Living in shadows,
Grabbing what we can,
Off the ground we find the grub,
Ain’t no shame left now,

Ghetto heaven is right here,
Waking up next day-
And knowing I can breath,
One more day to survive,

Somehow strive through this laced
Out, messed up, life,
You don’t know anything-
For you be watching your TV
And playing your play station,

While I be holding doors,
Hoping for a tip-
Saving up every penny,
To buy me that bike,

It don’t matter that it be second hand,
At least I got that ride-
Earned it through my own two hands,
So don’t judge me or test,

A bullet be blazing-
Past your bed frame,
Knowing its time to move,
And find the next hole to crawl to.

I speak insanity. I write fantasy. I sleep reality.

I thought ghetto heaven would be something like..., well pretty much the opposite.  Like a free meal everyday and the same bed to sleep in each and everynight.  Naw.  I get it.  Just listen to some music and keep your mind occupied.  Jesus loves EVERYONE.
