Welcome To The Ghetto (Main Version - Clean)

Welcome to the ghetto

Living day by day in my hood on the spot

See the same old things same dope fiends, cops

Just an average day in the streets of California

Five O find a young girl dead around the corner

Mommy's on her knees she had tears in her eyes

And nobody knew why the young girl had to die

People look ashamed it's been like this for years

Bloody sheets on her body, face wet from her mama's tears

She coulda' been over four or five

And if mommy wasn't based she would still be alive

But now the street is a place you could be swallowed by death

Brothas taking each other's lives

And going to rest in peace

I wonder if heaven got a ghetto

My cousin died last year

And I still can't let go

I walk the streets of my city of my neighborhood

Seeing dope fiends living off canned goods

15 niggas on the corner

And niggas die young in California

Five O will get a dope case and flaunt it

Have your ass on "America's Most Wanted"

But I don't slang or either gangbang

And though my old school homies do the same thang

I still got love cause you gotta live

So you can give

And raise a family G

But you gotta do your best slanging D-O-P-E

So keep a grip on yourself and stay mellow

And welcome to the ghetto

Make me wanna holler, they way they do my life

Welcome to the ghetto

Make me wanna holler, they way they do my life

Welcome to the ghetto

Make me wanna holler, they way they do my life

Welcome to the ghetto

From across the seas comes cocaine

But you never seen a black man fly the plane

Look at the news a young black death

Was it drug related, take a guess

I flash when I look in the mirror black

Cause my reflection is a nine millimeter gat

I think about genocide

And have thoughts of my homies who died

Everybody backstabbing

But I ain't the one to talk I'm into gaffling

Death gives a shit about your color

But yet I see mo dead young brothas

I'm goin crazy out here

Seein 24 brothas die by the end of the year

And I still gotta deal with the Five O

And I stopped sellin dope in Nine O

But if I came to it

I probably still do it

Put a Nine in my draws get straight to it

I hope that I never see the day

That I get 20 years for a cake

B-K-A as a key

So open up the door for the mo money

But I ain't gotta do that G

Cause I'm down with the F-A to the C to the U to the L-T-Y

G-nut X-tra Large and S-P-I-C-E make niggas feel like jello

And welcome to the ghetto

Make me wanna holler, they way they do my life

Welcome to the ghetto

Make me wanna holler, they way they do my life

Welcome to the ghetto

Make me wanna holler, they way they do my life

Welcome to the ghetto

Make me wanna holler, they way they do my life

Welcome to the ghetto

Welcome to the ghetto

Welcome to the ghetto

Welcome to the ghetto

Welcome to the ghetto

Welcome to the ghetto

Welcome to the ghetto

Welcome to the ghetto
