Ghetto Laws Lyrics by The Transitions

Back In Da Days

2001

[Intro]
Mmmmm oooh eh
Live by
Die by
Abide by
Ooooo, whoa
Yeah
[Verse 1]
I got the block on lock
Got the dope spot hot
Got them feds in them unmarked cars up on my block
With the watch post, lift those windows
I got soldiers on the corner baggin' indo
With the broken-up cell phone lingo
You can tell me what you need
What's your beeper code?
Getting tax-free dough, designer clothes
Ice glossin' and flossin'
And baggin' other nigga's hoes
That's just the life of a baller (Baller)
You can try and hate me if you wanna (Oh)
[Chorus]
What we live by (Live by)
Die by (Die by)
The ghetto got these laws you must (Abide by)
Rollin' with them niggas, stay puffin' your skunk
Poppin' out your mouth, found dead in your trunk
'Cause what we live by (Live by)
Yeah, we die by (Die by)
The ghetto got these laws you must (Abide by)
Rollin' with them niggas, stay puffin' your skunk
We can break it down like whatever you want
[Verse 2]
You see the black Volvo with the tinted windows
Ridin' down your block real slow, but you don't know
Who it's for, so you best to watch out
'Cause your homie lil' man, he been runnin' his mouth
He just got home doin' five in the hole
Word upstate, he was washin' niggas clothes
Boast hoes down my throat
So I gotsta be slick
Got chicks turnin' tricks on Lennox and 5th
You see, but that's just the life of a hustler (Hustler)
If you come up short, then I'mma touch ya
[Chorus]
'Cause what we live by (Live by)
We die by (Die by)
The ghetto got these laws we must (Abide by)
Rollin' with them niggas, stay smokin' that skunk
Gamin' with the money, found dead in your trunk
'Cause what we live by (Live by)
Whoa, we die by (Die by)
The ghetto got these laws we must (Abide by)
Rollin' with them niggas, stay puffin' your skunk
We can break it down like whatever you want
[Bridge]
Dear Lord, forgive my sins
Though I know that I might not make it in
But you put me here, got me strugglin'
Everyday thing, just hustlin', say it again
Dear Lord, forgive my sins (Ohhh)
Though I know that I might not make it in
But you put me here (Put me here)
Got me strugglin' (Strugglin')
It's an everyday thing, just hustlin'
[Chorus/Outro]
Well, what we live by (Live by)
We die by (Die by)
The ghetto got these laws y'all (Abide by)
Yeah, said the world is so corrupt, y'all
We gotta do our best to make it through
Live by (Yes we do)
Die by (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Abide by (Woooo)
Rollin' with them niggas, stay puffin' your skunk (Mmmm-hmmm)
We can break it down like whatever you want (Like whatever you want)
What we live by (Live by)
Ooooh, we die by (Die by)
(Abide by)
Live by
Die by
Abide by
Rollin' with them niggas, stay puffin' your skunk
We can break it down like whatever you want
Live by
Die by
