Artist: BJ the Chicago Kid f/ Kendrick Lamar Album: Pineapple Now-Laters Song: The World Is a Ghetto Typed by: newos_crib_is@hotmail.com [Intro] "Kids is what make me feel so good See you looking at the glory that's coming up into the future of life See the younger youth is what's gonna make everything to keep going after I done passed down the hill" "Young and black" [Chorus: BJ the Chicago Kid] Don't you know, that's it's true that for me, and for you the world is a ghetto Don't you know, don't you know, that's it's true that for me, and for you the world is a ghetto [Interlude] "Then there's a lot of funky things, in this country and there's good things too But our rights are more funky than you good Shit ain't getting better!" "We've changed some for the best An awful lot of cases for the worst and some have not changed at all" [BJ the Chicago Kid] Walking down the street, foggy-eyed Looking at the sky, starry-eyed Searching for a place, weary eyes Crying in the night, yeah, yeah, teary-eyed [Chorus] [Interlude] "Dude, we got to get our minds together" "Any time a brother was shot by another brother in his own neighborhood then go to his funeral and turn over his own casket, they need to have the police down there Cause see, the niggas is N.A.A.C.P. and Niggas ain't acting like colored people" "If I can't work and make it, I steal and take it" "(sample incomprehensible) ...if a nigga can put air in a bottle and sell it, he'll do it man A nigga can sell anything, I ain't gon' lie" [Kendrick Lamar] As I watched the sky change colors the rain flooded the neighborhoods of the black brothers The black mothers are stressing, the coroners have covered Another statistic, episodes of a cold summer The street runners got the same legs as Michael Johnson The fast life surpassed life beyond the conscience Profanity in the air, the children use the content The vanity's in the air, that Louis bag haunted That black girl with the hair that's kind of coarse Her baby daddy's in court, she smoking on a Newport Seventeen with dreams of becoming a stripper or becoming an AIDS victim while touching them zippers The life that we living in, things we would do just to live again How can an angel forever live in sin? [Chorus 2X] [Outro] "You know, well anybody that uses somebody else to gain is pimping" "Okay, well I'ma tell you what soul brother, lookie here Can't nobody pimp you but your pimp-ass self, you understand?" "Then there's a lot of funky things, in this country and there's good things too But our rights are more funky than you good Shit ain't getting better!" "We've changed some for the best An awful lot of cases for the worst and some have not changed at all"
