This one, this one so fresh I'm still reading it off the paper man   It's just one of dem' nights you, you know fuck it   If y'all don't never hear nothing again from me   You know it was said here   Right over here      My people screamed for revenge   So fiend was called upon   Job description was get it on   Protect your mental, heart and your dome   You may die cause' of your tone   Young, black and strong   I was meant and sent   Cause' some of the real was all gone   Since birth til' now I got holes in my t-shirt   From fighting with anybody that wants to see me hurt   Took it needle and blood   Second and first love   Fuck giving a fuck   Blame me not the drugs   I motivates myself   Grab a rocket off my shelf   A extra match and now I'm feeling like myself   Without help I could spot and just kill a decoy   Really end what I destroyed         With a heart of a ghetto boy   You have a souljah thats ready to die   Now in the heart of a ghetto boy   If you ask him to live he'll probably say why (why why why)   In a heart of a ghetto boy   You have a souljah thats ready to die   Now in the heart of a ghetto boy   If you ask him to live he'll probably say why (why why why)   In a heart of a ghetto boy   You have a souljah thats ready to die   Now in the heart of a ghetto boy   If you ask him to live he'll probably say why (why why why)      Man I ain't got no million dollars   I'm still in the ghetto   Hear me holler   Mr. 5-0 dollar   Trying to break nobody's collar   Wanting to give the baby something to follow   But shit I'm smoking like coffee lids   Trying to deal with what is   Screaming letta nigga live   And don't kick the door in my crib   I was off he even found where I lived   Now is it a crime to be black?    And walk the streets wit' cha' gat?    To protect family knock somebody off the map   Distributing crack to put clothes on they back   I did it, and still do it if thats where I'm at   But see I'm best where I'm at   Up in this sack right into this back wood   Wanting everyday to be that good         Now in the heart of a ghetto boy   You have a souljah thats ready to die   Now in the heart of a ghetto boy   If you ask him to live he'll probably say why (why why why)   With a heart of a ghetto boy   You have a souljah thats ready to die   Now in the heart of a ghetto boy   If you ask him to live he'll probably say why (why why why)   In a heart of a ghetto boy   You have a souljah thats ready to die   Now in the heart of a ghetto boy   If you ask him to live he'll probably say why (why why why)      Yeah I been facing the depths of hell   For how long?    23 years   And I choose to speak my mind even if it's my career   The only fear that I discovered ain't returned and ain't coming   And the faith that I have ain't in no car in no woman   Everyday I'm stumbling to a smarter me   A harder me   Revealing my strength for they try to swallow me   I done read what they didn't want me to read   Learn to need what they didn't want me to need   Shit look I really gotta house full of guns   A couch full of ones   Just in case I don't understand the outcome that life taught   Let me leave you with this thought   Why the lion needed courage and he already had heart....         Of a ghetto boy   You have a souljah thats ready to die   Now in the heart of a ghetto boy   If you ask him to live he'll probably say why (why why why)   In a heart of a ghetto boy   You have a souljah thats ready to die   Now in the heart of a ghetto boy   If you ask him to live he'll probably say why (why why why)   In a heart of a ghetto boy   You have a souljah thats ready to die   Now in the heart of a ghetto boy (why why why)   (why why why)   If you ask him to live he'll probably say why (why why why)      Why why why      Live live live      Why why why      Live live live      Why why why      Live live live      Why why why         In the heart of a ghetto boy      In every man young man old man   There lies one   In the heart of a ghetto boy
