hit the block Lexus truck slangin ice cream 

a million records sold , thats why yall know P 

came up on hard times tryin to make ends 

2 stones to my niggaz thats dead and in the pen 

the ghetto wont change , they label me the dope man 

I slang raps but the feds think its cocaine 

tap my phone , these hoes wont leave me alone 

nigga gon legit , so stay off the ding dong 

independent , thats why they hate me 

a million man ghetto march for Master P 

so fuck rap pages ( dont know ) 

yall didnt want to see a nigga make it off the streets 

thats why you'll never see P on MTV 

top 40 , but niggaz yall know me 

number 1 in every mom and pop and billboard record store 

so fuck yall playa hatin hoes 

gimme a pen , a pad , and ill make a hit 

show every nigga in the ghetto how to get rich 

cause yall dont know what go on behind closed doors 

white folks pimp niggaz like hoes 

but tru niggaz , say fuck that 

you owe me money , its time to meet the chrome gat 

I got the drank , finna tomorrow I take a piss test 

and I know my probs. want me to go back 

an ex-con addicted to gangsta rhymes 

last year I caught a bullet but it wasnt mine 

time to go nigga on dead row , or should I say im stuck in the ghetto 



Chorus: 

(2x) Just a ghetto thang , a ghetto thang , you would understand if you

was 

from the ghetto man 

(1x)its a ghetto thang , a ghetto thang , these niggaz got me caught up in 

this ghetto thang 



Silk: 



see I aint got no money up in my pocket 

how the fuck ima stop it 

ima get the glock and cock and plug you like a socket 

see game get deeper but yall dont feel me 

telling me to gets up out the game , get a job 

I shouldnt rob a nigga , I might kill yah 

see up on the block I rides deep on gold thangs 

these niggaz be trippin up on my shit and they'll jack you like it aint no 

thang 

see im from the city where niggaz be salty and they stay faulty like wires 

and I aint seen a gangsta retire yet 

on a bet , threw my cothes up on the floor and I sweat 

trust nobody cause these niggaz today will smoke you like a cigarette 

now bet , rest in peace to all homies that didnt make it 

took life for granted , an I panic while seeing niggaz with ski masks 

we blast with ski masks and bust a cap into they weak ass 

everyday struggle and I stay hustlin like a pan handler 

fuck it if I took a chance to get dead like cancer 

I betta not chance it 

slik , just another nigga tryin to make it up out the ghetto 



(Chorus) 



Big Ed: 



got a hold on me , jealous fools wanna roll on me 

will I die or will god just let me be 

fufill the prophecy reach my destiny avoid the burial plot 

unlive the ones that got popped 

I got a son but she says that it isnt mine 

Im 24 and since birth ive served hard time 

in this concrete jungle , a war zone , many of my peers die 

finally made it back home 

self preservation is a thing for me 

duckin and dodgin bullets stone faces on the ones who pulled it 

I promise my mama I wouldnt die before she did 

I got my life right got my wife and then my kids 

but everywhere I look I see sadness 

imagine tryin to raise your babies in this worldwide madness 



(chorus) 6x
