[J. Cole - Lil Ghetto Nigga lyrics]
Yeah, uh uh, yea
Yea, uh fayettenam, nigga
Hahaah uh carolina, nigga
Yeah, Yea, let's bring it in
Yea, this is for my niggas in the struggle
Yea, this is for my niggas in the struggle
Uh, uh, uh nothing but sweat, tears
Just another perspective yeah
Yo, uh
Lifestyles of the young, black, and genius
Sons strapped with guns packed in jeans
And the blunts got my lungs black as Jesus
(yea) play where killers hung at and
Slung crack for leisure
And tell a nigga run that
Get gun clapped for sneakers
Young niggas emulate what's coming
Out the speakers
So everything we learn came from rappers
Not teachers 'Cause if we can't relate
Then how the hell you gonna reach us?
Surrounded by crooked cops and preachers
(yeah) who am I trusting?
No time to think about illegal
When your stomachs touching
By any means, nigga
Even if the gun is busting
I see the world for what it is now
I see the odds is looking
Slim for our kids now 'Cause, uh
It wasn't set up for my people to rise (yea)
My niggas slang
But I see the pain deep in they eyes
Niggas living like they don't give a fuck
And I don't blame 'em, it's a cold world
Live it up! (live it up)
The things that I've seen (seen)
The dreams that I dream (dream)
The rain in my sky the pain in my eyes
But know that it gets better baby
Hope that it gets better baby
Don't let this world break you (you) nah, nah
Don't let them break you (you)
Yeah, uh i look up in the sky
See that ghetto bird circling
And rollers on the block, my
Niggas on the curb, cursing them
(fuck) another day in the Ville
Do I stay in and chill? (no)
Or go play in the field?
Help my mother paying these
Bills, you tell me, nigga!
We young, black, some strapped
Them whites got they lunch pack for school
We had our guns packed
And all a nigga wanna do is
Take his momma from that
But they'd rather lock us up and
Make sure we don't come back
You kill a nigga over beef
And cheddar? Even better
Just one less coon they won't
Have to arrest soon
Fuck a crooked cop three times
Bitch, I'm getting cake and ain't
A nigga finna eat mine
That's why a nigga looking like a street sign
(yeah)
Posted on the corner 'til it's sleep time
Wake up and it's feeling like
Somebody hit the rewind (why?)
'Cause them ghetto birds circulate
My niggas still cursin em
Another day in the city, my
Niggas say it with me, yeah
The things that I've seen (seen)
The dreams that I dream (dream)
The rain in my sky the pain in my eyes
But know that it gets better baby
Hope that it get better baby
Don't let this world break you (you) naw, naw
Don't let them break you (you)
Yea, uh fayettenam, nigga
Hahaah uh carolina, nigga
Yeah, Yea, let's bring it in
Yea, this is for my niggas in the struggle
Yea, this is for my niggas in the struggle
Uh, uh, uh nothing but sweat, tears
