Now that`s how this s**t go
And I know you don`t like me spittin` in your motherf**kin` face
But ain`t a motherf**kin` thing, you can do about a ni**a
Punk motherf**ker

Some people may say well, you over dramatized it, no we`re not
It`s not a drama workshop it is a reality
Things like that do take place in prisons
The murders, the suicides, as well as the rapes
Do take place inside these human warehouses

Ni**a I`m a hustler, act like I`m lovin` ya
Don`t mind f**kin` ya, just like the Governor
Used to be the dope man, rolled a hundred spokes man
When I come through, treat me like the Pope man

Ghetto spokesman, I know ni**az
In East side Oakland all the way to Brooklyn
And they love my s**tty drawers, what you smokin`?
Think you got the balls, ni**a I`m a Trojan

Catchin` all that just like a prophylac`
Don`t reproduce that bulls**t is whack
Flavor Flav with a white bitch that is whack
Got to put the ni**a back in my Cadillac

Take him to the hood, where it`s action packed
Let him know that the target`s still on his back
It`s a hustle called capitalism
Got my ni**az in prison, all stuck in the system, yeah

Recognize who`s a hustler, George Dubya
He`s the one that`s sittin` back, f**kin` ya
With a big dick stuck in ya
I`m from a place where the f**kin` Terminator is the Governor

I got a Public Pretender
Tryin` to make me a winner
Ni**a please don`t surrender
They`ll have you for dinner

The ghetto is a ni**a trap, take the cheese
Soon as you do it here come the police
Invented and designed fo` us to fail
Where you gon` end up, dead or in jail

You only got two places
State of California got two faces
Motherf**kin` devils get straight racist
When they get you in them lonely dark places

Concrete slave ships never move
Where ni**az like us get used like a mule
Don`t let `em catch you, arrest you
Strip and undress you, throw you in a cesspool

You wanna know the crime of the century
A ghetto elementary, a mental penitentiary
Black man, you never been friend of me
Boy you kin to me, why we enemies?

The ghetto is a trap
F**k where you from, ni**a look where you at
Where you wanna be? Point it out on a map
Don`t be scared to leave homey, we can come back

If you wanna come back to this bulls**t
Most of it comin` straight out the pulpit
We got to change our ways in the hood
Understand that it`s AIDS in the hood

The ni**a trap

The ghetto is a ni**a trap, take the cheese
Soon as you do it here come the police
Invented and designed fo` us to fail
Where you gon` end up, dead or in jail

The ghetto is a ni**a trap, take the cheese
Soon as you do it here come the police
Invented and designed fo` us to fail
Where you gon` end up, dead or in jail

I got a Public Pretender
Tryin` to make me a winner
Ni**a please don`t surrender
