Ghetto
Fed-X Lyrics

I'm screamin as I'm dreamin I see evil bad spirits
I often have nightmares about evil and dangerous spirits

So I wake up in the middle of the night to write lyrics
I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night to write and express my thoughts

In a cold sweat heard magnums in my dreams my ears ring
Sometimes my dreams are so intense that I wake up in a cold sweat and my ears are ringing

So this time on the mic I bring horror like Stephen King
I'm going to rap about horror and scary things, like Stephen King does in his books

All my good times are turned bad like the Evan's
All of my good memories have been corrupted and turned bad, like the Evans family in the TV show 'Good Times'

Seen hundreds get wounded but like a thousand 187's
I've seen so much violence and death that it feels like I've witnessed a thousand murders

Everybody that was so real they were now phony
People I used to trust and consider genuine have now shown their true, phony colors

And the nigga that used to be my homie, shit he turned on me
Even one of my closest friends has betrayed me and turned against me

I got a 45 that spit hot lead that'll drill him
I have a gun that can shoot deadly bullets and will use it to kill someone if necessary

The nigga know too much about me, so it's a must that I kill him
Since someone knows too much about me and my activities, I must kill them to prevent them from spilling that info

If it's time available at the shrink, man I need to spend it
If I had the time, I should see a psychiatrist because I am unstable and have issues to work out

'cause now I see the chair rockin, but ain't nobody in it
I'm going insane, as I now see things that are not there, like a chair that is rocking without anyone on it

I'm psycho like Norman Bates in the fresh side of my mind and
I am mentally unstable and crazy, like the character Norman Bates from the movie 'Psycho'

All I think about is comittin redrums like The Shining
Every thought I have is about committing murder, like in the movie 'The Shining'

So Lord please help me and forgive me for my sins
I pray that God forgives me for the bad things I have done

And tell me, why do I deserve the twilight zone that I'm in?
I don't understand why I am in such an insane, dangerous position

Somebody ease the pain I need a shot of novacaine
I need something to numb my pain and make me feel better, like a shot of novacaine

Or angel dust smoke circulatin through my brain
Alternatively, I could use angel dust to get high and forget about my problems

So who got the slaughter water, la la the brain killer
Who has access to a deadly weapon that can kill people with ease

I got five on it, four stick, to the first dealer
I have money to buy drugs or weapons and I am willing to spend it

With no screws left it's like my head is now hollow
I have lost my sanity, and my head feels empty and lacking

I'm so crazy seems like my own shadow's scared to follow
I am so insane that even my shadow would be afraid to be associated with me

Ain't that a bitch, 1-O caught up in the horror show
It's frustrating that I am trapped in this terrible situation and can't seem to escape it

But ain't no popcorn or bon bons, it's all teflons nigga
This is not a movie, but real life, and there is no happy ending, only bullets and guns

I'm slangin ?nocous? on the boulders
I am selling drugs, specifically 'nocous', on the streets

Keys, O-Z's and quarters
I sell drugs in different amounts, from keys, to ounces, to quarters

Come along, get up, stand up, and come and get your sack
Customers, come here and buy your drugs from me

I'm bustin nigga's hearts with this motherfuckin crack
I am destroying people's lives and hearts by selling them crack cocaine

I'm sayin please oh please oh please give me just one more hit
I am addicted to drugs and need another fix, despite the damage it does to me and others

Now I'm surrounded by skinny motherfuckers with glass dicks
I am in the midst of other drug addicts who are also skinny and addicted to smoking crack

I'll jack Jack and Jill, smack Bill Clinton and his bitch
I am willing to commit crimes against anyone, including nursery-rhyme characters, presidents, and their wives

Tell po po they can't fade me I'll kill him and his snitch
I am willing to kill police officers and their informants to protect my drug business

I'm a bad influence, I'm a bad influence
I am a terrible role model for kids and others, promoting drugs, crime and violence

And motherfuckers don't want to know what I'll tell these fuckin kids
People would be horrified to hear what I would say to children about drugs and violence

Fuck school nigga, bang with me
Instead of learning in school, come participate in illegal activities with me

Listen, my 44 protects ya if any nigga tries to test ya
My gun, a 44, will protect you if anyone tries to attack you, but may also be used to attack others

Nigga who the fuck is you? I'm Peer Pressure
I am a force of peer pressure, encouraging others to participate in drugs, violence and crime

Took the last bit of the thorazine, I'm at the end of the rainbow
I have used up all of my medicine, and am now at the end of my rope

There ain't no fuckin pot of gold, just the ghetto horror show
I have no hope, and am stuck in this terrible place with no happy ending in sight

I got to testify, I grew up in this ghetto horror
I have to tell the truth about the horror I experienced growing up in the ghetto

?Justaora? got me spittin from the ghetto Torah
The horror and violence of the ghetto has influenced my rap and lyrics

Ghetto bible survival I'm hittin rivals in their vitals
I have learned to survive in the ghetto using violence and fighting against others who try to stop me

Tryin to rob titles, from livin idols
I am trying to gain fame and success by robbing others of their titles and status

I give recitals on the drugs to sex to county checks to Lex
I talk about my experiences with drugs, sex, money and power in my lyrics

Your respect from the hot techs
I earn respect from others because of my skills with guns and weapons

And it's the same for me 'cause the fame don't wipe away the black
Fame and success can't erase the problems and struggles that come with being black in the ghetto

Westside can't react
People from the westside are powerless to change their situation

Braniac with this maniac, get to losin 'fore the schools get to oozin
I am both intelligent and crazy, and warn that people should start losing and giving up before things get even worse

And your bitch get to ?twosin?
And your girlfriend or wife might cheat on you or betray you

The niggas at 600 pools and like the Pope
The people who control things have lots of power, like the 600 concubines that the Pope used to have

Get on the fuckin city F niggas like to vote
I am criticizing the government and how people blindly follow and vote for those in power

It's the horror, no tomorrow in your eyes
Everything is dark and negative with no hope or future in sight

But look at me nigga I believe I can fly
Despite this negativity, I still have some hope and believe I can succeed

You believe you can die, well shit it might happen
You might think you can't die, but anything can happen and you should be prepared

I believe I can rhyme and look, I start rappin nigga
I believe in myself and my skills as a rapper, and that's what I am passionate about

Only a fool would go there at night!
It's dangerous to be in the ghetto at night, only a fool would risk it
