Snoop Dogg - Lil' Ghetto Boy lyrics

Wake up, jumped out my bed Hung in a 2 man cell wit my homie Lil 1/2 Dead Murder was the case that they gave me Dear God, I wonder can you save me I'm only 18, so I'm a young buck It's a ride, if I don't scrap, I'm getting stuck But that's the life of a G, I guess Ese's way deep, shanked two in they chest Bests run 'cause brothers is dropping quicker Ugn, too late, damn, down goes another n***a Bouncing off the walls, throwing them dogs Getting a rep as a young hog It ain't nothing like the street life Betta be strapped wit yo clip, 'cause ain't no fist fight So I guess I gots ta handle mine Since I did the crime, I gots ta do my time [Chorus] Lil' ghetto boy Playing in the ghetto streets What'cha gonna do when you grow up And have to face responsibility Now, I'm 'trolling the dove, sitting on swoll 27 years old, off on parole, stroll I'm back up on my feet wit my mind on the money That I'm making as soon as I touch the street Things done changed but it's alright Remember they used to thump but now they blast, right But it ain't no thing to me Cause now I'm what they call a loced-a**ed O.G. The little homies from the hood wit grip are the ones I get with cause I'm down to set-trip n***a, I'm bigger than you, so what ya want to do Didn't know we had a 22 Straight sitting behind his back I'm grab his pockets and then I heard six caps I fell to the ground wit blood on my hands I didn't understand How a n***a so young could bust a cap I use to be the same way back I guess that's what I get (for what) For trying to jack them little homies for they bread Lil' ghetto boy Playing in the ghetto streets What'cha gonna do when you grow up And have to face responsibility Something for the real OG's to get wit Some facts, made our made, now you want to run and play Like every single day, really doe You know me, I'm the smooth macadamia, gaming them for my homie No need to be uncalm if you pack right And learning just enough to keep your sack right Late nights, I wonder what they getting fo' Early morning on the corners, what they hitting fo' Seven young G's put they serve down In a jeep ride, east side what they swerve now Not thinking about what's really going on Got crept on, stepped on, now they gone I spent 4 years in the county wit nutting but convicts around me But now I'm back at the pound And we expose ways for the youth to survive Some think it's wrong but we tend to think it's right So make all them ends you can make 'Cause when you're broke, you break, check it out So ain't no need for your mama to trip 'Cause you's a hustling a** youngsta, clocking your grip Lil' ghetto boy Playing in the ghetto streets What'cha gonna do when you grow up And have to face responsibility
