Ghetto Superman Lyrics - The Phoenix - Lyfe Jennings

Ha, ha, I'm fine y'all 

It's your boy Ghetto Superman 

A.k.a Lyfe, a.k.a don't got a wife 

What up Young Boy? 

Everybody talkin' about livin' on Capital Hill 

We livin' on the hill, ya know? 

Talkin' about the front row, front row? 

We livin' on death row 

We grew up in the gutter 

Eatin' peanut butter sandwiches with no jam 

We looked up to the hustlers on the corner 

Throat sore from screamin', "Get your money man" 

Had dreams of movin' on up to the big leagues 

Like George, Weezy and Florence 

But it's kinda hard when police is havin' you killed 

Resurrected, rearrested for old bench warrants 

Yeah, it's a struggle man, but we handle it the best we can 

Only difference between folks that's free and folks in jail 

Is some of us got caught on our way to Heaven 

Takin' the shortcut through Hell 

Ghetto Superman, faster than a speeding Cadillac 

Able to leap tall buildings 

When police is on your back, yeah 

It's a bird, it's a plane, no 

It's Ghetto Superman, talk slick as Republicans 

Sold almost as much dope as Uncle Sam 

Your friendly neighborhood Superman 

If you played on my playground 

You'd be used to hearin', "Stay down, they shootin'" 

Lost my daddy in a shoot out, chest all blew out 

Another family ruined 

Had dreams of findin' a good job 

So he wouldn't have to rob niggas, I'm a stick up kid 

Finally get what we deserved 

Instead of havin' to take what they give us 

Yeah, it's a struggle man but we takin' it 

One bullet at a time 

But it's kinda hard to get that monkey off your back 

While that monkey still on your mind, on your mind 

Superman, faster than a speeding Cadillac 

Able to leap tall buildings 

When police is on your back, yeah 

It's a bird, it's a plane, no 

It's Ghetto Superman, talk slick as Republicans 

Sold almost as much dope as Uncle Sam 

Your friendly neighborhood Superman 

It's a bird, it's a plane, no 

It's Ghetto Superman, y'all 

It's a bird, it's a plane, no 

It's Ghetto Superman, y'all 

It's a bird, it's a plane, no 

It's Ghetto Superman, y'all 

It's a bird, it's a plane, no 

It's Ghetto Superman, y'all
