Better Days 2 [Pain In The Ghetto]
It's a pain in the ghetto
I’m tryna fight but something's gotta give
(Something's gotta give)
Tired of going on these missions (Tired)
Stuck off in these trenches
I’m just tryna get a million 'fore
They come and get me (Get me)
Lot of hate off in my city
I can't fuck with it (I can't fuck with 'em)
It's just me and the niggas I grew up with
(I grew with 'em)
If I'm lyin’, then I’m dyin'
No cap up in my rap, you niggas slip
My niggas slide
Yeah, somebody gon’ die today
No, these niggas better not be outside today
Or they hit (yeah)
It's fucked up where I'm from
You can't fuck around (Fuck around)
You better watch your step or
You be in that ground
Fuck it, long live ’em (Long live 'em)
It's only one way out
You gotta go and get it
(Gotta go and get it)
And know this shit expensive
Cost a whole brick (Cost a whole brick)
Don't get stuck here tryna take your time
Shit get wicked on my side of town
It's a pain in the ghetto
I'm tryna fight, but something's gotta give
I'm built where I can't break, but bitch
I'm done bending (I can't bend)
I'm tired of all this sinning
But that's how we living (How we living)
I'm praying God forgive me
I'm just praying for brighter days
Shit been wicked, I thank God I'm alive today
Niggas dead i'm tryna get a million
Tired of going on these missions
I'm tryna leave the trenches 'fore I'm
Stuck off in the system
This shit hit me, I'm tryin' to change
I just pray these niggas
Don't be outside today or they hit
I know that mama told you
'bout a thousand times
Careful, shit get wicked on my side of town
We don't fuck around
(It's a pain in the ghetto)
I'm tryna fight but something's gotta give
(Something's gotta give)
So much pain up in that ghetto (Uh)
Niggas wanna fight with God but
They dancing with the devil
(yeah, somebody gon' die today, no, these
Niggas better not be outside today, uh)
Twelve get in my lane and run my name
It's always somethin' (Uh)
Now you're from that gang and dug
Your grave without no shovel
And now you in a rush
You moving fast without no hustle
And now you checkin' in with your
PO more than them mother kids
And court date after court date
It's always the same old shit man, lil' man
I'll be your dad to my brother's kids
God forbid
I get locked up for something that God forbid
One suspect, two victims
Hurt all three they kids (Ah)
Four, five shots
All it took to get 'em forty years (Damn)
Six, seven, eight, boy
Don't even expect your bitch to wait
Nine, ten years in the pen, now you prayin'
I'm just praying for brighter days
Shit been wicked, I thank God I'm alive today
Niggas dead i'm tryna get a million
Tired of going on these missions
I'm tryna leave the trenches 'fore I'm
Stuck off in the system
This shit hit me, I'm tryin' to change
I just pray these niggas
Don't be outside today or they hit
I know that mama told you
'bout a thousand times
Careful, shit get wicked on my side of town
We don't fuck around

I'm tryna fight but something's gotta give

Stuck off in these trenches, trenches
