Song by Onyx<br /><br>

[Onyx - all talking]<br>

Official Nast'! Word is bond<br>

Yeah - yeah yeah - you know the real deal boy<br>

Word up, Official, Official, Official, Official<br>

Word up, check me, I'm the Official, Nastee<br>

It's like that, yeah it's like this<br>

Son hold up, what up what up<br>

We gonna rhyme right now, word is bond<br>

Give it all we got, c'mon yo, c'mon..<br>

<br>

[Fredro Starr]<br>

A lot of things have changed since I grown up<br>

Half my brothers got locked, half got blown UP!<br>

From playin "two hand touch" and the games in the street<br>

But the games ain't the same, now we playin with heat<br>

SEE THERE'S DANGER, in my buildin, they rollin dice there<br>

Ain't nuttin nice there, who dare with ice-stare?!<br>

My hallway is like Rahway, to the thugs in the doorway<br>

Peace, kid I'm out, NO DOUBT! <br>

We just hangin on the corner, puffin trees just<br>

tryin to stay warm, sippin ?Easy? Jesus!<br>

Problems after problem, it keeps revolvin<br>

They got us starvin, that's why we out robbin (knahmsayin?)<br>

There's days I can't remember like the 6th of December<br>

I think it was September nah, maybe it was November (what?!)<br>

This kid got rocked, just for steppin on some sneakers<br>

Heard from Tamika, he's gettin buried in a speaker<br>

cause his mom's was on that *inhaling*, gettin laced<br>

She not SMOKIN IT! She took one bad hit<br>

<br>

Chorus: repeat 2X<br>

<br>

Aiyyo (YO!) can't escape the ghetto<br>

Hell no, it's everywhere you go!<br>

Aiyyo (YO!) can't escape the ghetto<br>

Hell no, it's everywhere you go!<br>

<br>

[Sonsee]<br>

I'm not your role model, I'll drink the whole bottle<br>

Don't follow, nobody cause you never know tomorrow<br>

Just look around, EVERYWHERE, it's despair<br>

It ain't no care here, and good times is rare<br>

or seldom last long, they always fadin<br>

when my fam is dyin over money and gettin incarcerated (yeah)<br>

Just to be a statistic, it's sadistic<br>

Too realistic, we goin this QUICK!<br>

The other night kids got bad (Word, T-N-T ran out?)<br>

Got them kids Bill and Ted, they called the law news spread<br>

Last week they was blazin on the corner, bullets ricochet<br>

Hit somebody's baby, and they kid may be dead<br>

Resultin from the ill {shit}, to say the least<br>

Livin in the ghetto... rest in peace!<br>

<br>

[Onyx]<br>

Yo.. HEY!<br>

cause where I'm from, the good die young<br>

The sky is grey, we never see the sun<br>

The ghetto life, is live and let live<br>

on the day to day..<br>

<br>

[Sticky Fingaz]<br>

It all began when Shorty Rock took the law in his own hand <br>

Sick of seein his moms gettin beat up by his old man <br>

So he did what any kid woulda done<br>

Went into the closet, got his pop's gun<br>

Who need enemy when you got family?<br>

It's hard to get a job when you look like me (WORD UP!)<br>

See people don't just rob cause they on unemployment<br>

Some do it for the pure satisfaction enjoyment<br>

Brrrr, it's cold, this world is freezin <br>

Folks gettin murdered over no apparent reason (NO!)<br>

Packin they bags, talkin bout they leavin<br>

But where you gonna go? You can't escape THE GHETTO!<br>

You see more when you HIGH, even less when you LOW<br>

You can't run from your own shadow<br>

<br>

Chorus<br>

<br>

{*scratches "my little man, shorty doo wop"*}<br>

<br>

[Onyx] In every ghetto, we packin heavy metal (repeat 4X)<br>

<br>

{*ad libs and "Official Nast'!" to fade*}<br>

<br>
