Hard Knocks - Ghetto Love lyrics
You claim you're still bitter but I got the raw end of the deal [ VERSE 1: Hardhead ] I heard the expression 'a dog is a man's best friend' But I grew up thinkin it was a woman But I had to learn the hard way Never thought I'd see the day I'd be sleepin on the subway But that's the path she chose The next day I arose still kickin the same clothes I had to make a decision Even though I lost her my friends still gave me recognition Bein recognized by the guys Wasn't a surprise, you see, cause they're my homies And with them I get nuff respect (nuff respect) When I was down they were there When I didn't have, they were more than happy to share Inside I feel the pains trapped I don't feel she dissed me but I feel I got a bum rap The guys knew what I was thinkin of The only thing to cure an old love was a new love A ghetto love [ VERSE 2: Hardhead ] It's 3 o'clock, I'm hungry and I'm cold I wanna call her but she's even changed area codes Was it that bad, what I did? To hell with it, I go to my man's crib Oh, his name is Bezo The type of power only friendship could bestow I ring his bell and he's alarmed And I'm greeted in with open arms The next day, a different routine I'm caught drinkin on a public scene I'm callin my homies to come get me Cause I know down they never let me Free as a bird, once again I'm chillin My homies ain't rich, but to me they're top-billin Over, over again they've proven Not even a jail cell can separate a real friend It seems that our love as a crew gets better and better We stick as a posse like a stamp to a letter What's theirs is mines, what's mines is theirs Cause in this ghetto love game we play fair I'm unspoiled by success Even though God's blessed they're still not impressed The way they once treated me they still treat me It's nothin different now cause I'm makin a little money Like when we hang, rumbles still continue Puttin heads out is still on our menu We'll go to war in a heartbeat And I never went to war and they ran out and left me We're all about one for all and all for one And if it's more than one you better have more than one gun The only sleep that outlasts love is death And we'll hang until one of us takes the last breath How close can a clan of man be? That one partner's pain is his posse's mysery? We say they come a dime a dozen But I've been turned on by my own so-called cousins Is the blood we shed really thicker than water? If it is, then maybe you oughta Witness A ghetto love I'ma always have my homies They gon' see me in the cold, or hunger or just out there driftin, whatever All my homies around the way in the South Bronx Jason, Shawn, my man Jim-Jim, the whole posse Those who I miss, you know who you are [Name], Bezo, Lucky The official crew, y'all know The same crew that always goes through the rain and the shine Peace |
