Spice 1

Welcome to the ghetto

(verse 1)
Livin day by day in my hood on the spot
See the same old things:same dope fiends cops
Just an average day in the streets of california
5-0 find a young girl dead around the corner
Mommies on her knees she had tears in her eyes
And nobody knew why the young girl had to die
People look ashamed it's been life this fo years
Bloody sheets on her body face wet from her mama's tears
She couldn'ta been over 4-5
And if mommy wasn't based she would still be alive
But now the street is a place you could be swallowed by death
Brothas takin each other's lives
And goin to rest in peace
I wonder if heaven got a ghetto
My cousin died last year
And i still can't let go
I walk the streets of my city of my neighborhood
Seein dope fiends livin off can goods
15 niggaz on the corner
And niggaz die young in california
5-0 'll get a dope case and flaunt it
Have your ass on "america's most wanted"
But i don't slang or either gang-bang
And though my old school homies do the same thang
I still got love cause you gotta live
So you can give
And raise a family g
But you gotta do your best slangin d-o-p-e
So keep a grip on yourself and stay mellow
And welcome to the ghetto
(welcome hard up with it to my life) ??

(chorus) 4x
Welcome to the ghetto
(welcome hard up with it to my life)

(verse 2)
From across the seas comes cocaine
But you never seen a black man fly the plane
Look at the a href="news:a">news:a /a> young black death
Was it drug related,take a guess
I flash when i look in the mirror black
Cause my reflection is a 9 millimeter gat
I think about genocide
And have thoughts of my homies who died
Everybody backstabbin
But i ain't the one to talk i'm into gafflin
Death gives a shit about your color
But yet i see mo dead young brothas
I'm goin crazy out here
Seein 24 brothas die by the end of the year
And i still gotta deal with the 5-0
And i stopped sellin dope in 9-0
But if i came to it
I probably still do it
Put a nine in my draws get straight to it
I hope that i never see the day
That i get 20 years for a cake
B-k-a as a key
So open up the door for the mo money
But i ain't gotta do that g
Cause i'm down with the f-a to the c to the u to the l-t-y
G-nut x-tra large and s-p-i-c-e make niggas feel like jello
And welcome to the ghetto
(welcome hard up with it to my life)

(chorus) 4x

Welcome to the ghetto 7x

So get out the shit break bitch because i'll just
Pistol whip your ass and slam the tape

But ant and spice won't be takin no bullshit

So nigga empty your pocket pull out your bank roll
Try to be a hero and let us nut up your ass hole

But i specialize in stoppin nigga's hearts

Let them niggas know what time it is
[ spice 1 ]
Yeah
Check it

[ verse 1 ]
I like to walk around my hood, smokin dank a lot
I see some brothers in the trees, is they slingin rocks?
Runnin through a broken-down wooden fence
A nigga didn't have brains cause he smoked sinse
Or sess, or whatever you wanna call it
He got the task on his ass, better haul it
Fiends suckin up the crack in the backyard
Dropped a pebble on the ground, now he's lookin hard
Will he keep searchin or will he cease and just forget the hit?
Or pull a jack move and let the nine click
I'm in the cut, late night, about 12 o'clock
I see some brothers bustin caps in a parking lot
There go my homies rollin up in a black 'vette
Nothin but the money for the paycheck
"another day, another dead up in the alleyway"
That's what the boys in the bay up in cali say
The california life, task in the palm trees
Brothers be clockin g's, slingin ki's
Up in my neighborhood

[ chorus: larry b. davis & bobby b. ross ]
In my neighborhood
(in my neighborhood)
In my
In my
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood

[ verse 2 ]
Funk - is a part of my life
It's the sound of the gangster spice
Warning - check out the blast of a shotgun
Nine muthafuckin millimeter, have one
Or two or three or four
Cause every brother in my hood is hardcore
Boom-boom! to the death of a cop
Pop-pop-pop! - see another one drop
Crazy-ass nigga off the peppermint schnapps
And now you wonder why young niggas sling hop?
Never woulda thought i'd be a dealer of dope
Niggas slingin and bangin and breakin necks and throats
The spot, it was poppin, but yet the fuzz kept ridin my jock
Tick-tock, i watch the clock, they flock
See a undercover cop raise off the block
That's how it is in the game of slingin rocks
Cause on the tv they make it look real good
But mr. rogers ain't got shit on my niggas up in the neighborhood

[ chorus: larry b. davis & bobby b. ross ]
In my neighborhood
(in my neighborhood)
In my
In my
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood

