Joe Budden - Ghetto Burbs lyrics

(Intro) Always had big dreams Everybody had big dreams though I never wanna stay here, I had no intentions And I have had no plans (Chorus) Live my life, Gotta know how to survive Just can’t hide ‘Cause these streets will eat you alive, (ghetto burbs) ‘Cause I’m from two different worlds, (ghetto burbs) Coming from these ghetto burbs. (Verse) Yo yo, ghetto burbs I’m from the ghetto with Jerz From where the pedal is served Use hand, justice for words sponsored links Pick up the LA, they was ahead of the curb My hooey gang bang You could get left from the curb Yea I was raised here, but I’m tryna export Police is crook yea, the strippers is escorts Like my homey Layla, really I can’t knock her ‘Cause she getting paper, month ago she was knocked up Baby daddy your dope boy, fresh homey was locked up But he on the same sh**, f**ed around and got shot up You mind saying mind, I’m like why he even bother At the same time don’t know what he was a part of And Layla over the casket, see this coming harder The hood went again, another summon the father Gotta take it astride, round here it’s the usual But I ain’t accustomed, that sh** I can’t get used to I’m tryna survive (Chorus) Live my life, Gotta know how to survive Just can’t hide ‘Cause these streets will eat you alive, (ghetto burbs) ‘Cause I’m in two different worlds, (ghetto burbs) Coming from these ghetto burbs. (Verse) Yo, ghetto burbs I’m from the ghetto with Jerz From where the ghetto’s disturbed, you can be dead and not heard Say you’re predaly, and ended with better or worse I lost faith but grandma still keep her head up in church Murder is sky high, employment is real low Little kid tryna rap, but will he get a deal? No ‘Cause poverty k**s slow, belief is beyond you 7-9’er every 10 b**hes here got the monster like my lil homey Tania I met her in freak nik, freak yea The same b**h the n***as be all out in the street with Open, in love with the service But she got resentment, she won’t see from the surface So like so many women look right so she worship Caught aids from rape and thought her whole life was worthless Hoe couldn’t know how gorgeous her curbs is She f**in em raw and hope they catch it on purpose You better survive (Chorus) Live my life, Gotta know how to survive Just can’t hide The streets will eat you alive, (ghetto burbs) ‘Cause I’m from two different worlds, (ghetto burbs) Coming from these ghetto burbs. (Verse) Ghetto burbs I’m from the ghetto with Jerz I ain’t tryna act like my part of the ghetto’s the worst n***as is pricks here, they’ll buy stilettos for birds How did I get here? They act like the men who don’t hurt Dude just getting high, guess they tryna escape it Won’t commit suicide, a**uming they couldn’t take it The streets is cold, still we runnin round naked Success is avoid and we replace it with hatred That’s your homey from way back, from showing the years oh The friends turnin green even that after we’re old You thinking kid? No, values to sheer clothes Now you struggle for rent and he got ice in his ear lobes Your man won’t even extend a hand, meeting all his career goals You need a whole nother plan, your career’s broke Valuables are more valuable than everything, even value the dudes ‘Cause you gotta survive (Chorus x2) Live my life, Gotta know how to survive Just can’t hide These streets will eat you alive, (ghetto burbs) ‘Cause I’m in two different worlds, (ghetto burbs) Coming from these ghetto burbs. (Outro) I’m from the ghetto burbs Gotta know how to survive Streets eat you up Coming from the ghetto burbs Said the streets eat you alive, alive yea yea yea Coming from the ghetto burbs yea
