[Verse 1]
In the Ghetto need money, respect and power
Take it if we ain't getting ours
Been looking around on the streets
They on the net, searching on a browser
We found ways to be getting our pounds up
Washing up, don't need a sponge or scourer
Robbing stuff, always kept it when I found drugs
Chop cards over the phone or a counter
Someone's getting banged if I'm pulling up trousers
Nowadays will I throw hands? Doubt it
Shells in revolvers, spinning around it
Line him sweet with this SIG Sauer
Dots not chopped so these twin towers
They won't praise you whеn you're alive
Bet whеn you're dead, they wanna give you your flowers
Going to jail was nothing to be proud of
Bro's fresh home, still champagne showers
Don't make me camp out houses
Running down siblings, gunning down spouses
Tunning' man victim, tryna pronounce him
Don't step in and not check your surroundings
Don't step in the streets, gets peak
Deep, you might end up drowning

[Chorus]
Better keep a weapon in reach in the Ghetto
If you're getting nicked don't speak in the Ghetto
Hella' jealousy, tryna make it outta the Ghetto
Tryna leave a legacy when I'm leaving the Ghetto
Better keep a weapon in reach in the Ghetto
If you're getting nicked don't speak in the Ghetto
Hella' jealousy, tryna make it outta the Ghetto
Tryna leave a legacy when I'm leaving the Ghetto
[Verse 2]
In the Ghetto need power, respect and money
So we shot food and moves get studied
Best that you free up that loot
Don't give it up, then things get ugly
Side if they seen, then we shoot
Tryna leave the scene all bloody
Behind the driver seat
Three man, two live machines tryna catch us a duppy
Gave bro the smoke on my left hand side
But I ain't pass him a dutchie
Lack once and get locked
It's every time that you gotta get lucky
Lack once and get got
Might rest forever if you get too comfy
Roll in the rover
See what we discover when we in this discovery
Get picked off from this four door truck
Then they get picked up
They keep making recoveries
Feds lost, need another lead
Don't pattern up, then they cuffing me
Robberies, better run the P
Grow yards, run in and cut up trees
Do badness cah' we tryna live luxury
But for respect I've done it free
[Chorus]
Better keep a weapon in reach in the Ghetto
If you're getting nicked don't speak in the Ghetto
Hella' jealousy, tryna make it outta the Ghetto
Tryna leave a legacy when I'm leaving the Ghetto
Better keep a weapon in reach in the Ghetto
If you're getting nicked don't speak in the Ghetto
Hella' jealousy, tryna make it outta the Ghetto
Tryna leave a legacy when I'm leaving the Ghetto
