Stay with me please dont leave me baby
I love you stay with me please baby
Someones coming please please

It seems like everywhere I go everybodys in a struggle
Oh the whole world is a ghetto
Oh the whole world is a ghetto
The ghetto the ghetto the ghetto the ghetto
The the the the

It be jam-packed in front of the stoops in Siberia
Same way they are in the middle of Nigeria
Every part of the whole world theres an area
That if youre poor another day alive is a miracle
The blocks in Watts got crooked cops that frame the innocent
No different from Flint Michigan
Living in the D checking in with the pimps and them
Its similar to O-Town in the Southern Peninsula
Pretty city skyscrapers will fool you look through to
Inner cities the rich wont move to
The nice parts they well-protected by a vanguard
The opposite of how these concentration camps are
Low-income housing it dwells murderers
But children dont qualify for health services
The bourgeois act like they dont see starvations
Like they spraying Estée Lauder on sanitation

It seems like everywhere I go everybodys in a struggle
Oh the whole world is a ghetto
Oh the whole world is a ghetto
The ghetto the ghetto the ghetto the ghetto
The the the the

Streetlights come on cop cars lights flicker
They smoke us like cigarettes need a light nigga?
Used to chastise or string us up to spite niggas
War to fight for the culture instead we eaten by vultures
They mix us like mimosas hang us on wanted posters
Asked for license and registration with they gun out the holster
Some of us guilty some of us not some of us filthy rich
Others just watch us niggas drive up the block
We think we keeping it one hundred coming back to the hood
They think we flossin money so they pull a ratchet: whats good?
It happens in Compton happens in Queens
Happened to Big L happened to Chinx and 2Pac in that passengers seat
Sometimes its internal happens to you before you happen to bleed
Whats beef? Cops killing niggas dead in the streets
So before we look outside we gotta look within
Cause now we the dinosaurs I think the world bout to end

It seems like everywhere I go everybodys in a struggle
Oh the whole world is a ghetto
Oh the whole world is a ghetto
The ghetto the ghetto the ghetto the ghetto

Im from the project buildings high stories
My stories from valence to glory
Dog-eat-dog world gory
In the gutter brother despise brother
Throwing threats at each other
Broken bottles and bar fights with box cutters
Alcoholics narcotics organized
Families sleep from a gas stove burned alive
They bagging up drugs with plastic gloves
On his way to the top with his cash he shrugs
Kidnappers degenerate thieves and gamblers
Stealing panhandlers wrapping grams up
Rubber bands on they Grams what?
Playing cards and they bored
Members of gangs living by and dying by the sword
Block parties fools stamp debit cards
Your hood aint no different from ours
We share the same dreams same money
Same clothes and cars instead we get the same jail bars

The worlds a ghetto
The worlds a ghetto
The worlds a ghetto
(Ghetto)
The worlds a ghetto

Me and Gods son jumping out of project buildings in black parachutes
Both classic both ride through the hood in a pair of coupes
Flow sick mix the Henny with the Theraflu
He told me I was ill at that Houstons nigga where was you?
Hip-hop critics sit the f*ck down get a chair or two
I aint tryna kick knowledge just a pair of graphic parables
Grew up spent the whole middle school in the same pair of shoes
Me and my brother sharing shoes my childhood was terrible
Thats why I spend nights on the rooftop smoking medical
You got a minute my nigga? Let me break down the variables
Adapted to my surroundings flow better than I used to
Momma this for us buyers for the days I wore FUBU
Having beaucoup dreams deuce-deuce in jeans my nigga
Now Ima end your career in two sixteens my niggas
If he the Gods son then I must be the prophet
And all this King of L.A. shit you niggas need to stop it
(The ghetto)

It seems like everywhere I go everybodys in a struggle
Oh the whole world is a ghetto
Oh the whole world is a ghetto
The ghetto the ghetto the ghetto the ghetto
