[length: 05:26]
[00:06.87]King of the Ghetto
[00:10.25]Z-Ro The Crooked, that’s me
[00:13.42]King of the Ghetto Entertainment, Rap-A-Lot
[00:17.83]Dean’s List know I’m saying? That’s what I ride to
[00:24.98]When I’m rolling, through these mo’fucking city streets
[00:27.89]Corner to corner, block to block
[00:29.80]Witnessing nothing but bullshit, first hand
[00:33.03]Niggas killing niggas, know I’m saying?
[00:36.06]Everybody killing niggas, you know I’m saying?
[00:40.06]But we the main mo’fuckers, killing us
[00:42.29]Tripping out here, for these goddamn streets
[00:44.52]To look good in these streets, to have things
[00:46.78]In these motherfucking streets, man, fuck these streets
[00:50.08]Damn these city streets, are deadly to a brother
[00:52.86]’Cause they’re full of crooked cops, and killers and undercovers
[00:56.13]Everyday is the same thing, another fatal shooting
[00:59.03]Somebody daddy done died, so they mama prostituting
[01:02.24]Just to make ends meet, and get the bills paid
[01:04.97]Wonder why we bleed the corner dry, until the laws raid
[01:07.96]Trying to make a dollar, out of nickel and a dime
[01:11.09]KFC and McDonalds don’t wanna hire me, because my teeth shine
[01:14.98]In constant danger, keep one in the chamber
[01:17.73]’Cause I could become a victim, of some starving stranger
[01:21.16]Thinking he can go through my pockets, and come up with some bread
[01:24.50]When he found out I’m broke, he still gon’ leave a nigga for dead
[01:27.47]So I hustle to breathe freely, and see another day
[01:30.68]For the sake of my unborn babies, I keep a ‘K
[01:33.61]Trying to make sure the McVey name, repeat and repeat
[01:36.77]Before somebody knock me off my feet, damn these city streets
[01:40.00]Damn these city streets, are hard to live in
[01:43.15]Eighty percent of my partners are dead, the rest in prison
[01:46.44]All I see is the struggle, my tears drown my vision
[01:49.45]I never forget to mention, goddamn these city streets
[01:52.67]Damn these city streets, are hard to live in
[01:55.67]Eighty percent of my partners are dead, the rest in prison
[01:58.84]All I see is the struggle, my tears drown my vision
[02:01.77]I never forget to mention, goddamn these city streets
[02:05.37]Damn, these city streets’ll eat you alive
[02:07.98]It’s beginning to be a full time job, just to survive
[02:11.24]Tell me why I get pulled over, when I’m standing still
[02:14.23]Why my homies wanna rob me, for my big face bills
[02:17.48]It ain’t no love in our lifestyle, it’s all about greed
[02:20.56]Can’t trust nobody, ’cause everybody got a trick up they sleeve
[02:23.82]I believe in struggling, ’cause that’s all I’ve ever seen
[02:26.77]Besides the county jail, and the light of an infrared beam
[02:29.92]I use to keep a pistol, by my side
[02:32.36]But it don’t matter if I’m strapped, I’m still gonna die
[02:35.30]Whether I’m evil or good, in the suburbs or the hood death is coming
[02:39.68]Better be like Forest Gump, and just keep on running
[02:42.53]’Cause he’ll be coming, like a thief in the night
[02:44.96]Might be in the form of a jacker, trying to get you at the light
[02:48.26]Houston Texas is restless, better keep your heat under your seat
[02:51.21]’Fore somebody have your brains up under your feet, damn these city streets
[02:55.89]Damn these city streets, are hard to live in
[02:58.63]Eighty percent of my partners are dead, the rest in prison
[03:02.02]All I see is the struggle, my tears drown my vision
[03:04.67]I never forget to mention, goddamn these city streets
[03:08.02]Damn these city streets, are hard to live in
[03:11.13]Eighty percent of my partners are dead, the rest in prison
[03:14.34]All I see is the struggle, my tears drown my vision
[03:17.43]I never forget to mention, goddamn these city streets
[03:20.99]I’m 27, but I’m feeling 71
[03:23.59]I pray so much, I feel like I’m kin to the heavenly son
[03:26.59]I dodge bullets on the daily, if I don’t duck I’m stuck
[03:29.96]Then I’ll be another murder case, in back of that black truck
[03:33.06]Damn these city streets, are full of yellow tape
[03:36.03]I wish I could move around, but I feel I can’t escape
[03:38.84]Tell me where to go, tell me where to run to get away from drama
[03:42.44]Seem like everywhere I go, they wanna put me with my mama
[03:45.52]Does equality follow me? Ain’t nothing shaking
[03:48.67]Justice and liberty for niggaz, is a house that’s vacant
[03:51.78]Therefore, I’m stranded, where crimes are committed to bread
[03:54.70]Forced to watch my people fall off track, like a bad wig
[03:58.64]I dropped a lot of records, but I’m still broke
[04:00.90]Can’t afford to stay in the Four Seasons, but there’s still hope
[04:04.07]Lucifer is powerful, he ain’t got no mercy on the weak
[04:07.56]He got us suffering for nothing, motherfuck these city streets
[04:11.27]Living in the city, living in the city
[04:23.47]Living in the city, living in the city
[04:36.03]Damn these city streets, are hard to live in
[04:39.10]Eighty percent of my partners are dead, the rest in prison
[04:42.43]All I see is the struggle, my tears drown my vision
[04:45.40]I never forget to mention, goddamn these city streets
[04:48.73]Damn these city streets, are hard to live in
[04:51.63]Eighty percent of my partners are dead, the rest in prison
[04:54.95]All I see is the struggle, my tears drown my vision
[04:57.95]I never forget to mention, goddamn these city streets
[05:01.51]Living in the city, living in the city
[05:13.76]Living in the city, living in the city
