| [00:02.469][Intro:] |
|
| [00:06.518] |
Always had big dreams |
| [00:11.298] |
Everybody had big dreams though |
| [00:16.288] |
I never wanna stay here, I had no intentions |
| [00:21.042] |
And I have had no plans |
| [00:22.113][Chorus:] |
|
| [00:24.673] |
Live my life, |
| [00:28.173] |
Gotta know how to survive |
| [00:30.211] |
Just can't hide |
| [00:33.894] |
'Cause these streets will eat you alive, |
| [00:35.462] |
ghetto burbs |
| [00:38.988] |
'Cause I'm from two different worlds, |
| [00:40.869] |
ghetto burbs |
| [00:44.343] |
Coming from these ghetto burbs. |
| [00:46.198][Verse 1:] |
|
| [00:46.590] |
Yo yo, ghetto burbs I'm from the ghetto with Jerz |
| [00:48.262] |
From where the pedal is served |
| [00:49.646] |
Use hand, justice for words |
| [00:51.004] |
Pick up the LA, they was ahead of the curb |
| [00:53.773] |
My hooey gang bang |
| [00:55.027] |
You could get left from the curb |
| [00:56.516] |
Yea I was raised here, but I'm tryna export |
| [00:59.129] |
Police is crook yea, the strippers is escorts |
| [01:01.819] |
Like my homey Layla, really I can't knock her |
| [01:04.562] |
'Cause she getting paper, month ago she was knocked up |
| [01:07.409] |
Baby daddy your **** boy, fresh homey was locked up |
| [01:10.126] |
But he on the same shit, ****ed around and got shot up |
| [01:12.634] |
You mind saying mind, I'm like why he even bother |
| [01:15.246] |
At the same time don't know what he was a part of |
| [01:18.015] |
And Layla over the casket, see this coming harder |
| [01:20.758] |
The hood went again, another summon the father |
| [01:23.501] |
Gotta take it astride, round here it's the usual |
| [01:26.296] |
But I ain't accustomed, that shit I can't get used to |
| [01:29.300] |
I'm tryna survive |
| [01:30.005][Chorus:] |
|
| [01:30.371] |
Live my life, |
| [01:33.323] |
Gotta know how to survive |
| [01:35.569] |
Just can't hide |
| [01:38.809] |
'Cause these streets will eat you alive, |
| [01:40.898] |
ghetto burbs |
| [01:44.242] |
'Cause I'm in two different worlds, |
| [01:46.358] |
ghetto burbs |
| [01:49.728] |
Coming from these ghetto burbs. |
| [01:51.530][Verse 2:] |
|
| [01:51.844] |
Yo, ghetto burbs I'm from the ghetto with Jerz |
| [01:53.803] |
From where the ghetto's disturbed, you can be dead and not heard |
| [01:56.493] |
Say you're predaly, and ended with better or worse |
| [01:59.236] |
I lost faith but grandma still keep her head up in church |
| [02:01.927] |
Murder is sky high, employment is real low |
| [02:04.591] |
Little kid tryna rap, but will he get a deal? No |
| [02:07.282] |
'Cause poverty kills slow, belief is beyond you |
| [02:10.051] |
7-9'er every 10 ******* here got the monster like my lil homey Tania |
| [02:14.152] |
I met her in freak nik, freak yea |
| [02:16.190] |
The same ***** the *****s be all out in the street with |
| [02:18.750] |
Open, in love with the service |
| [02:20.918] |
But she got resentment, she won't see from the surface |
| [02:23.478] |
So like so many women look right so she worship |
| [02:26.221] |
Caught aids from rape and thought her whole life was worthless |
| [02:28.911] |
Hoe couldn't know how gorgeous her curbs is |
| [02:31.680] |
She ****in em raw and hope they catch it on purpose |
| [02:34.580] |
You better survive |
| [02:35.442][Chorus:] |
|
| [02:35.886] |
Live my life, |
| [02:38.916] |
Gotta know how to survive |
| [02:40.876] |
Just can't hide |
| [02:44.245] |
The streets will eat you alive, |
| [02:47.772] |
ghetto burbs |
| [02:49.809] |
'Cause I'm from two different worlds |
| [02:52.918] |
ghetto burbs |
| [02:55.191] |
Coming from these ghetto burbs. |
| [02:57.254][Verse 3:] |
|
| [02:57.751] |
Ghetto burbs I'm from the ghetto with Jerz |
| [02:59.370] |
I ain't tryna act like my part of the ghetto's the worst |
| [03:01.982] |
*****s is *****s here, they'll buy stilettos for birds |
| [03:04.647] |
How did I get here? They act like the men who don't hurt |
| [03:07.468] |
Dude just getting high, guess they tryna escape it |
| [03:10.080] |
Won't commit suicide, assuming they couldn't take it |
| [03:12.588] |
The streets is cold, still we runnin round naked |
| [03:15.383] |
Success is avoid and we replace it with hatred |
| [03:18.152] |
That's your homey from way back, from showing the years oh |
| [03:20.869] |
The friends turnin green even that after we're old |
| [03:23.769] |
You thinking kid? No, values to sheer clothes |
| [03:26.459] |
Now you struggle for rent and he got ice in his ear lobes |
| [03:29.019] |
Your man won't even extend a hand, meeting all his career goals |
| [03:32.676] |
You need a whole nother plan, your career's broke |
| [03:35.471] |
Valuables are more valuable than everything, even value the dudes |
| [03:40.069] |
'Cause you gotta survive |
| [03:40.931][Chorus: x2] |
|
| [03:41.767] |
Live my life, |
| [03:44.353] |
Gotta know how to survive |
| [03:46.678] |
Just can't hide |
| [03:49.813] |
These streets will eat you alive, |
| [03:53.548] |
ghetto burbs |
| [03:55.298] |
'Cause I'm in two different worlds |
| [03:57.989] |
ghetto burbs |
| [04:00.732] |
Coming from these ghetto burbs. |
| [04:20.062][Outro:] |
|
| [04:30.616] |
I'm from the ghetto burbs |
| [04:41.431] |
Gotta know how to survive |
| [04:45.114] |
Streets eat you up |
| [04:52.010] |
Coming from the ghetto burbs |
| [04:57.809] |
Said the streets eat you alive, alive yea yea yea |
| [05:15.547] |
Coming from the ghetto burbs yea |
