Ghetto (Remix) - Akon (阿肯)/The Notorious B.I.G./2Pac (图派克)

Written by：Aliaune "Akon" Thiam/B. Darius

Ghetto Ghetto Ghetto Ghetto we livin

I know how it feel to wake up f**ked up

Pockets broke as hell

Another rock to sell

People look at you like youse the user

Selling *** to all the losers

Mad buddha abuser

But they don't know about

Your stress-filled day

Baby on the way mad bills to pay

That's why you drink Tanqueray;

So you can reminisce

And wish you wasn't livin

So devilish ssshit

I remember I was just like you

Smokin blunts with my crew

Flippin over 62's

Cause G-E-D wasn't B-I-G

I had to get P-A-I-D

That's why my moms hate me

She was forced to kick me out no doubt

Then I figured out licks went

For twenty down South

Packed up my tools for

My raw power move

Glock nineteen for casket

And flower moves

For chumps tryin to stop my flow

And what they don't know

Will show on the autopsy

Went to see Papi to cop me a brick

Asked for some consignment

And he wasn't tryin to hear it

Smoking mad Newport's cause

I'm due in court

For an assault that I caught

In Bridgeport New York

Catch me if you can like

The Gingerbread Man

You better have your gat in hand

Cause man

you betta have your gat in

Hand cause man

Ghetto Ghetto Ghetto Ghetto we livin

Our lifestyles be close captioned

Addicted to fatal attractions

Pictures of actions be played back

In the midst of mashin'

No fairy tales for this young black male

Some see me stranded in this

Land of hell jail and crack sales

Hustlin' and heart be a

Ni**a culture or the

Repercutions while bustin'

On backstabbin' vultures

Sellin' my soul for material wishes

Fast cars and b**ches

Wishin' I live my life a legend

Immortalized in pictures

Why shed tears Save your sympathy

My childhood years were spent

Buryin' my peers in the cemetary

Here's a message to the newborns

Waitin' to breathe

If you believe then you can achieve

Just look at me

Against all odds though life

Is hard we carry on

Livin' in the projects

Broke with no lights on

To all the seeds that follow me

Protect your essence

Born with less

But you still precious

Ghetto Ghetto Ghetto

Ghetto we livin

Gun shots every night in the (ghetto)

Crooked cops on sight in the (ghetto)

Every day is a fight in the (ghetto)

(oh oh oh oh oh) (ghetto)

Got kids to feed in the (ghetto)

Selling coke and w**d in the (ghetto)

Every day somebody

Bleed in the (ghetto)

(oh oh oh oh oh) (ghetto)

I had the master plan

I'm in the caravan on my

Way to Maryland

With my man Two-Tecs to take

Over this projects

They call him Two-Tecs

He tote two tecs

And when he start to bust he

Like to ask Who's next

At last I'm literally loungin black

Sittin back countin double

Digit thousand stacks

See who got smoked

What rumors was spread

Last I heard I was dead

Ghetto Ghetto Ghetto

Ghetto we livin

Living in the (ghetto) oh

Eating in the (ghetto) or

Sleeping in the (ghetto ghetto)

Thats the life when ur

Living in the (ghetto)oh

Eating in the (ghetto) or

Sleeping in the (ghetto ghetto ghetto)

It's a funny thing

I kinda realized how powerful 2pac

And i was u kno what i'm

Saying cuz pac is a strong dude

Yo i kno him we two individual

People we waged a coastal

Beef but even tho we were

Going thru our drama i would

Never wish death on nobody

Cuz there aint no comin bac
