BJ The Chicago Kid - The World Is A Ghetto lyrics

Kids is what make me feel so good See you looking at the glory that's coming up into the future of life See the younger youth is what's gonna make everything to keep going After I done pa**ed down the hill Young and black! [Hook x2 - BJ the Chicago Kid:] Don't you know That it's true That for me And for you The world is a ghetto Then there's a lot of funky things in this country And there's a lot of good things too But there's more funky than good We've changed some for the best Awful lot of cases for the worst And some, they have not changed at all Walking down the street Foggy eyes Looking at the sky Starry eyes Searching for a place Weary eyes Crying in the night Teary eyes [Hook x2 - BJ the Chicago Kid:] Don't you know That it's true That for me And for you The world is a ghetto Dude, we got to get our minds together! Anytime a brother was shot another brother in his own neighborhood Then go to his funeral and turn over his own casket They need to have the police down there Cause see the n***as is N.A.A.C.P n***as ain't actin' like colored people If I can't work and make it, I steal and take it They come up to me with a n***a who can put air in a bottle and sell it He can do it man A n***a can sell anything [Kendrick Lamar:] As I watch the sky change colors The rain flooded the neighborhoods of the black brothers The black mothers are stressing, the coroners have covered Another statistic, episodes of a cold summer The street runners got the same legs of Michael Johnson The fast life surpa**ed life beyond the conscience Profanity in the air, the children use the content The vanity's in the air, that Louis bag: haunted The black girl with the hair, that's kind of coarse Her baby daddy's in court, she smoking on a Newport Seventeen with dreams of becoming a stripper Or becoming an AIDS victim while touching them zippers The life that we living in, things we would do just to live again How can an angel forever live in sin? [Hook x4 - BJ the Chicago Kid:] Don't you know That it's true That for me And for you The world is a ghetto You know, anybody that uses somebody else to gain is pimpin' Well, I tell you what soul brother, lookie here Can't nobody pimp you but your pimp a** self You understand? Then there's a lot of funky things in this country And there's a lot of good things too But there's more funky than good sh** ain't gettin' better We've changed some for the best Awful lot of cases for the worst And some, they have not changed at all
