Ghetto Burbs Lyrics - Emanny

Always had big dreams 

Everybody had big dreams though 

I never wanna stay here, I had no intentions 

And I have had no plans 

Live my life 

Gotta know how to survive 

Just can't hide 

These streets eat you alive 

Ghetto burbs 

Cause I'm from two different worlds 

Ghetto burbs 

Comin' from the ghetto burbs 

Yo yo, ghetto burbs I'm from the ghetto with Jerz 

From where the pedal is served 

Use hand, justice for words 

Big up to LA, they was ahead of the curb 

My hood we gang bang 

You could get left on the curb 

Yea I was raised here, but I'm tryna export 

Police is crook yea, the strippers is escorts 

Like my homey Layla, really I can't knock her 

'Cause she getting paper, month ago she was knocked up 

Baby daddy a dope boy, fresh homey was locked up 

But he on the same shit, fucked around and got shot up 

In my same mind, I'm like why he even bother? 

At the same time don't know what he was a part of 

And Layla over the casket, tears coming harder 

The hood wins again, another son with no father 

Gotta take it in stride, 'round here that's the usual 

But I ain't accustomed, that shit I can't get used to 

I'm trying to survive 

Live my life 

Gotta know how to survive 

Just can't hide 

'Cause these streets eat you alive 

Ghetto burbs 

Cause I'm in two different worlds 

Ghetto burbs 

Comin' from these ghetto burbs 

Ghetto burbs, I'm from the ghetto of Jerz' 

From where the ghetto's disturbed, you can be dead in a hearse 

Say a prayer daily and end it with "better or worse" 

I lost faith, but grandma still keep her head up in church 

Murder rate sky-high, employment is real low 

Little kid try to rap, but will he get a deal? No 

'Cause poverty kills slow, belief is beyond you 

7 out of ever 10 bitches here got the monster 

Like my little homie Tanya, I met her at Freaknik 

Freak shit, the same bitch them niggas be all out in the street with 

Open, in love with the service 

But she got resentments you won't see from the surface 

Feel like so many women look great, so she worship 

Caught AIDS from rape, thought her whole life was worthless 

Ho couldn't know how gorgeous her curves is 

She fucking 'em raw and hope to catch it on purpose 

You better survive 

Live my life 

Gotta know how to survive 

Just can't hide 

Those streets eat you alive 

Ghetto burbs 

'Cause I'm from two different worlds 

Ghetto burbs 

Comin' from these ghetto burbs 

Ghetto burbs, I'm from the ghetto of Jerz' 

I ain't tryin' to act like my part of the ghetto's the worst 

Niggas is tricks here, they'll buy stilettos for birds 

How did I get here? They act like the metal don't hurt 

You just getting high, guess they trying to escape it 

Or commit suicide assuming they couldn't take it 

The streets is cold, still we run around naked 

Success is a void and we replace it with hatred 

That's your homie from way back, from so many years old 

But friends turn green, even that acted weird old 

You think he cared? No, y'all used to share clothes 

Now you struggle for rent and he got ice in his earlobes 

Your man won't even extend a hand, meeting all his career goals 

You need a whole 'nother plan, your career's froze 

Valuables are more valuable 

Than everything even value to dude 

Cause you gotta survive 

Live my life 

Gotta know how to survive 

Just can't hide 

These streets eat you alive 

Ghetto burbs 

'Cause I'm in two different worlds 

Ghetto burbs 

Comin' from the ghetto burbs 

Live my life 

Gotta know how to survive 

Just can't hide 

These streets will eat you alive 

Ghetto burbs 

'Cause I'm in two different worlds 

Ghetto burbs 

Comin' from the ghetto burbs
