[Intro 1]
[Gm][Em][Gm][Em][F]
[Gm]
we [F]grew

[Verse 1]
[Gm][Em][Gm]
up in the [Em]ghetto where summertimes short
[C]straight action,
[G]you don't stop [Gm]for a[G] foo[Em]l
[G]most use crime as [F]a way
to pay [G]the [Em]bills[G]
[Em]the [G]un- lucky ones end up gettin caught
we grew [Em]up i[G]n th[Em]e gh[G]etto[F][Bb][Em][G]
where the [F]growing [Em]gets [E]rou[G]gh
[Em]moneys been around [E]but its
never been [Em]enough
most [G]ain't [F]giv[G]in no choice
but to hussle
some break down when
the going gets tough
deep in the manners all kinds
of [Em]different people
[G]mines over east sti[F]ll struggle to [G]be equal
[F]so [G]many characters, [E]4 main typ[Am]es
[F]the good, [G]the bad, the ugly,
and [Em]the [G]evil
deep in the manner where the
pover[F]tys visible[G]
there's [Em]not [G]a lot sweet
so most look misarable
most cave in to the devil,
took [F]the wrong puff
son kick the face but still [Am]pray for
a miracle
soccastars emerge from the [Em]curb
up n coming mcs struggle
to [G]be heard
[Em]boy.... the next [E]jailbird ??
*censored*s talk murder [G]and they
live by there word
shotters keep the [F]money [G]going round
kids goin stray most never get found
[Em]iv noticed there a ghetto in[E] e[Em]very town
the [F]skies are empty [G]be cause the
stars are on the ground
(chorus)

[Verse 2]
we grew up in [G]the ghetto saw real [E]life pain
real [Am]life [Em]struggle with [G]real life strain
real life [Am]kiddies with [G]real life guns
and [Am]real life mothers [G]lose real life sons
[Em]gang wars are ruftin on the darf
[F]flu[G]r on the seeser ??
beef after beef just to be the top geezer
big arms gas, the stratford recs
ghetto high murders [Em]got
ta maintain [E]reps
what's it all about i [F]ask
myself [G]before i swing
[F]more time I'm beefin over
[G]any little thing
beefin any area,region or vincity
my ghetto frame [A]of [Am]mind makes
me prone [F]to hostil[Am]ity
to [F]my bredrons locked up, to my
young baby mothers
each and every [G]creed and colour,
ghetto [Bb]sisters and [F]brothers
[Am]if you know [F]your from the slum
[Am]s keep reppin no doubt
stay [E]ghetto if you must
just remember to get out
