Kid from the ghetto

Kiddie from the city

Now growin' up as a kid in the ghetto

There wasn't no horses no lake or no meadow

And I bet you'll find it hard for you

To settle

In the house I was Edward on the streets

My name was Edo

My pops passed fast when I was just about 8

All of my success is to my mother

God bless her and thanks

For raisin' me the right way without

The help of my dad

All of the role models I had today

Are in the rehab

As I got older I got bolder

My hands got bigger and now it's time

For me to hold a

38 or any kind of gun

And just wait for a sucker to start some

I'm in my freshman year in a gang actin' naughty

Me and Brett was rollin' ball for his older brother Donnie

But both of us were scared so we gave

It to little Jay

Because he kept on sayin' that pumped

Around his way

But at that time I thought the sh*t was cool

We used to every day after school

And get drunk at nights and go start

More fights

If it was wrong then

We did it we couldn't do nothin' right

Now I'm still in the gang I think my posse's no joke

Until our first gang fight then everybody broke

Except for five of us it's a wonder we survived the rush

'Cause we was outnumbered so

We had to think fast

We did the sensible thing and that was to haul a**

Now I'm out of the gang but ain't nothin' changed

Sometimes I walk around the way and everything's still the same

Except for Easter me Glen and little James

Met up with the posse and it felt kinda strange

Because everyone was mad cryin' no laughin'

And then I said

What's up yo tell me

What happened

Then someobdy said Lee's dead I'm thinkin'

D**n no way I seen him earlier today

Now that's f**ked up and in my body rage

Struck up

And I was with it to get the n**gas who did it

But we didn't make a move that night to go ill

And that's when I seriously said it's time to chill

I don't have no enemies but

Some of the people might not like me

But that's not a reason for you to wanna fight me

But that's the way it is and that's word to the Edo

'Cause that's the life of a kid in the ghetto

Kid from the ghetto

Yo yo

Kid from the ghetto kiddie from the city

Kid from the ghetto

Yo yo

Kid from the ghetto kiddie from the city

Kid from the ghetto

Yo yo

Kid from the ghetto kiddie from the city

Kid from the ghetto

Kiddie from the city
