Artist: Scarface f/ B. James, Monk Kaza Album: Dopeman Music Song: The Ghetto Report Typed by: jostmatt at bluewin dot ch [ Scarface ] This for my niggas doin life in the trap Stayin focused, tryina double they paper and give it back To the hood where they come from, cause niggas need a boost Cause the opportunities in these ghettos are minimal It's pitiful how they got me doin time For a crime that I ain't never committed, the bottomline Is I'm a black man, so my s-k-i-n is my s-i-n And unless I win I'll be headed to a cell in the pen And when I come home, I go right back in Shit, it's like the hood has got a heartless soul that's cold These little children die before they old The situations make a nigga feel as useless as he is The president's recruitin all the kids Dyin for a country that he know ain't even his And mama loses sleep and shed tears [ CHORUS 2X ] Open your ears all my niggas, this is street news Broadcastin live from the ghetto, this is street blues Where niggas dyin every day in the streets, fool Yeah we on the grind cause our kids gotta eat too [ B. James ] I grew up with a dollar and a dream Strap the silencer on the beam if you try to intervene The school of hard knocks, all the scholars turn to fiends No jobs in the city, all we got is triple beams A dirty game, niggas'll rob you on your team Police'll set you up and every hour it's a sting Young niggas lose they life just tryina get some bling My last name James, so I gotta be a king Disrespectin the fam and suffer the repercussion If you ain't talkin money, my nigga, end of discussion MOB for life, so tell these bitches it's nothin Don't even come around if you ain't givin me nothin I live like a boss with thoughts of a made man You tryina get laid, man, I'm tryina get paid, man We hustle in the snow and watch for the Raybans So them pretty boy dudes get popped in they wave, man Amen [ CHORUS 2X ] [ Monk Kaza ] Yeah, since I was born entire life has been a struggle Only got two choices - either starve or you hustle See, I know what it's like to be broke, man Trust me, dog, I know what it's like to be po', man I need help to control this hunger The streets keep callin, how the fuck they get this number? Gotta grind through the rain and thunder That's why I feel it's forever street blues till the day that I'm under But it gotta be a way out, the plan'd been laid out It's takin forever, dog, it's feelin like a stake-out No more short cuts, focus on the straight route It's been too long, man, it's time for me to break out Do it for my fam cause I'm the one they depend on As long as I'm alive you got a shoulder to lean on I got a lotta love cause my team strong And fate on my side, so I continue to dream on Till then [ CHORUS 2X ]
