Trae - Ghetto Pain lyrics

[talking]

This one here for the ghetto

a nigga ain't forgot about y'all

everybody don't see shit the way we see it Knah i'm sayin

shit they don't even feel it the way we do

that's why they don't respect it like that

but I'm here to let them know it's real in the field

[Verse 1: Trae]

I'm from the section of the hood where all the ghetto is pain

and half the block don't even sleep cause they gon' pull a shurrane

most of the shit remain the same and it ain't never gon' change

tryna get it the way you know and keep the feds out of range

alot of shit ends up the worse behind multiple reasons

thought it was hell but know I feel like this is the season

so I bang the whole block today, non stop today

but I'm in all black strapped like the swat today

you never know-so I know I'm watchin everything close

paranoia got me countless droppin anything close

I don't even know the reason shit happen the way it do

if your ghetto the same as mine, I know you feelin like I do

maybe get it, the way I get it-when watchin ya homies die

and it ain't nothin you can do but just talk to e'm while you cry

and ask why he had to leave and move into another place

then you stop and think about it cause he in a better place and it's fucked up!

[Hook: Shyna]

Everyday that I see-I pray to God that I breathe

everywhere I go, my ghetto is-my ghetto is pain

everyday that I try-I pray to God to get by

everywhere I go, my ghetto is-my ghetto is pain

[Verse 2: Trae]

I was always taught to watch my surroundings when up on the block

glock cocked when I played the field, while niggaz pitchin e'm rocks

cops posted up in the jail house waitin for e'm to strike

but these bitches gon' have to catch us tonight

my lil'homie 'round the corner just got caught up for ten

the bad part is if he get free, he'll be at it again

I always told myself that if I made it in rap I'd come back for the hood

but I forgot these niggaz up to no good

how the fuck I'm a help somebody, who ain't helpin they self

and at the same time wanna do you when they think you got wealth

Lord knows we up in the ghetto for most of our life

but I played it smart and got on my hustle for the rest of my life

and I don't need to shine so I take my time like snails

cause ain't no feature finna be rappin from jail if you can't tell

I'm straight out of the section where ya partners will get ya

but would rather put this in the air, you better hope they don't hit ya-in the

street life

[Hook]
