I was born and raised in the ghetto |
|
Talk with me and you'll know |
|
I wasn't satisfied with living on the side |
|
I started looking around for a possibility |
|
But listen to my story, of what became of me |
|
I met a businessman |
|
Who said he got some friends back |
|
East Said, "Why don't you come along? Well we could help you atleast" "Make you into a big star By playing your guitar" |
|
But the joke was on me |
|
They left me flat to see |
|
Going back |
|
West (Going back West) |
|
Yes I know, |
|
I'll make out alright |
|
Going back |
|
West (Going back West) |
|
Where my music's playing all night |
|
Going back |
|
West (Going back West) |
|
Think I'll do alright |
|
Struggling for recognition, identity and respect |
|
I got a lot of promises, they told me not to fret |
|
Said, "We will stand by you If the going gets rough" |
|
But when I started sinking |
|
They didn't even bluff |
|
Going back |
|
West (Going back West) |
|
Yes I know, |
|
I'll make out alright |
|
Going back |
|
West (Going back West) |
|
Where my music's playing all night |
|
Going back |
|
West (Going back West) |
|
I think, I'll do alright ' |
|
Bout a year has come and gone |
|
And left me standing here |
|
Thinking how it could have been ' |
|
Cause still |
|
I ain't nowhere |
|
They surely took me for a ride |
|
Trampled on my pride |
|
But I'll hold my head up high |
|
Got no more tears to cry |
|
Going back |
|
West (Going back West) |
|
Yes I know, |
|
I'll make out alright |
|
Going back |
|
West (Going back West) |
|
Where my music's playing all night |
|
Going back |
|
West (Going back West) |
|
I think, I'll do alright |
|
Going back |
|
West (Going back West) |
|
Yes I know |
|
I'll make out alright |
|
Going back |
|
West (Going back West) |
|
Where my music's playing all night |
|
Going back |
|
West (Going back West) |
|
Think, I'll do alright |
