All We Know Lyrics

This is the gutter the slums

Riddle wit nothing but bums

Druggies and guns

Where women and children

In broken down buildings

Are living off of TANIF and government funds

I roll through the hood with a fifth on my lap

And dream about places I wish I was at

Can't wait to be paid and than Move to the neighborhoods far from the city

Where rich people at

Fake motherfuckers who tell cops

Put real motherfuckers in cell blocks

Where dope fiends

Throw up smoke screens

Running game on the people who sell rocks

The streets are political, knowledge is critical

Criminal minds in these cynical times

Where good information

Can be your salvation

And make up the difference tween living and drying

No matter where you're from, thugs is everywhere

The whole world is a slum, drugs is everywhere

There ain't nowhere to run, murders everywhere

When you're growing up in the slums wit

Pimps, Hustlers and dealers

It's all we know

Growing up in the slums wit

Strippers, gangsters and killers

It's all we know

Growing up in the slums wit

Blacks, whites, browns all in together now

Struggling hard on the block and trying to get it now

It's all we know

Pimps, hustlers and dealers

Strippers, gangsters and killers

Thieves, junkies and villains

It's all we know

This is all we know

This is all we know

This is all we know

This is all we know

This is all we know

This is all we know

This is all we know

This is the block I grew up

Where people who talk like their tough

Get shot up and snuffed

We're drug overdoses and homicides

Put you inside of a box with a tux

Here they do not give a fuck

If they get locked up in the cuffs

They're calling you bluff

Everyone's chasing the money or chasing the high

And all of the cops are corrupt, huh

no matter your color, religion or sex

We're all in the struggle this shit is a mess

Ghetto is venomous, Poor has no prejudice

life is so bad we look forward to death

The coke and the crack

The heroine, Meth

Take us all out, there ain't none of us left

We kill one another to get to that bread

Who wins in the end can be anyone's guess

No matter where you're from, thugs is everywhere

The whole world is a slum, drugs is everywhere

There ain't nowhere to run, murders everywhere

When you're growing up in the slums wit

Pimps, Hustlers and dealers

It's all we know

Growing up in the slums wit

Strippers, gangsters and killers

It's all we know

Growing up in the slums wit

Blacks, whites, browns all in together now

Struggling hard on the block and trying to get it now

It's all we know

Pimps, hustlers and dealers

Strippers, gangsters and killers

Thieves, junkies and villains

It's all we know

This is all we know

This is all we know

This is all we know

But is this all we know
