Chords for Lalah Hathaway - Ghetto Boy ft. Snoop Dogg

_ _ On the [C#] ground
_ We're [F#m] gonna get it
We're _ [C#] _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ gonna get it
We're [C#] _ _ _
gonna get it
Woke [G#m] up jumped out my bed
Seeing in [C#] another black brother dead
[G#] Speak to the pedal
Life don't matter when you born [C#] in the ghetto Saddle [G#] compassion
Gang sign flashing, neighborhood [C#] flashing
Broad day blasting
Killing the youth is a fashion
And now they wonder why we marching
Like in the 60's with Malcolm and [F#] Martin
Which side with your shoes?
Don't lie [C#] with the news
Building more penitentiaries, no schools being built in my hood
It's probably [C#] why we misunderstood
That's the best that he [G#] could
You know the streets racing
The homies praised him
Then the police choked him out of tasty
He was dead on arrival
Only the strong survive, it's called survival
[F#m] I ain't make these rules
I just take these rules
[C#] It make me wanna like that view
Bust [B] on these fools
But I choose to be calm
Bow my head and interlock my palms
[F#m] And think about all the homies that's gone
That never got a chance to live on
And get grown
_ Let life begin
Toys [C#] turn to friends and boys turn to men
[F#] Little ghetto boy _ _ _ _
[G#] Playing in the ghetto streets
_ [C#] _ _ _
[F#] What you gonna do when you grow [C#] up?
And have to face [F#] responsibilities
What you gonna do when you grow up?
I move out, I [C#] ain't trippin'
I got so much to say
[G#] Kicked out my mama house, now I'm on the street
No [C#] clothes, no house, shit I ain't got nothing to eat
I turn to the set to get me a sack
To get my feet back
Cause ain't nobody hiring a two time felon
So I'm drug selling, rebelling with no talent
Fell in a trap, ain't trying to go [C#m] back
Pigs on my ass, hands [G#] on my strap
I bust one, I bust two
Now they bust [Bm] back
Code for [C#m] Dickerman, should've been at home
[A#] With my mama straight [G] kickin' it, dead on [G#m] arrival
Only the strong survive, it's called [Bm] survival
G's up on my arrival, a real [D] rider
_ [C#m] _ _ [D#] _ _ [G] _ _
[G#m] _ _ _ _ [B] _ [F#] Na na na na na
Little ghetto boy
[C#] _ _ _
[F#] Playing in the ghetto streets
[C#] _ _ _ _
[F#] What you gonna do when you grow up?
[C#] _ And have to [F#m] face responsibilities
_ [C#] _ _ _
[C#m] Will you spend your days and nights
[B] In a pool room
[F#m] Will you sell cops and [G#m] madness
In the neighborhood
[F#] Little ghetto boy
[C#] _ _ _
[F#] Playing in the ghetto streets
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
[F#] What you gonna do when you grow [C#] up
And have to [F#m] face responsibilities
What you gonna do when you grow up
_ [C#] _ [C#m] I don't [F#m] know
Everything _ _ [G#] _ has _
[G] _ _ to [C#m] get better
