Shaggy 2 Dope - Ghetto Rainbows lyrics

Chorus: {Legz Diamond} How the f** could this be? Up in the sky? There is a rainbow over the hood! [3x] Verse 1: {Violent J} Let's see, we got homes abandoned, fires flare Don't dare walk down over there Hookers, pimps, Oxi80's Trailer park meth labs, crack babies In the spot, workin' cook up Walk outside, take a look up It's a rainbow over the city Look back down around you, sh**ty! {Shaggy 2 Dope} Gun shots heard, k**ers are lurkin' Yet still I hear the birds are chirpin'! This world ain't meant for this So much bliss, but easy to miss! Rubbers on the sidewalk, used syringes Stuck in a hotel, two week binges Look high in the sky to remind you Even if you're lost, rainbows will find you! Chorus: {Legz Diamond} How the f** could this be? (There's a rainbow!) Up in the sky? (Over the ghetto!) There is a rainbow over the hood! (There's a rainbow... Over the hood!) [2x] Verse 2: {Violent J} Built with AIDS, Pepsi, coke I ain't talkin' Pepsi, crack smoke! All in the rain, down the drain Mom's in pain, need that boy in her veins! It's so hard, so many distractions So much negative action Keeps your attention placed Off the magic and on the waste! {Shaggy 2 Dope} If you see a rainbow, look quick Potholes will wreck yo' sh**! Don't get caught dreamin' I hope, *Gun co*king* Ya head might get locked in a scope! *Gun Shot* If you standin' there, lookin' at a rainbow You might wonder, "Where'd your brains go?" For everyone that wanna see you succeed A hundred mo' wanna see you bleed! Chorus: {Legz Diamond} How the f** could this be? (There's a rainbow!) Up in the sky? (Over the ghetto!) There is a rainbow over the hood! (There's a rainbow... Over the hood!) [2x] Bridge: {Violent J} Cars on blocks, little dumb glow Skies above, where'd our wind go? Body in the alley wit' blew out brains There'll still be a rainbow after it rains! Verse 3: {Violent J} Rainbows don't hate or discriminate It's mankind's fate to create mistakes Just look at the skies, above the gutter Above the warzones, above each other Rainbow's stretch over lands of ruin Over troubles brewin', whatever we doin' Don't live blind, a sheep in line Find it, make the best of yo' time! {Shaggy 2 Dope} G Codes, street laws, rules I drop We only get this one chance, I won't throp I want mo' than I got, I'mma find the pot At the end of the rainbow, like it or not I'm not gon' rot, stop on the block Shot by a cop in the parkin' lot When my feet stop least I gave it a shot No regrets when my d**h goes pop! Interlude: Look! (There's a rainbow!) Where? (Over the ghetto!) Right there! (There's a rainbow... Over the hood!) Chorus: {Legz Diamond} How the f** could this be? (There's a rainbow!) Up in the sky? (Over the ghetto!) There is a rainbow over the hood! (There's a rainbow... Over the hood!) [2x] Outro: There's a rainbow! (Over the ghetto!) There's a rainbow! (Over the hood!)
