[Chorus: I wonder if heaven got a ghetto (4X)] I was raised
the little young nigga doin bad shit Talk much shit cause I never had shit I could remember being whupped in class And if I didn t pass mama whupped my ass Was it my fault papa didn t plan it out Broke out left me to be the man of the house I couldn t take it
had to make a profit Down the block
got a glock
and I clock grip Makin G s was my mission Movin enough of to get my mama out the kitchen and why must I sock a fella
just to live large like Rockefeller First you didn t give a
but you re learnin now If you don t respect the town then we ll burn you down God damn it s a mother in riot Black people only hate police so don t try it If you re not from the town then don t pass through Cause some O.G.
fools might blast you It ain t right but it s long overdue We can t have peace til the niggaz get a piece too I want G s so you label me a criminal And if I die
I wonder if heaven got a ghetto [Chorus] [Verse Two: 2Pac] Here on Earth
tell me what s a blick life worth A bottle of juice is no excuse
the truth hurts And even when you take the shit Move counties get a lawyer you can shake the shit Ask Rodney
LaTasha
and many more It s been goin on for years
there s plenty more When they ask me
when will the violence cease? When your troops stop shootin niggaz down in the street Niggaz had enough time to make a difference Bear witness
own our own business Word to God cause it s hard tryin to make ends meet First we couldn t afford shit now everything s free so we loot
please don t shoot when you see I m takin from the
cause for years they would take it from me Now the tables have turned around You didn t listen
until the niggaz burned it down And now Bush can t stop the hit Predicted the shit
in 2Pacalypse And for once I was down with niggaz
felt good in the hood bein around the niggaz
yeah And for the first time everybody let go And the streets is death row
I wonder if heaven got a ghetto [Chorus] [Verse Three: 2Pac] I see no changes
all I see is racist faces Misplaced hate makes disgrace to races We under I wonder what it take to make this one better place
let s erase the wait state Take the evil out the people they ll be acting right Cause both black and white are smokin crack tonight And only time we deal is when we kill each other It takes skill to be real
time to heal each other And though it seems heaven-sent We ain t ready
to have a black President
huh It ain t a secret don t conceal the fact The penitentiary s packed
and it s filled with blacks I wake up in the morning and I ask myself Is life worth living should I blast myself I m tired of being poor and even worse I m black My stomach hurts so I m lookin for a purse to snatch Cops give a damn about a ne-gro Pull a trigger kill a he s a hero Mo nigga mo nigga mo niggaz I d rather be dead than a po nigga Let the Lord judge the criminals If I die
I wonder if heaven got a ghetto [Chorus (to :27 from fade)] Just think
if niggaz decide to retaliate (Soldier in the house) I wonder if heaven got a ghetto [4X to fade]
