From the Ghetto - DC YOUNG FLY

Man I’m from the streets for real, man I gotta eat for real

Everything that I touch gotta be about a buck peep the deal

I’m a young west side nigga best side nigga, everybody gotta keep a steel

I’m in a hospital bed fucked up, plugged up, a nigga had to eat the pill

Tell my mama naw, we ain’t goin' back today, procrastinate, the nigga had to

evacuate

I’m tryna go and get this money, yeah, the faster way, smash the brakes,

I’m thinkin' of a faster pace

So foul the play, I’m tryna get a bag a day, baker man, would you make me a

patty cake

It’s sad to say, niggas out here actin' fake, I’ma really go and get it and

elaborate

Know that

When your back against the wall

Ain’t nobody there to call

The pain, you gotta hide it

You gotta remain silent

Streets are for real

I’m from the ghetto

I’m from the ghetto

Streets are for real

The streets are for real

These streets are for real

I’m from the ghetto

I’m from the ghetto

These streets are for real

The streets are for real

I ain’t gonna play around

I’m from the ghetto

You fuck around and you gon' be layin' 'round here

I’m from the ghetto

The streets are for real

I swear this shit be banging for real, man

These streets, these streets are for real

Boy, I’m really from the streets, for real

Nah, don’t pose for the camera real

From the mud I’m a Tar Heel

Carolina nigga with an Eve in Adamsville

Sick and tired of the lights bein' off

Make arrangements for the late bills

Mom’s puttin' pills in her pudding

(Why?) 'cause b, all these late bills

My flow, that Nas feel, I got two Illmatics

One Steelmatic, one made of plastic

One Mike in the hood Jordan on Jackson

Only choice in the hood Trayvon or fashion

Drip on the or pass it

Fuck bein' passive, bein' rich I’m 'bout to try it

For the bread I’m gonna riot, 'cause

When your back against the wall

Ain’t nobody there to call

The pain, you gotta hide it

You gotta remain silent

Streets are for real

I’m from the ghetto

I’m from the ghetto

Streets are for real

The streets are for real

These streets are for real

I’m from the ghetto

I’m from the ghetto

These streets are for real

The streets are for real

I ain’t gonna play around

I’m from the ghetto

You fuck around and you gon' be layin' 'round here

I’m from the ghetto

The streets are for real

These streets, these streets are for real