[ verse 3 ]
Welcome to the ghetto, although i call it my neighborhood
Some people get out, but some people stay for good
I see a dopefiend yellin he's a o.g.
He scratched his head and started starin like he knows me
I say, "what up, old man, i seen your face before"
It was my homie's pops, shirt dirty, pants tore
He had a 40 in his hand, left a little swallow
He said, "young-ass nigga," and then he threw the bottle
I ducked down, and i had to duck real fast
Stepped two feet back, and then i banked his ass
I started kickin and stompin my nigga's brains out
I heard a bitch yell "freeze!" and runnin out the house
It was his wife, and the bitch started bustin at me
I can't believe this shit, this bitch is trigger-happy
Pull out my nine, bust the bitch in the left titty
That's how it is in a burned-out dopefiend city
And now you're sayin i'm the nigga up to no good
If gives a fuck if you're bush, you get jacked up in my neighborhood

[ chorus: larry b. davis & bobby b. ross ]
In my neighborhood
(in my neighborhood)
In my
In my
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood

It's like root beer one of a kind
Spice 1 is up in the house with the niggata-niggata-nine
And the clip and the trigga
Mutha fuckas try ta play me yet they callin' me they nigga
Should i get the a.k. and jump like jack
Or should i just reanimate the mutha fuckin' fac
My name is spice 1, but i be comin' like i'm 2
Or maybe 3 or 4 or just a mutha fuckin' crew
Late night see a drive-by drop impala
The niggaz took cover and the bitches all holla
If you think it's sick then nigga just throw up
I'm quick ta bust a cap and leave your fuckin' dome toe up
Cause livin' up in the bay is lke a mutha fuckin' zoo
Every nigga do whatever the fuck he gotta do
The mutha fuckin' rhyme did the crime last century
Now it's on parole because my mouth's in penitentiary
But back to the ghetto you see just about it all
Rest in peace to dead niggas on the wall
The shit it never stop because the nigga killed a cop
And now the cops are killin' the niggas 24 around clock
Around the block around the road in every ghetto
Mutha fuckas wanna drop me, so i'm livin' like the devil
With the underground pound, muder facul-sound
So niggas that fuck around lay around
And before i end this rhyme
I'd like ta say peace to my mutha fuckin' nine

The nine milimeter, the nine milimeter

Shootin' dice with some niggas that i didn't know
He pulled a nine when the double 4 hit the floe
I wonder why he'd wanna play me like a punk bitch
I thought he knew i was the one to let the nine click
I played his ass like jesse james and shot him in the throat
I picked his tongue up out my mail, now i'm outty ho
I'm stressin' it's a fucked up world "g"
I think about the shit that i used to see
Niggas runnin' 'round with the street sweepers
Mutha fuckas layin' dead loose change, beepers
Bitches screamin' about the niggaz gettin' fucked up
Fuck his bitch too, she was stuck up
187 mutha fuckas that my showcase
I'll load the clip and kill a whole mutha fuckin' race
I'm stressed out like a mutha fucka
Bitch got me for a 20, damn clucka
Yeah your right i'm livin' wrong "g"
And i never gave a fuck about a dope fiend family
I seen a dope fiend killed last week
Left a bloody base pipe in the street
They burnt the bitch up in the trunk over 80 dollars
Started drivin' around the hood and i can hear her hollar
Smoke comin' from the trunk bitch burnin' up
Cops turnin' down the streets they was turnin' up
I'm hearin' shots ring out 12 o'clock at night
A car full of dead niggas in the midnight
Because it gave the cops a reason just ta shoot 'em up
But now they tape the shit off, so yo suit 'em up
And before i end this rhyme
I'd like ta say peace to my mutha fuckin' nine

The nine milimeter, the nine milimeter

The police was comin' i had ta dump the body
But like i said on the city streets i'm john gotti
When it comes to the gangsta rap shit
I do a drive-by murder your whole click
See i'm a rebel without a pulse
Cause in my neighborhood you learn not to walk
Without a nine in your draws
It's like american express
Because a lot of crazy niggas wanna spill your flesh
But some crazy jealous mutha fuckas never sleep
I'm gettin' c.b. banner on the beep, beep, beep
Fill a, nigga to the rim like brim
Do a drive-by while i'm suckin' on a endo stem
Mix hennesey with thunderbird, gin and juice
I'm high as fuck, fuckin' around with 187 proof
Hard as a nickel but i'm quick as fuck to drop a dime
Because my boys got a nigga back prime time
Rata-tata-tat-tat
Any bitch wanna squab it's like that
Cause i ain't goin' out like a fag
Got the nigga for a ounce and a jag
Straight trip and pop the clip
Now i'm gettin' rich off his sip
Pick up my boys on the block and it's on
Slangin' dope by the drug-free zone
Straight gangsta mack
Keyes over keyes over g's i stack
So when you step, step with caution
Cause a nine to your throat 'll have ya caughin'
The s-p-i-c-e
In a rage with a gauge gettin' p-a-i-d
I ain't goin' out fuck mickey d's
I'd rather pimp hoes and clock g's
Cause that's what a real nigga do to make a livin'
The talent of pimp was naturaly given'
So before i end this rhyme
I'd like to say, peace to my mutha fuckin' nine

