(Intro)
Always had big dreams
Everybody had big dreams though
I never wanna stay here, I had no intentions
And I have had no plans
(Chorus)
Live my life,
Gotta know how to survive
Just canât hide
âCause these streets will eat you alive, (ghetto burbs)
âCause Iâm from two different worlds, (ghetto burbs)
Coming from these ghetto burbs.
(Verse)
Yo yo, ghetto burbs Iâm from the ghetto with Jerz
From where the pedal is served
Use hand, justice for words
Pick up the LA, they was ahead of the curb
My hooey gang bang
You could get left from the curb
Yea I was raised here, but Iâm tryna export
Police is crook yea, the strippers is escorts
Like my homey Layla, really I canât knock her
âCause she getting paper, month ago she was knocked up
Baby daddy your dope boy, fresh homey was locked up
But he on the same shit, fucked around and got shot up
You mind saying mind, Iâm like why he even bother
At the same time donât know what he was a part of
And Layla over the casket, see this coming harder
The hood went again, another summon the father
Gotta take it astride, round here itâs the usual
But I ainât accustomed, that shit I canât get used to
Iâm tryna survive
(Chorus)
Live my life,
Gotta know how to survive
Just canât hide
âCause these streets will eat you alive, (ghetto burbs)
âCause Iâm in two different worlds, (ghetto burbs)
Coming from these ghetto burbs.
(Verse)
Yo, ghetto burbs Iâm from the ghetto with Jerz
From where the ghettoâs disturbed, you can be dead and not heard
Say youâre predaly, and ended with better or worse
I lost faith but grandma still keep her head up in church
Murder is sky high, employment is real low
Little kid tryna rap, but will he get a deal? No
âCause poverty kills slow, belief is beyond you
7-9âer every 10 bitches here got the monster like my lil homey Tania
I met her in freak nik, freak yea
The same bitch the niggas be all out in the street with
Open, in love with the service
But she got resentment, she wonât see from the surface
So like so many women look right so she worship
Caught aids from rape and thought her whole life was worthless
Hoe couldnât know how gorgeous her curbs is
She fuckin em raw and hope they catch it on purpose
You better survive
(Chorus)
Live my life,
Gotta know how to survive
Just canât hide
The streets will eat you alive, (ghetto burbs)
âCause Iâm from two different worlds, (ghetto burbs)
Coming from these ghetto burbs.
(Verse)
Ghetto burbs Iâm from the ghetto with Jerz
I ainât tryna act like my part of the ghettoâs the worst
Niggas is pricks here, theyâll buy stilettos for birds
How did I get here? They act like the men who donât hurt
Dude just getting high, guess they tryna escape it
Wonât commit suicide, assuming they couldnât take it
The streets is cold, still we runnin round naked
Success is avoid and we replace it with hatred
Thatâs your homey from way back, from showing the years oh
The friends turnin green even that after weâre old
You thinking kid? No, values to sheer clothes
Now you struggle for rent and he got ice in his ear lobes
Your man wonât even extend a hand, meeting all his career goals
You need a whole nother plan, your careerâs broke
Valuables are more valuable than everything, even value the dudes
âCause you gotta survive
(Chorus x2)
Live my life,
Gotta know how to survive
Just canât hide
These streets will eat you alive, (ghetto burbs)
âCause Iâm in two different worlds, (ghetto burbs)
Coming from these ghetto burbs.
(Outro)
Iâm from the ghetto burbs
Gotta know how to survive
Streets eat you up
Coming from the ghetto burbs
Said the streets eat you alive, alive yea yea yea
Coming from the ghetto burbs yea
