Levantore
Yeah it's just ghetto
Kid test the devil to hit the next level
Wish they was a rebel with cerebral metal
Inflex the bezzle with the peddle to the metal
In a thug's paradise where love have a price
So we love for life like thugs love the night
They sell drugs for ice for the Benz with bug lights
Some hug mics to the world hung like parasites
The likes lethal the mics lead you
A sneak preview watch what we do
And what the hood teach you
I still see through the eye of a needle
So I can watch people
'Cause slug backwards is evil
Levantore
Yo what's this
Yo bust this
Yo it's time to up lift
They think all we do is bust clips and puff splifs
And plush whips and clutch chips and touch chicks
Flont rocks like Fort Knox and hog blocks
Taunt cops with more props and we want not
Panhandling with your mans and them
Scrambling gambling plans to win
While the cops clock 'em thieves flock 'em
Women watch 'em traders wanna top 'em
Ay yo what's the problem
Before the narcs knock 'em
Opposite playas plot to rob 'em
The ghetto got 'em
My man said it's rough at the bottom
Levantore
Ghetto alert let's do
Whatever work to get rid of the curse
We went from 1st to America's worst
On this competitive turf
Now let's inherit the earth
There's more prize for one another
And call shots
12:00'til the next ball drop
All year around plus they shuffle non stop
You think it's rough at the bottom
It's even rougher on top
My peeps gonna have to reach and turn for me
And everybody's side of the street'll be celly
Ain't nothing funny
Burn plenty and burn money
And earn money and watch the century turn 20
Levantore
We all should from the woods
To the big city and the small hood
Everybody should be welcome
To the ball if we all could
But we fall 'cause we brawl
Yo it ain't all good
We need to play right
Stay tight with ya air alight
Keep your game tight
No need to play trife
Get cheese from the daylight to the late night
And it's shouldn't take death to appreciate life
Before a lot parish
We got to cherish if Allah let us
Let's give prop and merits till the block flourish
In this metropolis stay on top of this
You know what the prophet is be prosperous
Levantore
Now we networking
Respect the next person
It'll be less hurting
Or left lurking while we kept our dreads working
Connect set for certain total networking
Last chance to advance and stash grands
If you have plans to have fam and mad land
Own shine condone crime or hold 9s
I know what the problem is killing our own kind
To my flame throwers train sober remain soldiers
Stay sane so these pretty dames can hold us
Terror terrain rollers
And range rovers so the train goers
Claim your fame maintain till your game's over
Levantore
Ghetto alert let's do
Whatever work to get rid of the curse
We went from 1st to America's worst
On this competitive turf
Now let's inherit the earth
There's more prize for one another
And call shots
12:00'til the next ball drop
All year around plus they shuffle non stop
You think it's rough at the bottom
It's even rougher on top
My peeps gonna have to reach and turn for me
And everybody's side of the street'll be celly
Ain't nothing funny burn plenty and burn money
And earn money and watch the century turn 20
