Naughty By Nature - Ghetto Bastard lyrics

Smooth it out
This is a story about a drifter
Who waited for the worst while the best live ´cross town
Who never planned on having someday
Why me huh?!

Some get a little, & some get none
Some catch a bad one, & some leave the job half-done
I was one who never had & always mad
Never knew my dad, motherf*ck the fag
Well anyway, I did pick-up, lift & click-up
See many stick-ups, ´cos niggas had the trigger hick-ups
I could not get a job, nappy hair was not allowed
My mother couldn´t afford us all, she had to throw me out
I walked the strip, with just a clip, who want to hit
Thank God I am quick, I had to eat this money as good as spent
A ´do in braids, I wasn´t paid enough
I kept em long ´cause I could not afford a hair-cut
I got laughed at, I got jumped, I got dissed
I got upset, I got a tick & a banana clip
With down the flow, don´t let them any dealin´ tackhead
A celebate rope, so a lotta good it´da did
Or done, if not bad luck I´d have none
Why did I´ve to live the life of such a bad one
Why when I was a kid & played I was the sad one
And always wanted to live like this or that one

Chorus

A ghetto bastard, born next to the projects
Livin´ in the slums with bums I said now why Treach
Do I´ve to be like this, mama said I am priceless
So I´m, I am worthless, starvin´, that is just what being nice gets
Sometimes I wish I could afford a pistol then though
To stop the hell, I´da ended things a while ago
I aint have jack, but a black hat & knap-sack
War scars, stolen cars & a blackjack
Drop that, & now you want me to rap & give
Say smth positive, well positive aint where I live
I live right around the corner from west hell
Two blocks from south shit, & once in a jail cell
The sun never shine on my side of the street see
And only once or twice a week I´d speak
I walked alone, my state of mind was home sweet home
I could not keep a girl, they wanted kids & cars with chrome
Some life, if you aint wearin´ gold, your style was old
And you got more juice & dope for every bottle sold
Hell no, I say theres have got to be a better way
But hey, never gamble in a game that you can not play
I am going to flaunt it, going to know when, know when & not now
How will I do it, how will I make it, I would not, that is how
Why me huh

Chorus

My 3rd yeahr to adulthood, still a knucklehead
I am better off dead, huh, that is what my neighbor said
I do not do jack but fightin´ lightin´ up the streets at night
Playing hide-and-seek with a machete, sets of Freddie´s spikes
Some say I am all in all, nothing but a dog now
I answer that with a f*ck you & a bow-wow
´Cause I done been through more shit within the last week
Than the fly flowin´ in doo-doo on a concrete
I have been a dead beat, dead to the world & dead wrong
Since I was born, that is my life, oh you do not know this song
So don´t say jack, & please don´t say you understand
All that man-to-man talk can walk, damn
If you aint live it, you could not feel, so fill it skillet
All that talk about it wouldn´t help it out, now will it
In Illtown, feel like you stuck up, propped, & shot
Don´t worry, he got hit by a flurry & this punk ass dropped
But I am the one who´s been labaled as an outcast
They teach in school some of the misfits I´ll outlast
But that is cool, with the fool smack ´im backwards
That is what you get when you are f*ckin´ with the ghetto bastard

If you aint never been to the ghetto
Don´t ever come to the ghetto
´Cause you´dn´t understand the ghetto
So stay the f*ck out of the ghetto
Why me, Why me
