Child Of The Ghetto Dave East

[Verse]
Yo
I smile through the terror, no sun, it was rainin' on me
A child of the ghetto, nobody explained it to me
I never fold, I never bend, that's the gangster in me
Another daughter in my life I'm so thankful to see
Niggas loved to say I changed, but they changed up on me
I fell out with a couple homies, they blamed it on me
I shared my whole life with these niggas, nothin' stranger to see
Copped the hoopty just to get from A to B
Shouts to my PO, cause she ain't make me pee
Was prayin' to God to make the league
Opps come, make 'em bleed, see the cops, then shake the scene
Every bar that niggas spit be make-believe
I still could get your face powdered, like I work for Maybelline
Jumped in that water, without no naval team
Them books got me smarter, some niggas hate to read
Got prescriptions of names from Dwayne reed, I'd rather be
Eating shrimp and steak than being in state greens
[?] eat the closest to you, nobody ain't bleed
Free scrappy drape street, that's really my brother but last time seen him, we were still in the gutter

I went to visit and they hated on me
It felt like them fucking pigs was waiting on me
Drove 6 hours couldn't see him, that shit'l break a homie
The way we live, rolling in ink, got no eraser for it
I was dead broke I could relate boredom
$20 cabs that I would take the[?]
[?]
Popping out of ubers, with my gun on
Like way before I had my daughter
Niggas playing the corner till the sun gone
Had a pack on me before I put out one song
