*GHETTOBOY

I wasn't even seventeen before the world could break my heart apart
I done cried so long for change, might take a life with no regard
Was sittin' in the ghetto with my momma, pops was on the yard
Pumpin' iron cuz when I was born that's when the race had start
'98, Friday the thirteenth, guess it all was fate
All my grandmas dead, and my momma dead, it feel fake
Let me tell you little a secret I was told
If you want the gold

Just keep running
Just keep running
Just keep running
Just keep running
Just keep running
Just keep running
Just keep running
Just keep running

To all the little boys and girls from the ghetto
I just want to encourage y'all to believe
That there's more to life than strugglin' to survive
(Like what?)
Like stuntin' on these niggas

Hol' up

Hol' up
Hol' up
Hol' up

I'm a ghetto boy
I can get it poppin' in the projects
I'm a ghetto boy
Get it out the mud without drugs
I'm a ghetto boy
I'ma put my niggas on the map cuz
I'm a ghetto boy
Fuck you niggas heard, not a nerd
I'm a ghetto boy

Knew since I was shittin' I was destined for the greatness
Little did I know that the industry is tasteless
Niggas rob and steal, thats why my niggas keep a stainless
I don't want to die another dumb nigga nameless
Message for the news, I'ma have to come and change shit
Ghetto Walt Disney, I'm the Nigga Ronald Reagan
In the hood droppin' off some aid
Like who that young nigga in the durag and the shades?

I'm a ghetto boy
I can get it poppin' in the projects
I'm a ghetto boy
Get it out the mud without drugs
I'm a ghetto boy
I'ma put my niggas on the map cuz
I'm a ghetto boy
Fuck you niggas heard, not a nerd
I'm a ghetto boy
