DC Young Fly
From the Ghetto
[Verse 1: DC Young Fly]
Man I'm from the streets for real, boy I gotta eat for real
Everything that I touch gotta be about a buck and R-I-P the deal
I'm a young west side n***a best side n***a, everybody gotta keep a steel
I'm in a hospital bed fucked up, plugged up, a n***a had to eat the pill
Tell my mama naw, we ain't goin' back today, procrastinate, the n***a had to evacuate
I'm tryna go and get this money, yeah, the faster way, smash the brakes, I'm thinkin' of a faster pace
So foul the play, I'm tryna get a bag a day, baker man, would you make me a patty cake
It's sad to say, n***as out here actin' fake, I'ma really go and get it and elaborate
Know that

[Chorus: DC Young Fly & Vegas Bang]
When your back against the wall
Ain't nobody there to call
The pain, you gotta hide it
You gotta remain silent
Streets are for real
I'm from the ghetto
I'm from the ghetto
Streets are for real
The streets are for real
These streets are for real
I'm from the ghetto
I'm from the ghetto
These streets are for real
The streets are for real
I ain't gonna play around
I'm from the ghetto
You fuck around and you gon' be layin' 'round here
I'm from the ghetto
The streets are for real
I swear this shit be banging for real, man
These streets, these streets are for real

[Verse 2: Vegas Bang]
Boy, I'm really from the streets, for real
Nah, don't pose for the camera real
From the mud I'm a Tar Heel
Carolina n***a with an Eve in Adamsville
Sick and tired of the lights bein' off
Make arrangements for the late bills
Mom's puttin' pills in her pudding
(Why?) 'cause b, all these late bills
My flow, that Nas feel, I got two Illmatics
One Steelmatic, one made of plastic
One Mike in the hood Jordan on Jackson
Only choice in the hood Trayvon or fashion
Drip on the [?] or pass it
Fuck bein' passive, bein' rich I'm 'bout to try it
For the bread I'm gonna riot, 'cause

[Chorus: DC Young Fly]
When your back against the wall
Ain't nobody there to call
The pain, you gotta hide it
You gotta remain silent
Streets are for real
I'm from the ghetto
I'm from the ghetto
Streets are for real
The streets are for real
These streets are for real
I'm from the ghetto
I'm from the ghetto
These streets are for real
The streets are for real
I ain't gonna play around
I'm from the ghetto
You fuck around and you gon' be layin' 'round here
I'm from the ghetto
The streets are for real
These streets, these streets are for real
