King of the Ghetto. Z- Ro the Crooked, that's me. King of the Ghetto Entertainment, Rap-A-Lot. Dean's List. You know what I'm sayin'? That's what I ride to. When I'm rollin' through these muh'*******' City Streets. Corner to corner, block to block. Witnessin' nothin' but bull*******t, first hand. *******s killin' *******s. You know what I'm sayin'? Everybody killin' *******s. You know what I'm sayin'? But we the main muh'******s killin' us. Trippin' out here for these god damn streets. To look good in these streets To have things in these mutha*******' streets, man ******* these streets. [Z-Ro:] Damn these City Streets are deadly to a brother ' Cause they're full of crooked cops & killers & undercovers Everyday it's the same thing, another fatal shootin' Somebody Daddy done died, so they mama prostitutin' Just to make ends meet & get the bills paid Wonder why we bleed the corner dry until the laws raid Tryin' to make a dollar out of nickel & a dime KFC & McDonald's don't wanna hire me because my teeth *******ne In constant danger, keep one in the chamber ' Cause I could become a victim of some starvin' stranger Thinkin' he can go through my pockets & come up with some bread When he found out I'm broke, he still gon' leave a ******* for dead So I hustle to breathe freely & see another day For the sake of my unborn babies, I keep a K Tryin' to make sure the McVey name, repeat & repeat Before somebody knock me off my feet, damn these City Streets. [Hook:] [x2] Damn these City Streets are hard to live in 80% of my partners are dead, the rest in prison All I see is the struggle, my tears drown my vision I never forget to mention, god damn these City Streets. [Z-Ro:] Damn, these City Streets will eat you alive It's beginnin' to be a full time job, just to survive Tell me why I get pulled over when I'm standin' still. Why my homies wanna rob me for my big face bills? It ain't no love in our lifestyle, it's all about greed Can't trust nobody 'cause everybody got a trick up they sleeve I believe in strugglin' 'cause that's all I've ever seen Besides the county jail & the light of an infrared beam I use to keep a pistol by my side But it don't matter if I'm strapped, I'm still gonna die Whether I'm evil or good, in the suburbs or the hood death is comin' Better be like Forest Gump & just keep on runnin' ' Cause he'll be comin' like a thief in the night Might be in the form of a jacker tryin' to get you at the light Houston Texas is restless, better keep your heat under your seat ' Fore somebody have your brains up under your feet, damn these City Streets. [Hook:] [x2] Damn these City Streets are hard to live in 80% of my partners are dead, the rest in prison All I see is the struggle, my tears drown my vision I never forget to mention, god damn these City Streets. [Z-Ro:] I'm 27, but I'm feelin' 71 I pray so much, I feel like I'm kin to the heavenly son I dodge bullets on the daily if I don't duck I'm stuck Then I'll be another murder case in back of that black truck Damn these City Streets are full of yellow tape I wish I could move around, but I feel I can't escape Tell me where to go, tell me where to run to get away from drama Seems like everywhere I go, they wanna put me with my mama. Does equality follow me? Ain't nothin' shakin' Justice & liberty for *******s is a house that's vacant Therefore I'm stranded, where crimes are committed to bread Forced to watch my people fall off track like a bad wig I dropped alot of records, but I'm still broke Can't afford to stay in the 4 Seasons, but there's still hope Lucifer is powerful, he ain't got no mercy on the weak He got us sufferin' for nothin'. Mutha******* these City Streets! Livin' in the city. Livin' in the city.