Yeah
I wanna say peace to my other mutha fuckin' nine
Yeah ant mutha fuckin' ba-ba-booga-booga mutha fuckin' banks
I wanna say what up to my nigga g mutha fuckin' mzz-nut, yeah
I wanna say what up to that girl shorty b in the mutha fuckin' house
And my mutha fckin' d.j.
Xtra mutha fuckin' large go on with your big ass heh-heh
Yeah, my nigga m.c. mutha fuckin' ant
Kickin' the funky shit with spice mutha fuckin' 1
187 in the mutha fuckin' house, peace

[ verse 1 ]
Murder, murder, murder muthafuckas
Yeah, i'm short, but my boys cause ruckus
It's the nigga that's icey like a popsicle
It's like the jail when it comes to clockin every nickel
You want static with the fac, bring that ass on
Tec-9 to the dome, nigga, live in traum'
I gotta get on the muthafuckin grind
Find a spot in the bushes for my nine
Cause niggas don't sleep on the spot
And if you do, you be the first to get got
So don't get caught on the slip
Pack a double m or a pistol grip
Robbin muthafuckas to stay alive
Cause in the ghetto only the strong survive
And o.g.'s, they can tell when the task hit
New jacks try to run and get they ass split
And a nine ain't shootin blanks
It's the cop who had a fucked up day and a little drink
Get a thrill for a kill, a trigger to a nigga
The feel of the black steel make him quiver
I got love for my jammie, it's a damn shame
But i ain't the one to get fucked in the game

Fucked in the game

[ verse 2 ]
A to the muthafuckin z
So close your eyes, grip your dick and count to three
If my dome is tried to fuck
I drag your ass through a alley and chop you up
I ain't takin no shorts, gee
I kill your dog and your baby and your muthafuckin family
Let spice hold the double m
I fuck around and go nuts and shoot up her and him
Cause it ain't no thang to let my dick hang
Gunshot bang, had to fuck him up, mayn
So now i'm watchin every nigga with a hawk eye
Put on a wig just like them homies doin walk-by
I think i need to see the wiz cause i'm heartless
Leave a lotta muthafuckas headless
Cap-cap-cap
Leave a nigga brains pulsatin in his lap
You get a hole in your chest without the vest
It's like messy marvin, leave a mess
Another black-ass nigga with a glock in his drawers
Gettin paid off the muthafuckin ashpalt
So if you wanna step to a nigga though
I'm pluggin muthafuckas up like a stereo
I got love for my jammie, it's a damn shame
But i ain't the one to get fucked in the game

Fucked in the game

I ain't the one

[ verse 3 ]
Boom-boom to the head, now your body numb
Put a hot one up in that ass, that's where i'm comin from
12 o'clock at night, nigga, up in the cut
Slingin caine and twump sacks, so what the fuck?
Livin like a muthafuckin sewer rat
Put away the nine, got a newer gat
Put the beam on a muthafucka fo'head
Emptied up the goddamn clip and left mo' dead
4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Got 5 caps left, 5 niggas got 8
To the dome, to the muthafuckin dome
Duck quick as fuck when i reach for the chrome
I got the vest, i got the vest
But he didn't get to it 'fore the slug hit his chest
Smokin muthafuckas up like doja
A nigga that's crazy and dyin to explode ya
187 up in the house, can you fuck with it?
It's like a car that crashed, so buckle up with it
Hot bullets make a nigga fry
A good night for a muthafuckin walk-by
Like bbd give me the gat and i'ma do ya
Like a hooker on a saturday night i'm quick to screw ya
Cause you the pussy waitin to get fucked by the fucker
Servin lemonheads to the cluckers
I got love for my jammie, it's a damn shame
But i ain't the one to get fucked in the game

Fucked in the game

Yeah
All y'all niggas out there in the muthafuckin spot
Y'all better watch y'all back
Niggas ain't bullshittin in '92
Put a hole in your chest without the vest
