Текст (слова) песни: Ed O.G and Da Bulldogs - Life of a Kid in the Ghetto

 
"Kid from the ghetto, kiddie from the city"	--- E Double 
 
[Ed O.G.] 
Now growin up as a kid in the ghetto 
There wasn`t no horses, no lake or no meadow 
And I bet you`ll find it hard for you to settle 
In the house I was Edward, on the streets my name was Edo 
My pops passed fast when I was just about 8 
All of my success is to my mother, god bless her and thanks 
For raisin me the right way without the help of my dad 
All of the role models I had today are in the rehab 
As I got older I got bolder 
My hands got bigger and now it`s time for me to hold a 
.38 or any kind of gun 
And just wait for a sucker to start some 
I`m in my freshman year in a gang actin naughty 
Me and Brett was rollin ball for his older brother Donnie 
But both of us were scared so we gave it to Little Jay 
Because he kept on sayin that ( ? ) pumped around his way 
But at that time I thought the shit was cool 
We used to ( ? ) every day after school 
And get drunk at nights and go start more fights 
If it was wrong then we did it, we couldn`t do nothin right 
Now I`m still in the gang, I think my posse`s no joke 
Until our first gang fight, then everybody broke 
Except for five of us, it`s a wonder we survived the rush 
Cause we was outnumbered so we had to think fast 
We did the sensible thing, and that was to haul ass 
Now I`m out of the gang, but ain`t nothin changed 
Sometimes I walk around the way and everything`s still the same 
Except for Easter, me, Glen and Little James 
Met up with the posse and it felt kinda strange 
Because everyone was mad, cryin, no laughin 
And then I said, "What`s up yo, tell me what happened?" 
Then someobdy said, "Lee`s dead," I`m thinkin 
Damn, no way, I seen him earlier today 
Now that`s fucked up, and in my body rage struck up 
And I was with it to get the niggaz who did it 
But we didn`t make a move that night to go ill 
And that`s when I seriously said it`s time to chill 
I don`t have no enemies but some of the people might not like me 
But that`s not a reason for you to wanna fight me 
But that`s the way it is, and that`s word to the Edo 
Cause that`s the life of a kid in the ghetto 
 
"Kid from the ghetto, kiddie from the city" 
"Young kid from the ghetto, kiddie from the city"
