Born in the ghetto Lyrics

Ayo Kwan, we bout to get crazy on this one

Yes sir

I was born in the ghetto, 183rd

And the kid might be white but he came from the dirt

I ain't grow up like them other kids

No comic books stuck in the orphanage

Growing up, life was the hardest

Shit, why you think they call me darkness

Delt a bad hand, I ain't have a silver spoon

Thank God for the lunches in the school room

Life through curve balls, better yet Nolan Ryans

I was poor for real that aint lying

No Hulk Hogan toys or the G.I. Joes

I stole army men right out the corner store

Cap guns, shot blanks, no ammo

Mom said we needed food

I lived a bronx tale, no Dinero to drive a bus

My pops left me behind, shit outta luck

I got older now, now I write my life down

Never pictured that rap would turn my life around

Heard a white boy spitting from the hood, they laughed

And now they wanna test how authentic is that

I get hated on a daily basis

And now they mad I can see it in they faces

I keep it real, I ain't never on no fake shit

These my wonder years and they ain't basic

No Winnie, no father

Dark Savage, yes I'm the author

I met the world, now call me Cory

Still a savage, same story

Life through curve balls but I'm the one pitching now

Call me Dark Gooden cause I got the yay now

And now they line up for tickets to the ball game

And if they got the bread then we good for the season man

Listen, I played a lot of innings

But I had to slow it down

I never pictured I'd be using

Wake up one day and your kid's what you're losing

I'd probably be dead if it wasn't for this music

I wish I could go back and rewind the time

They said I'd be dead by the time I'm 25

So I'm guessing it's a blessing I'm alive

I sit back, analyze the cause I was given

My misfortunes, no point in living

But on the flip side my struggle's in existence

I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

My music's the miracle take, my last breath

I got the heart of a hustler, I'm a grind to the death

The darkness they should fear

From lips to their ears, they feelin' my tears

Man, it's so inspirational

That it inspires me to be sensational

Yes sir

You already know it's your boy Darq
