Life is complicated
it gets me aggrivated
and premeditated
damn `G`
I done made it
24 years on her
I thanks God
some say life is easy
that`s a lie, it`s hard
cause you could be gone in a second
think about that
and count your blessings
a lot of homie`s in my hood
is straight locked up
cause they had that flake
straight rocked up
wit` some of that funky skunk weed
that`ll drop ya` to ya` knees
just simply roll it in a blunt
and it`ll sho` get `cha keyed
I likes to flow real
when I grabs the mic and rap
I simple kick facts
all `em lies
I ain`t got time fa` that
word
it`s boring
I`m on a whole differnt level
all this ready floatin` `round
got most crazy like the devil
I come to ya` real
like otha brothaz can`t
cause when people get kill`d
it makes ya think
yo`
whose gon` be the next one in a casket
who done got kill`d
who done got blasted
and when I come to ya`
real `dem ya` mind gets lost
it`s fresh and strictly real
It`s all true BOSS
CHORUS:
To my people in the ghetto
this is fa` you
you gotta do what you gotta do
cause it`s all true
To my people in the ghetto
this is fa` you
you gotta do what you gotta do
cause it`s all true
Yo`
think about this
yo`
my people tryna` make it
strugglin` fa` so long
and you know 5-0 hate it
they tryna` fade us
straight out the box
they fly in tha do`
then bust us wit` the ready rock
take a look around
yo` it`s goin` down
befo` ya` 6 feet underground
I can tell ya` this
yo` I`m still strugglin`
I`m under a lot of stress
plus things is jugglin`
through my brain
life ain`t the same
I mean I`m trapped in the game
and mind `ll bring a brotha pain
yo` I`m straight reminiscing
them days in tha kitchen
when I thought my moms was trippin`
believe it or not BOSS
yo` it all come back and hits ya`
all at once like smack
yo` like Marvin Gaye
ya` betta` watch it
a lot of brothaz is dyin`
over that flake stuff
but what can I say
it`s gonna still be sold
cause the people I know
they like to have there pockets swolled
I can`t blaim `em
cause Lord
they got to have `dem D`s
plus `dem G`s
cause yo` it`s a lot of keys
It`s all true BOSS
To my people in the ghetto
this is fa` you
you gotta do what you gotta do
cause it`s all true
To my people in the ghetto
this is fa` you
you gotta do what you gotta do
cause it`s all true
Now think to ya` self
what make a brotha slang ready
probably cause he broke
plus his job ain`t steady
now I`m a tell ya this
bein` broke sho` sucks
a lot a cool homies
in my hood
is straight locked up
fa` dishin` that flake to `dem
crooked undercovaz
sellin` powder
to them othaz
and coolin` dem
brothaz wit` dem hubbards
now what can I do
cause I come true
always shown up to the onez
that`s down dude
they say people in the projects
can`t have no change
cause if ya` slang
they don`t want you
to have a damn thing
in the nine-fo`
ain`t no perpetrators
shoot a brotha
he`ll be back like
Swartzenager
199-fo` what the hell has changed
not a got-damn thang
it`s all about cocaine
who ya` know and
who ya` owe
yo` were living
in the fast lane
we need to take it slow
it`s the year of survival
not enough black folks
tryna` read the Bible
now that`s ya` last clue
say what `cha want to
cause it`s all true
To my people in the ghetto
this is fa` you
you gotta do what you wanna do
cause it`s all true
To my people in the ghetto
this is fa` you
you gotta do what you wanna do
cause it`s all true
