Ghetto Dreams

Creed B Good

Yeah, uh, uh

Creed B Good

Yeah, you know

Look, uh, look

I'm sorry, y'all, I'm not a corny kid (Nope)

I just wanna be big, I just wanna make hits

I don't really like school, but I love to write a verse

I wanna express myself, but they tell me not to curse

I'm still in the inner city, I ain't from no suburbs

I know how it feel to wake up hungry, and now your stomach hurt

Food in the kitchen, but I can't cook it, 'cause I'm eight

Life is like a gamble, roll the dice, and win the race

Want a house by the lake, tired of seein' my mom in pain

My big brother is my hero, I just wanna see him win

I know how it feel to get abandoned by your dad

I know, I know how it feel to want the things you never had

I know how it feel to be in the ghetto

I know how it feel to be in the ghetto

Everywhere I go, they lookin' at me like a thug

All I get is hate, but all I really want is love

I know how it feel bein' Black in the ghetto

I know how it feel bein' Black in the ghetto

Mama said, "Come home before the streetlights on"

The streets hot, but in my house, ain't no daddy at home

Mama workin' hella late to keep the lights on

I be in my room, writin' songs on my iPhone (Yeah, yeah)

I thank God for the mama that I got

But the cards that we was dealt say I'll probably go to jail

I'm just a kid in the ghetto, I don't got no role model

I got this chip on my shoulder, and you know that I'm a soldier, like

I'm just tryna beat the odds, yeah

They ain't lookin' for no jobs

Where I'm from, your best friend will get you robbed (Set you up)

I gotta make it to the top

This song is dedicated to all the inner-city babies

If you have a dream, chase it

Don't let nobody tell you you can't be great

Work towards your goal every day

And before you know it, you're gonna be a champ
