[Chorus: I wonder if heaven got a ghetto (4X)]



I was raised, the little young nigga doin bad shit

Talk much shit cause I never had shit

I could remember being whupped in class

And if I didn't pass mama whupped my ass

Was it my fault papa didn't plan it out

Broke out left me to be the man of the house

I couldn't take it, had to make a profit

Down the block, got a glock, and I clock grip

Makin G's was my mission

Movin enough of this shit to get my mama out the kitchen and

why must I sock a fella, just to live large like Rockefeller

First you didn't give a fuck, but you're learnin now

If you don't respect the town then we'll burn you down

God damn it's a motherfuckin riot

Black people only hate police so don't try it

If you're not from the town then don't pass through

Cause some O.G. fools might blast you

It ain't right but it's long overdue

We can't have peace til the niggaz get a piece too

I want G's so you label me a criminal

And if I die, I wonder if heaven got a ghetto



[Chorus]



[Verse Two: 2Pac]



Here on Earth, tell me what's a blick life worth

A bottle of juice is no excuse, the truth hurts

And even when you take the shit

Move counties get a lawyer you can shake the shit

Ask Rodney, LaTasha, and many more

It's been goin on for years, there's plenty more

When they ask me, when will the violence cease?

When your troops stop shootin niggaz down in the street

Niggaz had enough time to make a difference

Bear witness, own our own business

Word to God cause it's hard tryin to make ends meet

First we couldn't afford shit now everything's free

so we loot, please don't shoot when you see

I'm takin from the, cause for years they would take it from me

Now the tables have turned around

You didn't listen, until the niggaz burned it down

And now Bush can't stop the hit

Predicted the shit, in 2Pacalypse

And for once I was down with niggaz, felt good

in the hood bein around the niggaz, yeah

And for the first time everybody let go

And the streets is death row, I wonder if heaven got a ghetto



[Chorus]



[Verse Three: 2Pac]



I see no changes, all I see is racist faces

Misplaced hate makes disgrace to races

We under I wonder what it take to make this

one better place, let's erase the wait state

Take the evil out the people they'll be acting right

Cause both black and white are smokin crack tonight

And only time we deal is when we kill each other

It takes skill to be real, time to heal each other

And though it seems heaven-sent

We ain't ready, to have a black President, huh

It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact

The penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks

I wake up in the morning and I ask myself

Is life worth living should I blast myself

I'm tired of being poor and even worse I'm black

My stomach hurts so I'm lookin for a purse to snatch

Cops give a damn about a ne-gro

Pull a trigger kill a nigger he's a hero

Mo' nigga mo' nigga mo' niggaz

I'd rather be dead than a po' nigga

Let the Lord judge the criminals

If I die, I wonder if heaven got a ghetto



[Chorus (to :27 from fade)]



Just think, if niggaz decide to retaliate

(Soldier in the house)

I wonder if heaven got a ghetto [4X to fade]
