[Chorus] Ghetto blues has got me down for the the last time [Verse 1] Strapped down with ghetto ways Beggin' me to the extent of my struggles statis They called me on the low Comin' up on the money Hustle, the same old thang for a new game to be played for cheese Gotta get what's promised to a sister, comin' up on bankin' G's Hustlin's all the same I can't deal with these playas' thoughts Too much trust and risks make quick for a fool to get caught Hold on, slippin', too late to be trippin' Weak strategies gettin' the best of me Underpriced, everyday down and out is life in societies Still, I hold on, 'cause I'm headstrong And focus with life of no time to pay the price of failure Let me tell you, no lie Livin' by the strugglers' rules Gotta do what ya gotta do that's fit We strugglin', who gives a damn man bout this down and out chick? My head poundin', what am I gonna do? Gotta get on the hustle makin' the cheese comin' up out of the low-life of the ghetto Gotta make this come up on the real, since tired of strugglin' Ghetto life showin' me no love But givin' me reason to make quick moves on somethin' Gotta hold on my own, but it's hard as hell Tryin' to stay afloat in "The Heart of it All" So for myself, it's the way I go I gotta do what gotta be done to make it in these hard times Strugglin's a mother when you gotta wonder "Can I provide for mine?" Look at my predicament, who's gonna help this sister in need? Can't put the trust in the system So I gotta hustle these streets for my cheese Gotta make that money comin' up on the means that's due Cause one of these '96 days, I'm outta these ghetto blues [Chorus] Ghetto blues has got me down for the the last time [Verse 2] These ghetto blues done gotta sista faded Prayed this was only a dream Trapped in a slum surrounded by the crack fiends Means of survival, I guess Hustle in the hood, wear the bulletproof vest Help me, Lord, I can't get no deeper than this Wish I wasn't born in this world of bastards, misfits Mom's got love for me, but she don't love what I do [ohh] Gotta slang 9 to 5, don't bring in enough food Steadily, look out for myself, my trues, and my family See gotta go for self cause won't nobody take care of me Strategy, keep fools out of my place gotta take care of my business What is this?
