2 PAC - I Wonder If Heaven's Got A Ghetto lyrics
rate meI was raised a little young nigga doin' bad shit<br>Talk much shit, cause I never had shit<br>I can remember bein' whooped in class<br>And if I didn't pass momma would whoop my ass<br>Was it my fault poppa didn't plan it out? <br>Broke out left me to be the man of the house.<br>I couldn't take it, had to make a profit<br>Found a block, got a glock, and I cocked it<br>Makin g's was my mission<br>Movin enough of this shit to get my momma out the kitchen<br>And why must I sock a fella<br>Just to live large like rockafella<br>First you didn't give a fuck, but you learnin now<br>If you don't respect our town, then will burn you down<br>God dam, it's a mutherfuckin riot<br>Black people on a rage, police so don't try it<br>If your not from the town, then don't pass through<br>Cause some old g, fools might blast you<br>It ain't right but it's long overdue<br>We can't have peace, till the niggas get a piece too<br>I want's so you labeled me a criminal<br>And if I die, I wonda if heaven's got a ghetto.<br><br>I wonder if heaven's got a ghetto<br>I wonder if heaven's got a ghetto<br>I wonder if heaven's got a ghetto<br>I wonder if heaven's got a ghetto<br><br>Here on earth<br>Tell me what's a black life worth<br>A bottle of juice is no excuse, the truth hurts<br>And even when you take the shit<br>Move cowards get a lawyer, you can shake the shit<br>Ask rodney, natasha, and many more<br>It's been goin on for years, theres plenty more<br>When they ask me when will I violence cease? <br>When your troops stop shootin niggas down in the streets<br>Niggas had enough, time to make a difference<br>Bear witness own a whole business<br>But regard cause it's hard tryin to make ends meet<br>But we couldn't afford the shit, now everythings free<br>So we loot, please don't shot when ya see<br>I'm takin from them, cause for years they would take from me<br>Now the tables are turned around<br>You didn't listen until a nigga turned you down<br>Now bush can't stop the hit<br>I predict the shit, in 2pacalypse<br>And for once I was down with niggas<br>Felt good in the hood, being around the niggas<br>And the first time everybody let go<br>The streets is death row<br>I wonda if heaven's got a ghetto.<br><br>(chorus)<br><br>I see no changes, all I see is racist faces<br>Misplaced hate makes disgraced races<br>We under, I wonder what it takes to make this<br>One better place, let erase the wasted<br>Take the evil out the people they'll be actin right<br>Cause both black and white is smokin crack tonight<br>And the only time we deal is when we kill each other<br>It takes skill to be real, time to heal each other<br>Although it seems evident<br>We ain't ready to have a black president huh<br>And ain't a secret don't conceal the fact<br>The penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks<br>I wake up in the mornin, and ask myself<br>Is life worth livin ,should I blast myself<br>I'm tired of being poor and even worse, I'm black<br>My stomach hurts, so I'm lookin for a purse to snatch<br>Cops give a damn about a negro<br>Pull a trigga, kill a nigga , he's a hero<br>Mo' nigga, mo' nigga, mo' niggas<br>Rather be a dead then a po' nigga<br>Let the lord judge the criminals, and if I die<br>I wonda if heaven's got a ghetto.<br><br>(chorus until it fades out)
