K-9 Wolf - Get Born in the Ghetto

{Intro}
Encouraging people to view themselves as victim does have a very heafty price
For the more privileged class
That might be able to benefit from having their career catapulted
But to the average everyday person
Viewing yourself as a victim
And believing you have no control over your life
It often leads very many down a road of bitterness and resentment
It's a dеad-end road down to self destruction
Bеcause when you get into a habit of blaming other people for your shortcomings
May that be your parents
May that be society
And never once paying attention to the common denominator
(yeah)
In all of your scenarios
Which is the person in your reflection

{Verse 1}
Big steppers when they hear the police come
Hella street smart
Even I know luck has it's distance (on god)
I want all of my boys
Even ones I cut ties with to eat
I know where we from
No fathers in the crib
No chance imma make it out clean (no clean)
Marinate in the gutter
I don't know how but I saw a better future on the mic
Real life I stutter
On beat I butter
Man I wake up and I wonder can black be gold?
Been know we bold but what about gold? (what about gold?)
What about gold? (what about gold?)
What about gold my brother?
Dreams don't break outta love
Big win when you rolling with us (with who?)
Aiming for pluto, related by cold
Left out by everybody that we know

{Hook}
Get born in the ghetto
Starve as you get no medal
Pray that you maybe win the lotto
Black man knows
Black man knows it's a battle
Die in the ghetto
We live and die in the ghetto
Die in the ghetto
Black man knows aye
Black man knows it's a battle
Die in the ghetto
We live and die in the ghetto
Die in the ghetto
Get born in the ghetto
Starve as you get no medal
Pray that you maybe win the lotto
Black man knows aye
Black man knows it's a battle
Die in the ghetto
We live and die in the ghetto
Die in the ghetto
Black man knows aye, Black man knows, Black man knows aye yea yeah

{Verse 2}
No destiny written
You get what you given
Born into poverty
Stay if you you quitting
Fight if you wanna but that don't make you winning
Owning some strings now that be a business
You move up with puppets and turn em to sheep
Start losing yourself and you'll know 'cause you been there before
Building your door wasn't something you knew back when you wasn't sure
Living like mama was sum you'd endure
But look at you now my brother
Your life ain't something the streets could murder
The come up was harder
Only because we got no one that we could depend on
Who's coming to save us?
Don't talk about patience like my stomach will give me any
I'm sorry I moved how I did but being an artist be scary

{Hook}
Get born in the ghetto
Starve as you get no medal

Die in the ghetto

Black man knows it's a battle

Black man knows it's a battle
Die in the ghetto
We live and die in the ghetto
Die in the ghetto
Black man knows aye
Black man knows
Black man knows aye yea yeah
