New day same thing, we got people in the streets But the government ain't doin' a damn thing, and all we investing in is Hydro and liquor stores ss 4 doors and 24's But where I'm from thats what we live for, the ghetto so [hook 1:] If you're livin in the ghetto and your feelin me Let me hear you say oh,oh,oh If you're sick and tired of the same thing It's alright to say oh,oh,oh Cuz you know the po po's the project and the old folk That waht we see 24 in the ghetto, corner spots crack rocks and gun shots Good time the bad times the same place with the sam rhymes You need to stop waitin' round for the punch line Cuz ain't nothin change but the time Ain't nothing changed same place same thang, just a different day in the ghetto I know cuz I been there on the same block in the same gear Drinkin', smokin', wishin', hopin, [hook 2:] And if you're gettin sick and tired of the same thing It's alright to say oh,oh,oh If you're livin' in the ghetto and you're feelin me Let me hear you say oh,oh,oh Now what you know about the block after dark in the park The holes in ya shoes makin holes in ya socks Roaches in the kitchen wit no food for ya pots Or ya hands on ya head gettin pressed by the cops What you know about the hood when it's good when it ain't Sittin in the stoop witcha weed and ya drank With the old winos askin if you got change But if you ask me ain't shit changed I done seen plenty of cats get they ass knocked out If you come round here better not run your mouth I ain't never been a thug but I still get down Shots to se to uptoen What you know about rent when it can't get paid Ya can't get a coupe so you get a chevrolet And ya momma on her knees all she can do is pray But where I'm from this is life same shit different day [hook 1 til end]
