After I was born again I went back to
Chicago where I was born and raised
And as I rode thru the city all I can do was cry

Is it always a hit
When somebody wanna start conflict
A whole bunch of knuckleheads in the clique
On the block 4 5th tight grip full clip
Was it made for them to be hustlers
Young taking blunts to the brain
Cuz they ruptured
Tick them off
And they snapping above a structure
Ain't ever have too many youngin's
That'll cut you buck you
Dissed get tossed you miss you lose
You had no concern for the
Trauma that it would cost you
Came to the game for the fame and cash
The cars clothes and women
And you wanted to get it fast
And it's a shame and disgrace
We perpetuate evil raising the murder rate
Eradicating our kind
We gang bang and demolish
Mario got killed fo' he got to go to college

Is it always the ghetto
Back then my homie use to be mellow
Hello now he act like the devil
Cuz greed got him
Digging like shovels down low
Is it always the ghetto
Back then my homie use to be mellow
Hello now he act like the devil
Cuz pride got him
Digging like shovels

It's affliction that people
Tend to say is theoretic
Tragedies that happen
Are petty and sympathetic
It should be safe
At least in school or church
But you can be in class
Or worship and get merked
Worried that the actions of evil
Just might come pass you
Scared that another individual will blast you
We need to seek the face of the LORD
Before we're in bad times or in need
And I pray on my knees at night
Say I pray for folk I know
To come to Jesus Christ
I feel like I'm locked down
Barb wired and chained
Cuz everything I see and and hear
Is the same old thang
So now I'm flexing with
The flow that's perfected
Beating on yo dome
With real graphic reflections
That I've arranged
We headed for danger
And Jesus is the only one who can save us

Is it always the ghetto
Back then my homie use to be mellow
Hello now he act like the devil
Cuz greed got him
Digging like shovels down low
Is it always the ghetto
Back then my homie use to be mellow
Hello now he act like the devil
Cuz pride got him
Digging like shovels

See back then it was straight
You couldn't catch too many
Dudes playa hating
Against all odds
And sometimes we escaped
Until a greedy dude ran with the bank
They say they saw him down the block
With a backpack on his shoulders
Stuffed with some bud
And a few of them boulders
He took a lot more than
What the chief had told him
When he got to the bus station
His life was over
He thought he couldn't be touched
But lil folk waited for him in the cut
We the burner on tuck
Turn his body back to dust
Send his soul to the Lord
When he let the burner bust
He thought he couldn't be touched
But lil folk waited for him in the cut
We the burner on tuck
Turn his body back to dust
Send his soul to the Lord
When he let the burner bust

Is it always the ghetto
Back then my homie use to be mellow
Hello now he act like the devil
Cuz greed got him
Digging like shovels down low
Is it always the ghetto
Back then my homie use to be mellow
Hello now he act like the devil
Cuz pride got him
Digging like shovels
