Uhhh shhhh
Don't say nothin' just listen (For all y'all ghetto people out there)
Through like all the bloodshed
And all the tears and all the homies I done lost (Calliope Projects)

They main focus is blacks with fancy cars
And they beat us on high interest loans
Repossess our property cause we don't think to own
Chorus (4x):
This ghetto live got us hustlin' and scufflin'
I said penatentiary chances keep us thuggin' and muggin'

Went through changes that dealed me
Into a better man but most often I'm misunderstood
Call me a gangsta 'cause I relay consciousness from the hood
But alot of good comes from what you call negativity
We working with no leverage or incentive g
'Cause their noth
