The Golden Ghetto Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm tryna build a name for myself (for myself)
Out here on my grind, that's for sure (that's for sure)
Niggas salty when they given help (when they helped)
Makes me wanna walk my own road (walk my own road)
The same talk
The team work make the dream work (dream work)
But we can't trust none of these hoes (of these hoes)
But living in the city of the sin, hey
This is all a nigga know (know)


[Hook 2X's]
I'm tryna be a man now (be a man now)
Dear Lord, what's my plans now? (what's my plans now?)
This fast money keep on calling on a rebel
Get your ho and welcome to the golden ghetto
Tired of doing bad

[Verse 2]
She tryna build a life for herself
Never thought that she be taking off her clothes
But shit rent gotta get paid, hey
So she work for all that she owns
Late night, early mornings
Baby, can I hit it in the morning?
She don't understand what I've been through
Between me and you, as a man
It's hard to deal with what you do, so
[Hook 2X's]

[Verse 3]
They don't know I access, she put on that black dress
She told me it was trap season so I'mma bring this cash back
You can't teach her how to smile, she already got a child
Can't perceive what a man is cause her father was not around
She gonna go blend in on the strip, you can't tell that she own her shit
But these tourists come from out of town wanna drink and spend money on a bitch
So many girls I know on to this, keep hoping, it's harder, you shook
She work hard for them looks, she's just another page, just a part of a book
But still, no

[Hook 2X's]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
