Crack Lyrics - Scarface

[Scarface] 

They say the world is a ghetto, I'm witnessin a generation die 

By poverty sickness and homicide 

Now momma on the front pew, askin the preacher why 

Like he knowin what it's like to be hated and criticized 

And sharks in the water create you the wrong way 

when you're a target, see that's how these niggaz out here behave 

I hate to go to funerals, I never visit graves 

Cause I'm knowin that through this dirt that you can't hear me when I say 

that I love you dawg, and out of all them power moves I coulda made 

I focused on keepin your family straight 

I, po' out some liquor so you don't go out forgotten 

I'm drownin off in this bottle, tryin to solve my fuckin problems 

New days changes, different than how it was 

We upped it from stealin cars to hustlin, dealin drugs 

I've seen a whole lot of good niggaz die 

Cause the ghetto took advantage when situations provide

[Chorus] 

That's my life - story of a nigga in the ghetto 

Money minimal so we settle 

For whatever they give us in the ghetto 

We settle 

That's my life - story of a nigga in the ghetto 

Crack rock slangin in the ghetto 

Momma why you leave me in the ghetto 

The ghetto 

[Scarface] 

The little kids in the hood live a life with no outlets 

Rap or ball playin to survive 

Devils in disguise in the fact that a nigga's broke 

Makes him more prone to drop out of school and fuck with dope 

With hopes of gettin paper and chasin his fuckin dream 

But America's got us dyin for it waitin for relief 

The penitentiaries is filled to the max 

with my people who tried to make it out but never made it back 

Crack, to see yo' momma doin bad 

Hit as hard as you see it, yo' daddy sittin on his ass 

doin nothin, fuck it, that's when them tears start rushin 

White powder in the coffee pot bubblin, hustlin 

I know exactly where you at dawg 

Out there on the corner where the rats crawl 

It's my life 

Photos 

[Chorus] 

[Scarface] 

I shoot it out befo' I bail, fly befo' I set sail 

I'd rather die cause I could never tell 

Rather see Heaven, I done been through Hell 

Seen the elderly fucked by drug laws, niggaz dyin in jail 

The guidelines stiffer, they sentence my people different 

Instead of intervention they sendin us straight to prison 

First time offenders get tangled up in the system 

For ghost dope, he went from dopeman to straight killer 

It's po' folks, you livin in the hood but yet and still you can't survive 

Cause Reagan never planned for us to rise 

The war on drugs turned to a war on us 

Then AIDS just topped it off, this shit here is fucked up 

You either, eat or you starve, rob or go get a job 

Break down to either wake up, hustle or pray to God 

Faith is one thing without work you ain't got nothin 

Decisions from a motherfucker strugglin 

[Chorus]
