Ras Kass - Godz N The Hood lyrics
rate meI throw my two cents in, we’ll make it five percent, then
If black man is God then the ghetto must be Heaven
Under fire, holy war, against the races of the devil
Or the non-believing atheist that restrict us to this level.
Level yard where there's guards or street level
Where's there's no cross guards, so the children get crossed
Get lost get struck by vehicles with no car facts
These type of rides can't buy at a car max.
Self hatred from hatred, the process is ancient, ignorance, violence.
Innocence they take it, she once was a higher priestess in a temple so sacred.
And now anyone can enter, desecrate it
We went from pyramids to cribs
From Amen-Rah to niggas that we rah-rah
Grown men continuing the curse
A curious case of Benjamin Button living life in reverse.
Hook:
Lil ghetto boy playing in the ghetto streets
What ya gonna do when you grow up
And have to face responsibility?
Transforming from old dog to more god
MK Asante with a blow job.
Create a Mecca in the ghetto what is your ...
Pilgrimage instilling kids with some no large.
Mathematics and knowledge what is your prob?
Nigga, are you dumber than a fucking door knob
Avalanche they brains with white shit, that's a snow job
Discovered by little Shawties while stealing forties.
Fuck you talking about, she move west late fifties
Black migration from the South, advance to Louisiana.
With my grandpa and grandma, granny, seven sisters, three brothers.
Dream of less discrimination, better education
We Cali natives, first generation!
Watts Towers, wilted flowers,
A lot of us don't make it to adults succumbing to white power.
Tattoo on their face, what a young nigga do?
What about when you're 28 on a job interview?
My brothers and sisters, followers instead of lead us
Rich chicks with a bad attitude is called a diva.
But a broke chick with a bad attitude, just called a stupid bitch
I'll preach if you insist, consequences and repercussions
When the boys turn to men and the self destruction, uh!
Hook:
Lil ghetto boy playing in the ghetto streets
What ya gonna do when you grow up
And have to face responsibility?
Gods in the hood, trapped in facades in the hood
Always getting even cause what's the odds in the hood.
So we mob, so misunderstood we over stand
City of applause clapping like it's Pakistan.
Rosewood to Rosecrans, young boys on their Conan
Freedom or death, not a slogan
Like the nature of a threat ain't a slow jam.
My... off that went through the badlands
Black cinematics, so visual
And if it's gods in the ghetto this the ritual
Children of the night candlelight the vigil
Smoke ... with Allison now we visible
Something out of nothing maximize the minimal
Prison and dust turning Gods to criminals
Forcing us to revise these spirituals
For your mental reviving our pinnacle!
Hook:
Lil ghetto boy playing in the ghetto streets
What ya gonna do when you grow up
And have to face responsibility?
This the part for...
This the song for those who finished singing!
Yeah, check it!
People’s perception is to lead the weapon
You can lead the rebel to the revolution,
But you can’t make it through the shooting.
I’m schooled in the ways, cause the teachers used to curse at me
Indulge in the perks of the job like Nurse Jackie.
Self-medicated, I’m writing my own prescription
Self-preservation and diet is my condition.
Conflicted by these visions of living with my addiction
Convicted by religion, this planet is Heaven’s prison.
This my resurrection invested my breath as eleven risen
When you survive and not living, you ain't making the best decisions.
Hardly a role model, I'm quick to stick chicks
That's thicker than Coke bottles get wicked with no problems.
So shallow with my feelings, I'm feeling my soul hollow
Said my voices been wanting the people to chose to follow.
Never gasp I don't feel I'm so special I'm no Mavado
The green as avocado.
These light weighted rappers get faded off of Moscato
Mix it with bravado I'm legendary Apollo
Hook:
Lil ghetto boy playing in the ghetto streets
What ya gonna do when you grow up
And have to face responsibility?
