Lil' Ghetto Boy

I wonder where my life would be if i... had that paper

Im just a ghetto boy

A lil' ghetto boy

They tell me it's like the money pow'' money and power

How can this world rotate without this money and power

If i had money

I'd keep my peoples out the poverty

'cause aint no more starvin wen ya'll around me... shit

This world aint gotta be me

And every playa got paper

Shinin like a super star wit matchin links and gators

Keepin our family off this poor table

'cause aint no food on it

And every crap up in this bucket gotta move on it

(im just a ghetto boy) livin in this ghetto world

Stayin wit this ghetto chik

Hopin to have a ghetto girl

And after all there aint no spaces for that

How can we live up in this world where d'aint no place for the blacks

'cause every dollar gotta dream behind it

We seem to be blinded

Malcom X he had the dream to remind him... believe me

Havin money could have this world fucked up

But it can answer your prayers wen u get down on your luck

I wonder where my life would be if i, had that paper

Im just a ghetto boy

A Lil' Ghetto Boy

Now if i lived on top of the world

Shinin like diamonds and pearls

Im still a ghetto boy

A Lil' Ghetto Boy

I done lived my life up in the, ghetto

Momma workin hours

Tryina feed a family

Dady's in and out

Takin baths with broken showers

Next door neighbor gave us the vapors

Callin cops 'cause we on the block

Breakin they home on sum broken cables

But i never thought that it would affect me later

Until i seen the hustle where niggas ridin stretched navigators

But now then later i should come up

'cause i seen my homie one the block slangin rocks and then i spot the gunna

I never visioned it'd be homicide

Be'cause they told me he'll live

That's wut they told me wen my homie Boosy died

Could all these miges bring my nigga back?

Could all these million features

Would all my friends become my enemy

Would my family become astonished with all these strengths that come into me

Is this pretend to be

A vivid a magically

A vivid a magically

I wonder

Back in the days when i was poor

Im not poor anymore

But sum days i sit and wish that i was poors again (2x)
