Gh€ttØ Living

by Angelicious1   Dec 29, 2004


So much drama living here,
Hells pretty near,
It's like a game,
Either you win or you loose,
But theres a catch,
You can't choose,
You gotta just roll the dice,
Spin the spinner,
hope and pray you come out a winner,

It's hard just trying to get by,
Either your selling drugs,
Or praying not to die,

And It's a hard living when you gang bang,
You do one thing wrong,
And your so-called friends began to slang,

Theres such a fear,
When you turn to someone to talk to,
Yea they hear,
But they don't understand,
It's like Your in your own little world,
Trying to be tough,
Be a man,

A wrong deal can turn into death,
Watch them take their last breath,
Your Moms,
Your Dad,
Baby Sister...shit they could care less,
They'll kill them all if they get the chance,
Even in front of your face,
If they get the glance,

Neighborhood filled with nothin but strangers,
You call them your friends,
But they're the reason for all the dangers,

Shootings constantly
People Dying...Crying...
Next victim...Could be you or me,

The homes here are trash,
Mixed enemies clash and they began to thrash,
Broke and so you sell your hash,
Just ta get a lil cash,
You see the cops and you began to dash,

Theres never any money or any food,
Moms always complaining cause you being rude,
Dads trying really hard to get through to you,
But you never let him into your life,
You don't want them knowing what is true,

People talk a lot of shit around this place,
Murder after Murder,
Everyday Investigators get anotha case,

You don't wanna sell drugs,
You don't wanna mean-mug,
You really don't,
But ya "boys" will never understand,
No they wont,

It's a constant struggle,
Theres no leavin,
It's like your in this bubble,
You can't excape,
You can't leave,
Surprised that I still breathe

It used to be just beer runs,
Just for fun,
But now they got you doing drive-bys Just to scare everyone,
Theres no fun in that,
Everyone looks at you like you some kind of hoodrat,

You don't wanna live this way,
Your scared you'll die one day,
Or the cops will find out your dirt,
Then ya crews gonna make sure you hurt...

If you'vee never lived it,
You'll never know,
Just be glad you didn't live a life like mine though.
To all the rest,
I pray your blessed,
And Wish for the best

DEDICATED:::To my Brother Richard
