II Tru, Layzie Bone - Ghetto Bluez lyrics
[II Tru, Layzie Bone - Ghetto Bluez lyrics]
Ghetto blues has got me down
For the the last time
Strapped down with ghetto ways
Beggin' me to the extent
Of my struggles statis
They called me on the low
Comin' up on the money
Hustle, the same old thang for a new
Game to be played for cheese
Gotta get what's promised to a sister
Comin' up on bankin' G's
Hustlin's all the same
I can't deal with these playas' thoughts
Too much trust and risks make quick
For a fool to get caught
Hold on, slippin', too late to be trippin'
Weak strategies gettin' the best of me
Underpriced, everyday down and out
Is life in societies
Still, I hold on, 'cause I'm headstrong
And focus with life of no time
To pay the price of failure
Let me tell you, no lie
Livin' by the strugglers' rules
Gotta do what ya gotta do that's fit
We strugglin', who gives a damn man bout
This down and out chick?
My head poundin', what am I gonna do?
Gotta get on the hustle
Makin' the cheese comin' up out of
The low-life of the ghetto
Gotta make this come up on the real
Since tired of strugglin'
Ghetto life showin' me no love
But givin' me reason to make
Quick moves on somethin'
Gotta hold on my own, but it's hard as hell
Tryin' to stay afloat in "The
Heart of it All"
So for myself, it's the way I go
I gotta do what gotta be done to
Make it in these hard times
Strugglin's a mother when you gotta wonder
"Can I provide for mine?"
Look at my predicament
Who's gonna help this sister in need?
Can't put the trust in the system
So I gotta hustle these streets for my cheese
Gotta make that money comin' up
On the means that's due
Cause one of these '96 days
I'm outta these ghetto blues
Ghetto blues has got me down
For the the last time
These ghetto blues done gotta sista faded
Prayed this was only a dream
Trapped in a slum surrounded
By the crack fiends
Means of survival, I guess
Hustle in the hood, wear the bulletproof vest
Help me, Lord
I can't get no deeper than this
Wish I wasn't born in this world of bastards
Misfit's mom's got love for me
But she don't love what I do ohh
Gotta slang 9 to 5
Don't bring in enough food
Steadily, look out for myself, my trues
And my family
See gotta go for self cause won't
Nobody take care of me
Strategy, keep fools out of my place
Gotta take care of my business what is this?
I I Tru, Playa hatas on the real
You betta get with this
Been down for too long
Come strong, fool, it's on
AJay's click comin' thick for the nine-six
Right down to the very bone, never laggin'
Eighty-six ghetto life
Eighty-six them ghetto blues
Trues comin' up for the nine-six
Playa hatas, you bound to lose
Break rules, ain't no laws here, playa
Understand ghetto blues
Cause for moves testin' trues
But remember the man
Go home if you sensitive, gotta live
Nothin' gives
Been in some strange situations
Comprehend since I had to do, so a sista did
Get rid of all excesses
Always stay true to my trues i can do this
Gotta shake these problems
Get away from these ghetto blues
Ghetto blues has got me down
For the the last time
Right now time to get a nigga shit tight
With the man in the mirror
See clear through the rest of
My days on earth
Been piecin' puzzle since birth
And it only get worst until
We layin' in the hearse it's a ghetto curse
Every little kid in the hood
Done felt these tortures
Departure up out of this hell hole
Nigga done fell low
Stressed, but I'm blessed as a soldier
I beg of you lord Jesus
Help me deliver myself and my
Click from this evil
Fear the reeper surround in' my soul
Steadily sendin' these through my peoples
Heaven be takin' control of my destiny
I can't let these streets get the best of me
With all of my kids right next to me
You can expect for me
To keep grindin' desperately
Calculatin' my every move
Gotta prove to these fools we confuse
Intention, do your thang and
Maintain the mission cause really
My trues can't settle for no prison sentence
So, I keep my distance from llello
Plottin, starin' out the window
Looking for a rainbow
Lay Bone can't settle for the same 'ole
Claim Mo Thug with love to the
Depth that the game goes
Reviewing all possiblities
Pesponsibilities is major now
Ain't no need on dwellin'
Where the danger bound
Shit'll change around if we make it, suit up
Two Glocks for the war, check the score
I I Tru can't lose
'cause you know we got shit to prove
Gotta stick for you, livin' our lives
Singin' these ghetto blues blues
Ghetto blues has got me down
For the the last time
For the the last time
Strapped down with ghetto ways
Beggin' me to the extent
Of my struggles statis
They called me on the low
Comin' up on the money
Hustle, the same old thang for a new
Game to be played for cheese
Gotta get what's promised to a sister
Comin' up on bankin' G's
Hustlin's all the same
I can't deal with these playas' thoughts
