Junkies leaving needles in the middle of the street In an alleyway a hooker get beat By her pimp who wants mo money He sock her in the eye and laughs like it funny Shots fired in the middle of the night Cause you can't live a day without a gun fight Gunplay twenty minutes non-stop And you won't see a single cop Cause pig don't come to protect and serve us They see are brown skin and them swine get nervous Watch your back or get played for a fool Stabbed at a bar over a game of pool Dope man's on ever block That why half of my family getting high on the rock Times are so damn hard The dope man is selling on the schoolyard It just another story that you know so well When you're born in a ghetto hell
Old man's singing the blues While a punk uptown is getting jump for his shoes Heads hang on the corner drinking beer Wish they could be anywhere but here In this slum you call a neighborhood If I had money to leave yeah you know I would Everything is worn down and broken Airs smell so bad you can't help but choking Go out after dark and risk your neck Because in the hood they got no love nor respect Everyone fighting to do the best they can So who can give a damn about their fellow man You got to be out for number one If you ain't then you might get done Hard to tell who's with the team Or who's just a bitch as punk trying to pull a scheme It just another story that you know so well When you're born in a ghetto hell
Little miss thing Only fourteen Pushing a stroller Couldn't wait 'til she got older To have sex So her man tagged the boots and moved onto the next She told her mom her mom yelled They tried to find the father but the brother bailed Now the girl applying for welfare But them fools turned her down cause they just don't care So the girl got to find a way to make ends meet Only skill she got is to sell her self on the cold cold streets Mom found out she was a hoe Packed the child's bag and throw her out the door So she move in with a john who claimed he had love to give But all he gave her was crack Now she's walking round with a baby and a monkey on her back. It just another story that you know so well When you're born in a ghetto hell
(extra verses from original recording)
Trying to support a baby and a habit Once again she went an killed the rabbit Her john didn't want no kids He told her to get an abortion and she swore she did He found out she lied Shot her and her baby they both died He didn't even sweated it He just hit the pipe once again to forget it it is like I told you before Watch you back or you might find yourself go out the back door
