Ar - Ghetto Child Lyrics

They say dont judge a man until you walk a mile in his shoes
Too often I hear judgement passed down on the ghetto
9 times out of ten its somebody that never stepped foot in the ghetto
They gotta realize if its that hard to watch it, imagine how hard it is to live it

Shit was tragic, you cant imagine, grew up with my momma on crack feeling abandoned
Spoiled kids get all the gifts, we get to manage
How we even made it thru winter the shit was magic
My mom passed it wasnt long ago, it was my passion to see that woman grow
She was in so much pain and feeling helpless
Shit was i selfish for wantin to see her living longer though
They gave 50 to my nigga Abe, 30 to Fahad I was sick as f*ck
17 to Kyle Shed so many tears, tell em they aint missing shit to keep they spirits up
Say we animals so they cage us
Give us the sentence for the nigga and flip the pages
All them years of suffering made us anxious
And all that hatred made us dangerous no cap

You wanna know what make us animals, take a walk in my city
See them kids out there raising theyself
Quick to judge us cuz they aint understanding us
What would you do if yo mom walked out on you
If yall got anything to say, say a prayer for us, we need it

Hate you for nothing these niggas different, smoke so much weed ill blow you and forget it
Young on a bike with a hammer this aint a image
Swear ill rather be the suspect than be the victim
You aint living till youll die for somethin
I just hope my niggas aint die for nothin
Everybody dying tryna profit somethin
Take one of mines bitch im droppin somethin, facts
Wish you can see thru the eyes of a Ghetto child
Feel our Ghetto hair, our Ghetto smile
So powerful standing up they try to sit us down
They aint know even on the ground we'll get around
Shit krazy but we deal with it
Its a blessing baby you still living
The streets is cold baby keep a pole
And keep yo head baby keep yo soul, straight up
