Ghetto Life
T.B Lyrics

Nigga it's, be-M, J-are, Weezy baby
I'm Lil Wayne and I'm going to show you what I'm capable of.

Trying to see him, naw, he need to even eighty (shut yo chips up)
I'm not sure why you're trying to talk about me, but you need to back off.

And, I ain't speaking G's, I'm talking M
I'm not talking about gangsters, I'm talking about money.

And I'm walking like a pimp in (pimp) them all street tims
I'm walking with style and confidence in my expensive shoes.

Man shorty got more green than a Boston Gems
This girl has more money than any rich person in Boston.

Green ? they don't cost in rims
Money can't be bought in car rims.

Wayne appear, nigga put a walls in ya ear
When Lil Wayne appears, he commands everyone's attention.

Let ya know a fucking boss up in here
I'm letting you know that I'm in charge here.

How much it cost for this here?
What's the going price for this item?

How much it cost for this year?
What's the total amount spent for this year?

'cause Me and Stunna bout to buy it
Birdman (Stunna) and I are about to purchase it.

Put yo spoons down, Cash Money off the diet
Don't waste your time on trivial things, we're all about making money.

I pass in a ride on triot, that's traze
I'm cruising in a three-wheeled vehicle called a triot.

But those who was in the days when the teachers was on that pay
In the past, teachers were paid less than they are today.

I'm raise in the cajun cage, with a bit of amazing grace
I was raised in a tough environment, but I've managed to overcome it.

And prone to move coke at a amazing pace
I have a talent for selling cocaine quickly.

Man my daddy super Dave, let's race it
My dad is really cool, let's have a competition.

Real not have me, be I'ma win it, I'm a champ
I'm confident that I can win any competition.

In the ghetto life, I'm a ghetto boy(ghetto boy)
I come from a tough background and I identify with that.

Living in the ghetto me, in the ghetto streets
I live in a rough neighborhood and face its challenges every day.

(Somebody tell me what's cracking before)
Can someone update me on what's happening in the neighborhood?

I'm a ghetto life, any second dog I can blow up
I'm vulnerable to danger and could get hurt at any moment.

For ghetto me, and you best to be watchin me
For someone like me, who grew up in the ghetto, you need to pay attention to what I'm doing.

Ghetto, ghetto, Ghetto Life
My daily existence is entrenched in the poverty and violence of the ghetto.

See I ride in them shake (34's) when I'm pimping these hoes (beyotch!)
I drive a car with big rims when I'm prostituting women.

It's just that, (Sunshine City!) when I'm smoking that dro
I get high on marijuana and feel like I'm in a happy place.

When it comes to this ice, real livin his life
I feel alive when I'm wearing expensive jewelry.

Get money, pimping hoes, with these ghetto type
I'm making money by exploiting women in the street.

Nigga check the background, I got O.G. stripe
If you check my history, you'll see that I'm a real OG (Original Gangsta).

Just a hood rich nigga flipping birds on a bike
I'm just a guy from the ghetto who's become rich by selling drugs.

Not survive in this world with guns, pahs, and knives
It's hard to stay alive in this world with so much violence.

Pour out, a lil' liquor, mami lost her life
Let's pour out some alcohol for a woman who recently died.

All my niggas in the penitentiary holding that life
All of my friends who are in prison serving life sentences.

See I'm stunning for my niggas with this chromed out pipes
I'm showing off my fancy motorcycle to impress my friends.

This swish interry foreign german life's (bitch)
I'm living a luxurious lifestyle with expensive European cars.

And I keep this big toolie just protect my ice (holla at me nigga)
I carry a large gun for protection from people who might steal my jewelry.

I act, a damn fool, when I'm full of that white (absolute bitch)
I behave very aggressively when I'm high on cocaine.

But it's the Birdman daddy with these ghe-tto stripes
Birdman has earned his reputation as a gangster.

Ghetto hood (Uptown), Ghe-tto pipe (9 Millimeter)
Ghetto lifestyle includes a lot of violence and guns.

Ghetto walk (yeah), With my ghe-tto life (Beyotch)
I walk with confidence through the hardships of my ghetto life.

Hey yo the duck just born, I need seven more leaders
I need more people to join me and follow my lead.

See-Five, Fo'-Fum, and a Seven-Fo' fever (what else)
I want people who are five years old, fifty years old, and seventy years old to follow me.

Act up though I let the Fo' fever leave ya (leave ya)
If you cause trouble, I'll make you regret it.

Dice game, head crack, Six-Fo' fever (fever)
I'm addicted to gambling and have a passion for it.

When I'm in L.A., I got Six-Fo' fever (fever)
I have a lot of energy and enthusiasm for life when I'm in Los Angeles.

Fever for the flava of a six-foot diva (let 'em know)
I'm attracted to tall and beautiful women.

I told the po to feave her, I'm a bout crook
I told the police to leave me alone because I'm a thief.

Out to just, not a chef ? know how to cook
I know how to cook drugs, not food.

With the piece stocks, cook up the rocks
I carry guns and cook cocaine.

Seventh Delenix is hot, I done cook up the block
My drugs are so good, I've made a lot of money.

Send glocks to ya block, out done cook up yo spots
I've sent my friends to sell drugs on your street corner.

That's how coke for that cook up his watch (what else though?)
Selling drugs is how I can afford expensive jewelry.

I'm one of those, that will look up to Pac (why?)
I admire Tupac Shakur and his music for its themes of gangster lifestyle.

'cause when I get pulled over, cook up the cops (damn, follow what)
When the police stop me, I try to use my wit and charm to avoid getting arrested.

All they say is, look at his drop (what else?)
They're always admiring my expensive car whenever the police stop me.

Hand on my liscence, look at his watch (fuck em)
Police stop me just to check out my expensive accessories.

But, thug shit dogg, we down with Baby (baby)
We support Birdman and his gangster lifestyle.

We come through clowning baby (baby)
We come through with pride and confidence.

And if we, surrounded babies, ducktape the kids to the wall
If we're surrounded by enemies, we'll put duct tape over the mouths of their children to shut them up.

Then shoot circle all around the baby, Killa!
We'll then shoot our guns in circles around their innocent children.

It's nothin man, Killa!
That's just the way we are.

Diplomats, Cash Money
Our groups are united in their gangster lifestyle.

Baby, holla!
Birdman, give us a shout out!

Jim Jones, Santana, what's good, Roc-a-Fella
We're acknowledging other people in the music industry.

Fly, to hood near you
We're going to continue spreading our music to other areas.

Then they got 'em cheap (whoo!)
Our music is affordable and accessible to everyone.

(Yeah, ya know, ya know)
Everyone in the music industry knows us.

Get that call out one more time
We're asking for someone to give us more recognition and attention.
