HOOK:
repeat 2x
my ghetto pains, remains the same
I'm steady living off the chain , lord knows its a crying shame
I'm walking with my death shoes on, my boo know it wont be long
before I leave her all alone, another thug dead and gone
Every morning I get up and brush my teeth
with my shorty , then fix us something to eat
sit down with him and watch some sesame street
play with him a lil while until he is ready to go back to sleep
go take a peak in on my boo, look at her stretched out in her dukes
kiss her on her cheek, aint no need to creep
she know my every day routine, making ends meet
tell her I lover her lord knows I mean that
holding back my tears, one day I might not come back
I'm married to these streets that's the hand I was dealt
for better or worst, hustling myself to death
looking in the sky saying lord I know you been so good
sending your angles down here to protect me in this hood
I know it aint nothing but the good grace of God,
I'm thuggin I supposed to have been in a pine box
when ever opportunity strikes,
for me to get more loot, to get shorty some more AFLAC
he smiling, I guess he is satisfied
If he aint he better be cause I'm the one got to pay the price
with my life or some more hard labor
don't need no co-defendant, turning state, boy a trader
ups and down thin and thick I wonder how much longer I got to put up with this bull shit
see yall think I just be talking, but your blind if you can't see a dead man walking
