| Always had big dreams
|
| Everybody had big dreams though
|
| I never wanna stay here, I had no intentions
|
| And I have had no plans
|
| Live my life,
|
| Gotta know how to survive
|
| Just can’t hide
|
| 'Cause these streets will eat you alive, (ghetto burbs)
|
| 'Cause I’m from two different worlds, (ghetto burbs)
|
| Coming from these ghetto burbs.
|
| Yo yo, ghetto burbs I’m from the ghetto with Jerz
|
| From where the pedal is served
|
| Use hand, justice for words
|
| Pick up the LA, they was ahead of the curb
|
| My hooey gang bang
|
| You could get left from the curb
|
| Yea I was raised here, but I’m tryna export
|
| Police is crook yea, the strippers is escorts
|
| Like my homey Layla, really I can’t knock her
|
| 'Cause she getting paper, month ago she was knocked up
|
| Baby daddy your dope boy, fresh homey was locked up
|
| But he on the same shit, fucked around and got shot up
|
| You mind saying mind, I’m like why he even bother
|
| At the same time don’t know what he was a part of
|
| And Layla over the casket, see this coming harder
|
| The hood went again, another summon the father
|
| Gotta take it astride, round here it’s the usual
|
| But I ain’t accustomed, that shit I can’t get used to
|
| I’m tryna survive
|
| Live my life,
|
| Gotta know how to survive
|

|
| 'Cause I’m in two different worlds, (ghetto burbs)
|
| Coming from these ghetto burbs.
|
| Yo, ghetto burbs I’m from the ghetto with Jerz
|
| From where the ghetto’s disturbed, you can be dead and not heard
|
| Say you’re predaly, and ended with better or worse
|
| I lost faith but grandma still keep her head up in church
|
| Murder is sky high, employment is real low
|
| Little kid tryna rap, but will he get a deal? |
| No
|
| 'Cause poverty kills slow, belief is beyond you
|
| 7−9'er every 10 bitches here got the monster like my lil homey Tania
|
| I met her in freak nik, freak yea
|
| The same bitch the niggas be all out in the street with
|
| Open, in love with the service
|
| But she got resentment, she won’t see from the surface
|
| So like so many women look right so she worship
|
| Caught aids from rape and thought her whole life was worthless
|
| Hoe couldn’t know how gorgeous her curbs is
|
| She fuckin em raw and hope they catch it on purpose
|
| You better survive
|
| Live my life,
|
| Gotta know how to survive
|
| Just can’t hide

|
| 'Cause I’m from two different worlds, (ghetto burbs)
|
| Coming from these ghetto burbs.
|
| Ghetto burbs I’m from the ghetto with Jerz
|
| I ain’t tryna act like my part of the ghetto’s the worst
|
| Niggas is pricks here, they’ll buy stilettos for birds
|
| How did I get here? |
| They act like the men who don’t hurt
|
| Dude just getting high, guess they tryna escape it
|
| Won’t commit suicide, assuming they couldn’t take it
|
| The streets is cold, still we runnin round naked
|
| Success is avoid and we replace it with hatred
|
| That’s your homey from way back, from showing the years oh
|
| The friends turnin green even that after we’re old
|
| You thinking kid? |
| No, values to sheer clothes
|
| Now you struggle for rent and he got ice in his ear lobes
|
| Your man won’t even extend a hand, meeting all his career goals
|
| You need a whole nother plan, your career’s broke
|
| Valuables are more valuable than everything, even value the dudes
|
| 'Cause you gotta survive
|
| Live my life,
|
| Gotta know how to survive
|
| Just can’t hide
|
| These streets will eat you alive, (ghetto burbs)
|
| 'Cause I’m in two different worlds, (ghetto burbs)
|
| Coming from these ghetto burbs.
|
| I’m from the ghetto burbs
|
| Gotta know how to survive
|
| Streets eat you up
|
| Coming from the ghetto burbs
