Heart Of A Ghetto Boy
This one, this one so fresh i'm still reading it off the paper man
It's just one of dem' nights you, you know fuck it
If ya'll don't never hear nothing again from me
You know it was said here
Right over here
My people screamed for revenge
So fiend was called upon
Job description was get it on
Protect your mental, heart & your dome
You may die cause' of your tone
Young, black & strong
I was meant & sent
Cause' some of the real was all gone
Since birth til' now i got holes in my t-shirt
From fighting with anybody that wants to see me hurt
Took it needle & blood
Second & first love
Fuck giving a fuck
Blame me not the drugs
I motivates myself
Grab a rocket off my shelf
A extra match & now i'm feeling like myself
Without help i could spot & just kill a decoy
Really end what i destroyed
With a heart of a ghetto boy
You have a souljah thats ready to die
Now in the heart of a ghetto boy
If you ask him to live he'll probably say why (why why why)
In a heart of a ghetto boy
You have a souljah thats ready to die
Now in the heart of a ghetto boy
If you ask him to live he'll probably say why (why why why)
In a heart of a ghetto boy
You have a souljah thats ready to die

Man i ain't got no million dollars
I'm still in the ghetto
Hear me holler
Mr. 5-0 dollar
Trying to break nobody's collar
Wanting to give the baby something to follow
But shit i'm smoking like coffee lids
Trying to deal with what is
Screaming letta nigga live
And don't kick the door in my crib
I was off he even found where i lived
Now is it a crime to be black?
And walk the streets wit' cha' gat?
To protect family knock somebody off the map
Distributing crack to put clothes on they back
I did it, & still do it if thats where i'm at
But see i'm best where i'm at
Up in this sack right into this back wood
Wanting everyday to be that good
Now in the heart of a ghetto boy
You have a souljah thats ready to die
Now in the heart of a ghetto boy
If you ask him to live he'll probably say why (why why why)
With a heart of a ghetto boy
You have a souljah thats ready to die
Now in the heart of a ghetto boy
If you ask him to live he'll probably say why (why why why)

Yeah i been facing the depths of hell
For how long?
23 years
And i choose to speak my mind even if its my career
The only fear that i discovered ain't returned & ain't coming
And the faith that i have ain't in no car in no woman
Everyday i'm stumbling to a smarter me
A harder me
Revealing my strength for they try to swallow me
I done read what they didn't want me to read
Learn to need what they didn't want me to need
Shit look i really gotta house full of guns
A couch full of ones
Just in case i don't understand the outcome that life taught
Let me leave you with this thought
Why the lion needed courage & he already had heart....
Of a ghetto boy
You have a souljah thats ready to die
Now in the heart of a ghetto boy
If you ask him to live he'll probably say why (why why why)
In a heart of a ghetto boy
You have a souljah thats ready to die
Now in the heart of a ghetto boy
If you ask him to live he'll probably say why (why why why)
In a heart of a ghetto boy
You have a souljah thats ready to die
Now in the heart of a ghetto boy (why why why)
(why why why)
If you ask him to live he'll probably say why (why why why)
Why why why
Live live live
Why why why
Live live live
Why why why
Live live live
Why why why
In the heart of a ghetto boy
In every man young man old man
There lies one
In the heart of a ghetto boy
