Dave East — Child Of The Ghetto

[Verse] Yo I smile through the terror, no sun, it was rainin' on me A child of the ghetto, nobody explained it to me I never fold, I never bend, that's the gangster in me Another daughter in my life I'm so thankful to see Niggas loved to say I changed, but they changed up on me I fell out with a couple homies, they blamed it on me I shared my whole life with these niggas, nothin' stranger to see Copped the hoopty just to get from A to B Shouts to my PO, cause she ain't make me pee Was prayin' to God to make the league Opps come, make 'em bleed, see the cops, then shake the scene Every bar that niggas spit be make-believe I still could get your face powdered, like I work for Maybelline Jumped in that water, without no naval team Them books got me smarter, some niggas hate to read Got prescriptions of names from Dwayne reed, I'd rather be Eating shrimp and steak than being in state greens [?] eat the closest to you, nobody ain't bleed Free scrappy drape street, that's really my brother but last time seen him, we were still in the gutter I went to visit and they hated on me It felt like them fucking pigs was waiting on me Drove 6 hours couldn't see him, that shit'l break a homie The way we live, rolling in ink, got no eraser for it I was dead broke I could relate boredom $20 cabs that I would take the[?] [?] Popping out of ubers, with my gun on Like way before I had my daughter Niggas playing the corner till the sun gone Had a pack on me before I put out one song It was wild in my era, no sun, it was raining on me A child of the ghetto nobody explained it to me From pitching dimes to spitting rhymes niggas hated on me It was hard to get some air around the way, I'm just waiting to breathe They gave him 20 years, he did 12, we just waiting to be free My youngin learned my lifestyle, he said he just waiting to be me Child of the ghetto nobody explained it to me Find me out in Cabo, wintertime and its 80 degrees Hermes the hoodie, Hermes the sleeves If the devil wear Prada, just Louis Vuitton me that shit from overseas Special delivery, damn that nigga glittery You panic you a memory, the damage I see vividly Rollie with the press, Fish with the spaghetti Rest in peace to [?] rest in peace to [?] I ain't ever too far from chetty, we were stuck in the trenches Just watching belly, I was nasty The I told he "put it in your mouth' [?] Then kick her out and put on some Madea shit, with Tyler Perry Reminiscing all them dinners I made from commissary Sliding in that Bonneville plot on niggas we gotta bury Like I ain't have a lot of jewelry A lot of niggas be home with their kids if they ain't provide a jury Jumped out a 2 door, Beuntld, blowing [?] Get back nigga you too close, you never too black to vote Smackee off a mimosa If I take my youngin to the Gucci store, and show him the loafers Know I did for the culture Took it from locally global with just me and my locsters Now they put us on posters I smile through the terror no sun, it was raining on me A child of the ghetto nobody explained it on me I never fold, I never obey that's the gangster in me Another daughter in my life I'm so grateful to see Niggas loved to say I changed, but they changed up on me I fell out, with a couple homies, they blamed it on me Shared my whole life with these niggas, nothing stranger to see Cop the hoopty just to get from A to B
