I Got the Hook-Up! movie - Ghetto Vet lyrics

rate me

Song by Ice Cube<br /><br>

Life....<br>

niggas used to come and get me <br>

when it was time to disagree with an enemy<br>

pass the hennessy it gives me energy<br>

packed the gat in the small of my back<br>

where these niggas at I clear the whole pack<br>

talkin' shit cuz I'm down for my set I'm a vet <br>

smokin' on a wet cigarette <br>

(who these niggas think they are)<br>

(wishin' on a ghetto star i represent my tar)<br>

I start bustin' and they scatter like water bugs <br>

cuz these westside niggas is harder thugs <br>

enslve us but nothin' can save us from sportin' Ben Davis<br>

shootin' at your neighbors<br>

(cuz sometimes I feel like a nut don't give a fuck when I open ya up)<br>

hot rocks fly from the back seat and <br>

busta ass niggas run like a track meet<br>

an if you crawl in the middle bleed mo' than a little (what)<br>

killer king is the hospital<br>

feelin' numb from the bullets I hum <br>

and when they hit black mothers have fits I don't give a shit<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

[Mack 10]<br>

Fool I'm a vet you can bet that <br>

I could dance underwater and not get wet (check it)<br>

[Mr. Short Khop]<br>

Its rainin' bullets and I'm still there<br>

(Foe life) I'm still there<br>

<br>

my house shoes get wet from the dew on the grass<br>

up early in the morning takin' out the trash<br>

feelin' like a loser alcohol abuser <br>

two youngsters roll up on a beach cruiser<br>

one on the peddles the other on the handle bars (what)<br>

tryin' be ghetto stars they said:<br>

Are you from the westside is it so? <br>

i said hell yea and who wanta to know (me)<br>

in slow mo fo' fo' slugs face down in the mud <br>

puddle full of blood left for dead <br>

the pain starts to spread now I can't feel my legs<br>

I meet doctor who at King Drew medical center <br>

as I enter I.C.U.<br>

he said the bullet hit a nerve that was vital<br>

I said I can't move my legs he said don't try to<br>

now this ain't the end my friend but you'll probably never walk again<br>

I sit there motionless holdin' this pain inside contemplating suicide<br>

at night I jerk and jerk<br>

but my dick don't work it don't even hurt (damn)<br>

now who'd ever thought a nigga rude as Ice Cube <br>

I be pissin' through a tube Fool i'm a vet<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

[Mack 10]<br>

Fool I'm a vet you can bet that <br>

I could dance underwater and not get wet (check it)<br>

[Mr. Short Khop]<br>

Its rainin' bullets and I'm still there<br>

young ghetto nigga in a wheelchair<br>

<br>

fuck a V-A they need G-A <br>

gang hospital for a crippal now I'm drinkin' rippal<br>

same corner same hood I'm still there<br>

with bandanas tied to my wheel chair<br>

To all the hoodrat hoes I'm fired<br>

they mad cuz my tongue get tired<br>

now everybody wanna put they dope on me <br>

sayin' I won't get searched by the LAPD<br>

I'm sitting on a doorway duece five<br>

Dependin on that to keep my ass alive<br>

I don't got bows but my arm's about a one-six<br>

My fuckin legs, lookin like tooth picks<br>

some times I can't deal got to beg the B G's to roll me up the hill <br>

put me on the porch now I'm on the torch smokin' cocaine<br>

just to maintain nutin' to gain nutin' to lose <br>

and last night I couldn't make it to the bathroom<br>

feelin' like a two year old you can't get a sip from the brew I hold<br>

nigga its the only friend to a stranger AKA hadicap gangbanger<br>

there's a lot in my life I regret becomin' a ghetto vet<br>

Fool I'm a Vet<br>

<br>

[Chorus (2X)]<br>

[Mack 10]<br>

Fool I'm a vet you can bet that <br>

I could dance underwater and not get wet (check it)<br>

[Mr. Short Khop]<br>

Its rainin' bullets and I'm still there<br>

young ghetto nigga in a wheelchair<br>

<br>

Life.....<br>

Yea....<br>

Life...<br>

Yea....<br>

Life... Life....<br>

Dedicated to all the ghetto vets <br>

for every nigga that done took one for the hood<br>

<br>
