"Ghetto Village"

[chorus]
Would you like to go with me?
Down my dead end street?
Would you like to come with me?
To village ghetto life?

Lemme tell you bout the village where I dwell is a...
Living hell still tryin to make a heaven outta this right here
Watching for the postman hopin' for paper
Please stop the bus mr. driver... wait up
We got...Rock fights where the dead end meets
The stop lights is out so its dead in the streets
The countyline look long but im kinda hungry
So I pack a sack lunch and got on
Late for class again its half past 10 and
Moms gonna whoop mah ass again
Now and then I get the feelin that the world is mine
I start sittin back watchin time fly by but uh...
But Im so proud to say.. that the ghetto is the reason that im loud today
And you could come get a glimpse of whats happenin'
See for yourself how it is where i live at

Would you like to go with me?
Down my dead end street?
Would you like to come with me?
To village ghetto life?

It shouldnt take long to see
The place that belongs to me
Its all good, aint nuttin like home to me
No diploma but uh.. i got some knowledge out of
My other partners that made it up outta here
And not a whole lot of us get rich
But like the old saying goes aint life a bitch?
Aw shit! the landlord just raised the rent, fuck dat!
Them old days that came and went like this
Theres mo ways you could use your time instead of
Looking for shit that you used to find
By the age of 16 ya finally come to grips
Livin life like this and nuttin else mean shit
Looking for a smooth getaway
Cool cuz soon ill see a better day
And if not... then i gots to deal with it
I aint makin this up hell naw its real nigga

Would you like to go with me?
Down my dead end street?
Would you like to come with me?
To village ghetto life?

No more suprises hopin i can open your eyes
And so im trying instead of lookin up in the sky
Im in the fast lane speed dreaming
Nappin on cruise control please believe it!
In my city when you see it that night
Look different than it does in the day
Aint no tellin what had happened if it wasnt this way
I aint trippin off of shit its a good thang
I made a name off the local neighborhood gang
And at that time i started rhyming and..
Set up a hill without help to start climbin'
And now ive been around this for a minute
You gotta get ur own mix and get wit it
I made myself learn to pay myself
Nigga the game dont wait so ima stay myself
And now you can go and tell another nigga
Of how the real ones is livin in the ghetto

Would you like to go with me?
Down my dead end street?
Would you like to come with me?
To village ghetto life?

Would you like to go with me?
Down my dead end street?
Would you like to come with me?
To village ghetto life?
