Hit the block Lexus truck slangin ice cream
A million records sold , thats why yall know P
Came up on hard times tryin to make ends
2 stones to my n***as thats dead and in the pen
The ghetto won't change , they label me the dope man
I slang raps but the feds think its cocaine
Tap my phone , these hoes won't leave me alone
N***a gon legit , so stay off the ding dong
Independent , thats why they hate me
A million man ghetto march for Master P
So fuck rap pages ( dont know )
Yall didn't want to see a n***a make it off the streets
Thats why you'll never see P on MTV
Top 40 , but n***as yall know me
Number 1 in every mom and pop and billboard record store
So fuck yall playa hatin hoes
Gimme a pen , a pad , and ill make a hit
Show every n***a in the ghetto how to get rich
Cause yall dont know what go on behind closed doors
White folks pimp n***as like hoes
But tru n***as , say fuck that
You owe me money , its time to meet the chrome gat
I got the drank , finna tomorrow I take a piss test
And I know my probs. want me to go back
An ex-con addicted to gangsta rhymes
Last year I caught a bullet but it wasn't mine
Time to go n***a on dead row , or should I say im stuck in the ghetto
Chorus:
(2x) Just a ghetto thang , a ghetto thang , you would understand if you
Was
From the ghetto man
(1x)its a ghetto thang , a ghetto thang , these n***as got me caught up in
This ghetto thang

Silk:

See I ain't got no money up in my pocket
How the fuck ima stop it
Ima get the Glock and cock and plug you like a socket
See game get deeper but yall dont feel me
Telling me to gets up out the game , get a job
I shouldn't rob a n***a , I might kill yah
See up on the block I rides deep on gold thangs
These n***as be trippin up on my shit and they'll jack you like it ain't no
Thang
See im from the city where n***as be salty and they stay faulty like wires
And I ain't seen a gangsta retire yet
On a bet , threw my cothes up on the floor and I sweat
Trust nobody cause these n***as today will smoke you like a cigarette
Now bet , rest in peace to all homies that didn't make it
Took life for granted , an I panic while seeing n***as with ski masks
We blast with ski masks and bust a cap into they weak ass
Everyday struggle and I stay hustlin like a pan handler
Fuck it if I took a chance to get dead like cancer
I betta not chance it
Slik , just another n***a tryin to make it up out the ghetto
(Chorus)

Big Ed:

Got a hold on me , jealous fools wanna roll on me
Will I die or will god just let me be
Fufill the prophecy reach my destiny avoid the burial plot
Unlive the ones that got popped
I got a son but she says that it isnt mine
Im 24 and since birth ive served hard time
In this concrete jungle , a war zone , many of my peers die
Finally made it back home
Self preservation is a thing for me
Duckin and dodgin bullets stone faces on the ones who pulled it
I promise my mama I wouldn't die before she did
I got my life right got my wife and then my kids
But everywhere I look I see sadness
Imagine tryin to raise your babies in this worldwide madness

(chorus) 6x
