[02:39.26] Crack town ghetto in the city
[02:41.89] Buildings are abandoned, but the girls are still pretty
[02:44.47] A child looks in the mirror
[02:45.85] Yeah, to see my life clearer
[02:47.28] All I see is ghetto keys to this jet black Corolla
[02:49.74] 911 Porsche, of course 9-1-1 don't mean help
[02:52.72] The only ones that need help is them sons without wealth
[02:55.52] It's apparent that this nation they don't know what they facing
[02:58.48] Young natural-born killers and these street corner masons
[03:01.57] You want that type of money that you see in the mob cliques
[03:04.14] With your stashes in the drawers
[03:05.26] Yes with the lumps under my carpet
[03:07.25] Listen to your heart, why should I listen to you?
[03:09.64] I was here from the start, but you don't bring no money through
[03:12.50] Look I only feel capes and to get it I kill Jakes
[03:15.46] By the time I'm 20 wanna be the ghetto Bill Gates
[03:18.21] You a wannabe an angel
[03:19.57] That was in my brain too
[03:21.03] Now the only star spangle's coming out my cango
[03:23.88] Now that I'm out, it's like the whole world flames you
[03:26.51] Although the ghetto's nothing like the conclusion I came to
[03:29.24] Your friends see you playing both sides
[03:31.02] Now they don't claim you
[03:32.21] Ghetto children change the world
[03:33.66] Don't let the world change you come on word
[03:35.36] Come for yours, 'cause dreams come true
[03:38.15] And this is the message that we bring through
[03:40.71] Say hey now, hey now, now
[03:44.37] Hey now, hey now
[03:46.52] No matter what teachers say to you
[03:49.49] Ghetto children are beautiful
[03:51.83] Say hey now, hey now, now
[03:55.42] Hey now, hey now
[03:57.97] Come for yours 'cause dreams come true
[04:00.69] And this is the message that we bring through

[04:20.96] Little chosen ones they thought of
[04:23.76] The whole world wants to be apart of
[04:26.05] A little ghetto things, a little ghetto things, ayy yo
[04:32.21] Little chosen ones they thought of
[04:35.07] The whole world wants to be apart of
[04:36.91] My little ghetto kings, my little ghetto queens, come on
[04:43.92]
