The Ghetto Lyrics by Nell

The Revolution ’94

2013

[Intro: Nell]
Nigga better duck, drunk and he don't give a fuck
These niggas gone hate, and these bitches, they nuts
That's why you never break bread on your crush
Ridin' with the pistols, medics ride when two hit you on the side
Look in my eyes, they know I reside from the gristle

[Hook: Nell]
My, niggas ride for the set
We get high and multiply, and hold it down for our set
These niggas get wild on my set, there isn't a child on my set
Loyalty and respect, I lay it down for my set, it's my set
And my, niggas ride for the set
We get high and multiply, and hold it down for my set
These niggas get wild on our set, there isn't a child on my set
Loyalty and respect, I lay it down for my set, it's my set

[Playing in the background simultaneously as Hook]
(Act up if you want, my niggas'll leave you in the trunk
My nigga, act up if you want, them niggas'll leave you in the trunk
My nigga, act up if you want, them niggas'll leave you in the trunk
My nigga, act up if you want, them niggas'll leave you in the trunk)

[Verse 1: Nell]
These niggas wanna play? Run up on a K
Bustas dem runnin' from what they wanna say
Me, I be low-key cause I don't fuck with fake
This world full of snakes, and I be catchin' planes
Niggas dealin' with a flame when it come to my name
I've captured my pain and it's hard to contain
Cause niggas never wanna see you come-up off of fame
Got a fetish for the money, so I'm comin' off the brain
Seek and maintain, my dream has became, reality
Guess I got a key in my sanes
Been in the door, now I'm lookin' for change
Can it be a bitter end? Animosity in the game
Knees in the grain, but I see through the darkness
Justice is nothing of what Trayvon Martin is
My nigga, this ought to be, world war three
Nigga tote yo' heat

[Hook: Nell]
It's my set, and my, niggas ride for the set
We get high and multiply, and hold it down for my set
These niggas get wild on our set, there isn't a child on my set
Loyalty and respect, I lay it down for my set, it's my set

[Verse 2: Rell]
Fuck what he say, New Era game green be the team
[?] and it's B-L to the K
Wanna live another day? Nigga don't act tough
Get bust, lay worth from the SK
Buddy be brave, you slave, nigga no gains
Now you wanna play little-boy, then hang-man
Buried in sand
Nigga know he stay 'round the way, but his parents never see the kid again
Murder, murder be the plan
Stored in the mind of the youth, who be shootin' at you for the bread
Talkin' to Feds, nigga best friend wanna snitch, put a tab on his head
Watch it pop when it blow, I empty and reload, ain't no stoppin' me
Folks that I see said he full, no he not gettin' up
If I see that he frozen, I'm poppin' the trunk, I remove any gold, nigga

[Hook/Outro: Nell]
My, niggas ride for the set
We get high and multiply, and hold it down for our set
These niggas get wild on my set, there isn't a child on my set
Loyalty and respect, I lay it down for my set, it's my set
And my, niggas ride for the set
We get high and multiply, and hold it down for my set
These niggas get wild on our set, there isn't a child on my set
Loyalty and respect, I lay it down for my set, it's my set
My, niggas ride for the set
We get high and multiply, and hold it down for our set
These niggas get wild on my set, there isn't a child on my set
Loyalty and respect, I lay it down for my set, it's my set

[Playing in the background simultaneously as Hook]
(Act up if you want, my niggas'll leave you in the trunk
My nigga, act up if you want, them niggas'll leave you in the trunk
My nigga, act up if you want, them niggas'll leave you in the trunk
My nigga, act up if you want, them niggas'll leave you in the trunk, my nigga
Act up if you want, them niggas'll leave you in the trunk, my nigga
My nigga, act up if you want, them niggas'll leave you in the trunk
My nigga, act up if you want, them niggas'll leave you in the trunk
My nigga, act up if you want, them niggas'll leave you in the trunk, my nigga)
