In The Ghetto ft. Sekani BRGHTN Lyrics

Yo, yo

See I come from where they set them curfews right before the dark

Boy don't go inside that park if you really know what's sharp

Stainless steels and pots and pans them hammers sound just like a harp

They ain't know that I would stay afloat and man into a shark

Welcome to my side of arc we got jiggas we got narcs

Borderlines where we depart

Iron man no Tony Stark

Supermarket right across the street to me that's kinda far

I'm just writing out these stories like I stood inside the bars

Every nigga from the ghetto got a saga and a part

Ain't no ambulance around we use a shower for the scars

Handyman I got the loud you got a problem then we spark

Light the KD let them guard every shooter think they God

Every bitch done caught up with a gangsta claimed he had no heart

Couple solid niggas really cotton soft when times is hard

In the hood we all the same the only difference is the card

Baby soldiers in the field we been enlisted from the start

In the ghetto

Of New York City

It's a dog eat dog world

Bad mind from the yutes dem I can see it in ya heart

In the ghetto

Of New York City

It's a dog eat dog world

Bad mind from the yutes dem I can see it in ya heart

Blood be dropping from my eyes

I cry the tears of Jesus Christ

Cause I done seen too many Judas in this concrete jungle I call it

New York City

Just know the streets will take your life

Through jealousy and envy

Greed and police goes hand in hand

They ain't the only one we fear

We fear our neighbors and our leaders

Placing the drugs within our reaches

Really, what can they teach us

I see you feening for that next hit

Killed a mother for that bullshit

Now you leaving a baby crying

Lost alone without a place to call her own

But no regrets

When ya skin gets a touch of the needle, you reach ya high

While ya counterpart is laying on the lows

You made a victim from your sistren now the vicious cycle starts

What falls apart you lose ya heart

Just know ya karma slowly come (Doot, doot, doot, doot)

Police is bussing on our innocence

We say they guilty but they innocent

Look at Zimmerman, as the prime example for the ignorance

This killing trend has a group of people stay diminishing

In the ghetto

Of New York City

It's a dog eat dog world

Bad mind from the yutes dem I can see it in ya heart

In the ghetto

Of New York City

It's a dog eat dog world

Bad mind from the yutes dem I can see it in ya heart

In the ghetto

Of New York City

It's a dog eat dog world

Bad mind from the yutes dem I can see it in ya heart

Bad mind from the yutes dem I can see it in ya heart

Bad mind from the yutes dem I can see it in ya heart

Bad mind from the yutes dem I can see it in ya heart

Bad mind, bad mind from the yutes dem I can see it in ya heart

Bad mind from the yutes dem I can see it in ya heart
