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

Now think to ya' self

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

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
