Ghetto Smile
[Intro: Big Scoob]
Ghetto smile
You know what I mean?
Sometimes in this place, smiles
It's where we from, man
[Verse 1: Big Scoob]
Used to pray, Granny told us "pray if you in need"
But the homies told me"take it nigga, fill your greed"
Hold your family saicrad, love ones, can’t replace it
Keep it loyal to the soial, nigga, never faking
Rainy days, cloudy skys, since I been alive
It's been a long ride, long jurny, I survived
Imma strive till the sun shines in my eyes
Till them better ways, brighter days have arived
Built to win, Imma keep a 5th by my side
I fit the Wiskey in the 5th for this ride
Full of pride, bullitproof, so I can't die
Wrong and right, how I’m raised, how I live my life
Pushing something, tryna make something out of nothing
Quick to lose it if I'm feeling like I pushed the button
I ain't special, I'm just speaking on the law of the land
In the ghetto, hold your metal, nigga, be a man
[Chorus: Nesto The Owner]
In the ghetto there's a smile
Moving through the streets
All the homies smile for me
In the ghetto there's a smile
[Verse 2: Boogie Man]
Where I'm from, we smiling when the cheque come
DBT cards, we balling hard when the cheque come
But when the cheque done, we hustle for the breadcrumbs
All for the method of overcoming the outcome
Regardlous of the outcome, we smile
Get something out of nothing, if you fit to walk a mile
It's the ghetto motherfucker, it ain’t never been easy
But tender as a mother’s love, never beneath me
I seen it all, from mothers pimping their own kids
To mothers of the struggle moving mountains for they kids
Don't even trip, a lot of good came from it
All the bad shit with it, but the strong go and get it
It ain’t no choice in the ghetto, ghetto people, can you feel it?
Keep your head to the sky, let them know you in the building
Man I'm ghetto and I'm proud of it, can't nobody change that
Ain’t a motherfucker breathing that could rearange that
[Chorus: Nesto The Owner]
In the ghetto there's a smile
Moving through the streets
All the homies smile for me
In the ghetto there's a smile
[Verse 3: Nesto The Owner]
Canzis City, a lovely place they love to hate
Either rap, or you moving powder like funnal cakes
I done seen it, from homies dieing to prostitution
Flipping burgers, tripple murders while they shooting
I'm just praying for some sunshine
And hope these kids can have some fun times
At least one time
In stead of killing a brother for wearing different colors
Fuck the bastard, now the paster gotta kiss his mother
Main reason a liquor store's on every corner
And when I'm rolling, these cops patrolling, they pull us over
Man, there's fishes in these damb streets
Jail for me, only guarantee my family eat
A brighter day is just a block away
Normally them clowns scare ya, but not today
My lil nephew quickly put a smile on my face
Just to see him growing older every single day
And take this pain away
[Chorus: Nesto The Owner]
In the ghetto there's a smile
Moving through the streets
All the homies smile for me
In the ghetto there's a smile
