Smiler - In the Ghetto
VERSE 1 (DON STRAPZY)UH, UH, IT'S KINDA STRANGE THAT THESE BOYS
RAPPING THERE'S NO PAIN IN THEIR VOICE
I DON'T SEE NO STRESS IN THEIR FACE
DONS LOOK LIKE THEY BEEN RESTING FOR DAYS
I WAS ON A QUEST TO GET PAID
I GRIND WITH A PASSION I'LL REST IN MY GRAVE
THESE COUNCIL BLOCKS WHERE THE HUNS BE
DON'T COME AROUND THESE DOGS CAH WE HUNGRY
UH AND WE FED UP OF THIS HOOD LIFE
ALL WE WANT IS MONEY AND A GOOD WIFE
LIE IF I SAID THAT NOBODY AINT SINNING
WE GO AND GET CAH NOBODY AINT GIVING
WE ALL DEPRESSED BUT NOBODY AINT BITCHING
SO, SHOW RESPECT AND NOBODY GOES MISSING
RUN TOGETHER OR WALK ALONE
YOU CALL THEM GHETTOS WE CALL THEM HOMES
CHORUS:
WOULD HAVE BEEN BORN IN THE GHETTO
WHERE THE SUN'S NEVER SHINING,
OULDN'T FATHOM GETTING OUT THE SLUMS WHEN WE'RE GRINDING
WOULD HAVE BEEN BORN IN THE GHETTO
FORCED TO DUCK JAKES AND BUSS BISCUITS
AND THE ONLY TYPE OF TRADING IS THE DRUG BUSINESS
VERSE 2 (SMILER):
I WAS BORN FOR THIS MIC TING, BUT I WAS MORE CONCERNED WITH
CASH TO FLAUNT N BURN AND ICE IN MY BREITLING
ROADSIDE STUNNER FROM YOUNG, BAGGIES IN
THE PERSIL, BOPPING IN AND OUTTA MY DRUM NEIGHBOURS WATCHING,
PARKED SCORES IN THE MARK 4'S, PRACTICALLY RUNNING SOUTH
SICK OF CUTTING THE TOOTHPASTE IN HALF WHEN ITS RUNNING OUT
BAILIFFS AT MY DOOR BANGING, STUCK IN THIS POOR FAMINE,
SCHEMING AND OF COURSE PLANNING, THEN BRINFING MORE MAN IN
I'M GHOST NIGGA STEALTH, COS LOADS IN THE CELLS
MY YARDIES SAY MAN AFI KNOW UNA SELF
I GREW UP THROUGH THIS WOOLWICH AND GHETTO BEEF
WHERE WE WAS SWINGING BLADES, NOW THEY'RE LETTING THEIR METAL SPEAK
IT'S PEAK, KIDS DEPLETED, NORMAL -NIGGAS WIGS ARE RECEDING,
MAN ARE DEAD OR IN THE PRISON, ONLY COUPLE SUCCEEDED
IF WE WERE SMARTER WOULD THE TRAP BE SWALLOWING BREDDAS WHOLE?
WE ALWAYS TEND TO BACKTRACK AND GUESS BUT WE'LL NEVER KNOW
CHORUS:
WOULD HAVE BEEN BORN IN THE GHETTO
WHERE THE SUN'S NEVER SHINING, C
OULDN'T FATHOM GETTING OUT THE SLUMS WHEN WE'RE GRINDING
WOULD HAVE BEEN BORN IN THE GHETTO
FORCED TO DUCK JAKES AND BUSS BISCUITS
AND THE ONLY TYPE OF TRADING IS THE DRUG BUSINESS
