Ghetto Rich

Yeah, yeah

Started at the corner where the streetlights lean

Made a little from a lot and a cracked up scene

Money on my mind, every move calculated

Hustle in my veins, every dream renovated

Cash in the pocket, but the cash stay heavy

Runs keep spinnin' while the whole block's edgy

Late night deals and the fear don't sleep

Everybody got a secret that they buried too deep

Money, sex, cash, cars, we been chasin' that flame

In the ghetto where the winners and the sinners look the same

In on the pavement, everybody wanna shop

Love might fade fast, but the hustle never stop

Sex, cash, cars

Yeah, that's the sound

From the bottom to the top

We gon' run this town

Drugs in the mix and the air got a haze

Dreams get distorted in a thousand different ways

Barberies on the news, murders in the alley

Everyday survivor when you're raised in the body

I've seen friends switch sides for a pocket full of greed

I've seen pain turn to pride, I've seen hunger turn to need

Chrome on the ground when I'm dodging the sirens

Heart still cold, but the whole block's mine

Hey, sex, cash, cars, we've been chasing that flame

In the ghetto where the winners and the sinners look the same

See ′em on the pavement, everybody want a shot

Love might fade fast, but the hustle never stop

Money, sex, cash, cars

Yeah, that's the sound

From the bottom to the top

We gon′ run this town

If you come from the gutter, you learn how to fight

Keep your eyes on the prize when the world ain't right

We survive, we shine, we don't fail, we don't break

From the struggle to the stage, every move that we make
