Tha Alkaholiks - Poverty's Paradise lyrics

Just another day in the hood let's good

I plan out my hustle for the
Day then take a shower
When your? dope, everybody jealous
When you come up short
Everybody tellin you 'bout
Who got that dope to sling tonight
Who got the music
And the song uncut, everything you tellin
You the ghetto symphony (believe it)

Poverty is paradiiiise ask me how I know
(how you know)
You see the niggas on the corner
And you know they smokin wood
Chasin dollars and Impalas
It's the same way in yo' hood
Poverty is paradiiiise ask me how I know
(how you know)
I see the ladies on they hustle
Makin dollars in the club
Feedin babies, her Mercedes
Came from niggas stolen drugs

I know what it feels like to wake up broke
And face another day wit'cha
Back against the ropes
And I also know how to survive the struggle
When shit gets tough you gotta up your hustle
Set some new goals, raise your self-esteem
Don't let nothin intervene or get in between
If you gotta push weight
Keep your money clean
And if you gotta strip girl
Be the best you can be
If you gotta run scams then, cover your trail
Cause it's hard feedin babies when
You locked in jail if you cain't hold a job
Cause you just got out try another route
You know what I'm talkin about
And when you do make it big
Give back to the hood
So when you gotta go back
It's still to the good
Stay loyal to your people
Show 'em that you care
Cause in the end you know
They be right there, just remember that

Poverty is paradiiiise ask me how I know
(how you know)
You see the niggas on the corner
And you know they smokin wood
Chasin dollars and Impalas
It's the same way in yo' hood
Poverty is paradiiiise ask me how I know
(how you know)
I see the ladies on they hustle
Makin dollars in the club
Feedin babies, her Mercedes
Came from niggas stolen drugs
