Yeah Its goin down down down down      [Juvenile]   Why does Juvenile gotta suffer so much   All this love in the hood keeps me into a fuss   Last night, me and the fellas almost got smoked   We heard gunshots and we said \"we all broke\"   A 2 mile chase hitting corners quick   Thank god we alright and made it to the bricks   Now I gotta carry a nine i guess   These brothas try to peel my cap,    so I gotta put em to rest   Now is it really worth the fighting and fuss   Because if we kill one of them, they kill one of us   A young teenage black male   Dead before 20, or either locked in jail   They say thats how it\'s supposed to be   But I don\'t think that kind of life was chose for me   So I sin after sin I pray   To the Lord to conversate   To end all this hate      Chorus:   Living inside ghettos not a joke, its not a joke   I keep on seeing fellas from hood getting smoked   Living inside ghettos not a joke, its not a joke   I keep on seeing fellas from hood getting smoked   Living inside ghettos not a joke, its not a joke   I keep on seeing fellas from hood getting smoked   Living inside ghettos not a joke, its not a joke   I keep on seeing fellas from hood getting smoked      [Juvenile]   I would be a liar if i say   I\'m the type of person that prays everyday   Brothas in the hood ain\'t the same   They sold a little dope   Bought a gun and they change   Now they say I changed cause I\'m making records   But I\'m still in the hood handing out some chicken   Teenage sistas getting happy drawers   Used to be quiet, now she do it all   It\'s hard to undertsand this shit   And everybody I question say \"life\'s a bitch\"   But my lifes a bitch, because I made it that   So I\'m praying to your Lord, please change me back      Chorus      [Juvenile]   My family\'s not together the way they should be   And I don\'t think they really ever will be   My grandma is the only one that says she loves us   So whats the reason for the everyday scream fuss   Danny got killed last week   Four dead on the curb for my boy   May he Rest In Peace   Then somebody done killed Tech   Now I\'m thinking to myself \"is the Juv gunna kneel next?\"   I don\'t wanna run and I can\'t hide   Lord if I go, just make sure I\'m on your side      Chorus      (Juvenile talks till end)
