Lyrics
And that's just how it is when you grow up in the ghetto And that's just how it is when you grow up in the ghetto And that's just how it is when you grow up in the ghetto And that's just how it is when you grow up in the ghetto And that's the way that it is, when you coming from nothing And you gotta tote a gun and die young where I'm from He was only 15 when they took a kid life And don't a day go by, I don't remember the night Another black mom crying, wiping tears from her eyes Wonder why so young her own son had to die Why his dad ain't around? 'Cause he ain't give him no time I can tell how he feel reminiscing 'bout mine Another chance at life, it would only be right But he made his first mistake and the judge gave him life Another man from his family tryna earn for his son Now his daddy ain't home, gotta grow up on his own But it's the way of the world, and the way that it go Will it get better? How I'm living I probably won't know 'Cause by then I'll be gone Yeah I know right from wrong But when you grow up in the ghetto This the way that it go, so And that's just how it is when you grow up in the ghetto And that's just how it is when you grow up in the ghetto And that's just how it is when you grow up in the ghetto And that's just how it is when you grow up in the ghetto Single mothers raise their children with no father at home Young boys growing up with no guidance, all alone Start going down the wrong road, ain't no turning back 'Cause when you jump off that porch, taken by God or be strapped You do that gangster sh*t once, you in it for life What goes around, comes around you'll be paying that price From whatever it is, that's the way that it is Take a risk with they lives not caring if they live Putting down the books, just to load up guns Hoop dreams out the window so they grow up to be thugs A legend's what they wanna be, don't grow up to be much Most the love ain't real so I'm showing no love If you care about your life then keep your enemies close 'Cause if you don't next thing you know, you'll be considered a ghost And no that sh*t ain't that easy, consider it smoke You take a life, you lose a life, that's just the way that it go In the ghetto And that's just how it is when you grow up in the ghetto And that's just how it is when you grow up in the ghetto And that's just how it is when you grow up in the ghetto And that's just how it is when you grow up in the ghetto I'm from the sh*tty city, where n*ggas is born to die And if you choose to gangbang then you're sworn to ride See at a early age, n*ggas make you choose the sides It's called survival and only the strong survive See I can talk you through it, walk you through it, let you see But I don't really know if you gon' see as G as me These lifelong lessons, with the street sh*t These ghetto politics, cuh that's some deep sh*t One n*gga made it out, two n*ggas shot him down Three mamas crying now, all of them lying down These preachers praying now, and y'all still playing around Twenty five in the game and I'm still staying down With my ethic and my code which is ghetto Which afforded me to win four medals And settle down with my wife Ghetto fabulous life Yeah that's right Double me up, I do it twice Nice, that's how we do it my n*gga And that's just how it is when you grow up in the ghetto And that's just how it is when you grow up in the ghetto And that's just how it is when you grow up in the ghetto And that's just how it is when you grow up in the ghetto
