot up

You mind saying mind, I'm like why he even bother

At the same time don't know what he was a part of

And Layla over the casket, see this coming harder

The hood went again, another summon the father

Gotta take it astride, round here it's the usual

But I ain't accustomed, that shit I can't get used to

I'm tryna survive

Live my life,

Gotta know how to survive

Just can't hide

'Cause these streets will eat you alive, (ghetto burbs)

'Cause I'm in two different worlds, (ghetto burbs)

Coming from these ghetto burbs.

Yo, ghetto burbs I'm from the ghetto with Jerz

From where the ghetto's disturbed, you can be dead and not heard

Say you're predaly, and ended with better or worse

I lost faith but grandma still keep her head up in church

Murder is sky high, employment is real low

Little kid tryna rap, but will he get a deal? No

'Cause poverty kills slow, belief is beyond you

7-9'er every 10 bitches here got the monster like my lil homey Tania

I met her in freak nik, freak yea

The same bitch the niggas be all out in the street with

Open, in love with the service

But she got resentment, she won't see from the surface

So like so many women look right so she worship

Caught aids from rape and thought her whole life was worthless

Hoe couldn't know how gorgeous her curbs is

She fuckin em raw and hope they catch it on purpose

You better survive

Live my life,

Gotta know how to survive

Just can't hide

The streets will eat you alive, (ghetto burbs)

'Cause I'm from two different worlds, (ghetto burbs)

Coming from these ghetto burbs.

Ghetto burbs I'm from the ghetto with Jerz

I ain't tryna act like my part of the ghetto's the worst

Niggas is pricks here, they'll buy stilettos for birds

How did I get here? They act like the men who don't hurt

Dude just getting high, guess they tryna escape it

Won't commit suicide, assuming they couldn't take it

The streets is cold, still we runnin round naked

Success is avoid and we replace it with hatred

That's your homey from way back, from showing the years oh

The friends turnin green even that after we're old

You thinking kid? No, values to sheer clothes

Now you struggle for rent and he got ice in his ear lobes

Your man won't even extend a hand, meeting all his career goals

You need a whole nother plan, your career's broke

Valuables are more valuable than everything, even value the dudes

'Cause you gotta survive

Live my life,

Gotta know how to survive

Just can't hide

These streets will eat you alive, (ghetto burbs)

'Cause I'm in two different worlds, (ghetto burbs)

Coming from these ghetto burbs.

I'm from the ghetto burbs

Gotta know how to survive

Streets eat you up

Coming from the ghetto burbs

Said the streets eat you alive, alive yea yea yea

Coming from the ghetto burbs yea
