TRUE Classic - Dr. Dre ft Snoop Dogg's Lil Ghetto Boy

From the birth of g funk album the chronic.

LYRICS

[Verse One: Snoop Doggy Dogg]

Wake up, jumped out my bed
Hung in a 2 man cell wit my homie Lil 1/2 Dead
Murder was the case that they gave me
Dear God, I wonder can you save me
I'm only 18, so I'm a young buck
It's a ride, if I don't scrap, I'm getting stuck
But that's the life of a G, I guess
Ese's way deep, shanked two in they chest
Bests run 'cause brothers is dropping quicker
Ugn, too late, damn, down goes another nigga
Bouncing off the walls, throwing them dogs
Getting a rep as a young hog
It ain't nuttin like the street life
Betta be strapped wit yo clip, cuz ain't no fist fight
So I guess I gots ta handle mine
Since I did the crime, I gots ta do my time

[Chorus: Dat Nigga Daz]

Lil' ghetto boy
Playing in the ghetto streets
What'cha gonna do when you grow up
And have to face responsibility

[Verse Two: Dr. Dre]

Now, I'm 'trolling the dove, sitting on swoll
27 years old, off on parole, stroll
I'm back up on my feet wit my mind on the money
That I'm making as soon as I touch the street
Things done changed but it's alright
Remember they used to thump but now they blast, right
But it ain't no thing to me
'Cause now I'm what they call a loced-assed O.G.
The little homies from the hood wit grip
Are the ones I get wit 'cause I'm down respect trip
Nigga, I'm bigger than you, so what'cha wanna do
Didn't know we had a 22
Straight sitting behind his back
I'm grab his pockets and then I heard six caps
I fell to the ground wit blood on my hands
I didn't understand
How a nigga so young could bust a cap
I use to be the same way back
I guess that's what I get (for what)
For trying to jack them little homies for they bread

[Chorus: Dat Nigga Daz]

Lil' ghetto boy
Playing in the ghetto streets
What'cha gonna do when you grow up
And have to face responsibility

[Verse Three: Snoop Doggy Dogg]

Something for the real OG's to get wit
Some facts, made our made, now you wanna run and play
Like every single day, really doe
You know me, I'm the smooth macadamien, gaming them for my homie
No need to be uncalm if you pack right
And learning just enuff to keep your sack right
Late nights, I wonder what they getting fo'
Early morning on the corners, what they hitting fo'
Seven young G's but they serve down
In a jeep ride, east side what they swerve now
Not thinking about what's really going on
Got crept on, stepped on, now they gone
I spent 4 years in the county wit nutting but convicts around me
But now I'm back at the pound
And we expose ways for the youth to survive
Some think it's wrong but we tend to think it's right
So make all them ends you can make
'Cause when you're broke, you break, check it out
So ain't no need for your mama to trip
'Cause you's a hustling ass youngsta, clocking your grip

[Chorus: Dat Nigga Daz]

Lil' ghetto boy
Playing in the ghetto streets
What'cha gonna do when you grow up
And have to face responsibility

[The808Prophet]

[HardFactsMan]

i didn't know that Dre created a video for this song. this song ministered to me back in the 90's when the street were BLAZING with the crack and drug epidemic. I too was slangin and bangin and life in the hood was as Biggie said "and everyday struggle" . This is one of the best hood songs EVER- gives me chills to hear it! The intro, "this is out future right here! If i have to die today for this lil African to have a future, THEN I AM DEAD MUTHAFUCKA" IS THE REALEST SHIT EVER PUT ON WAX!!!

i know what you mean i cant listen to anything these days its all commercial bullplop, but back in the day they used a sample it was somthing not like the shit that comes out these days lmao

[CDMATHISSR]

@01289PUDNAN it does matter... thats why you got people sounding alike , thinking they're the originators LoL. A lot of the names I mentioned before a lot of the younger "rappers" never heard of. So it does matter. There's nothing wrong with sampling but don't keep regurgitating the same damn samples.There are other songs to sample...like BONE did with "Wind Blow".If everybody sounds alike ,we get the like of Wocka flocka lame and LiL wayne stupid shit! So yeah it matters.

[CDMATHISSR]

@DaManzMoney  Exactly LoL!!

[DaManzMoney]

@CDMATHISSR you know it just like all these people who laugh at Dre for being in Worold Class Wreckin Crew but if Dre didn't come from where he did we all wouldn't have got a chance to listen to all these great tracks with these classic beats

[grass4life]

i agree
