Oooh yeah good lord, don't know the pain
Sometimes woman don't understand what men be going through
Or when a good man is looking right at you
Ain't this ghetto for ya baby, listen girl
I'm a son of pain i was born to this game
At a early age wishing i could just turn the page
74' momma pulled the trigger daddy couldn't figure
How to stand the rain until the rainbow came to say the least
Like the rage of a beast, the pride of a warrior
Ain't afraid to come place it for ya
Sometimes i feel that me life is going up in smoke
Trying not to choke cause this shit here ain't no joke ooh no no no
You see fake niggers scream ride or die
They can recite all the lyrics but what they sayin if they had to live it most would fear it
They erase the track cause they ain't got the heart to spit it
You don't know the pain i feel
You don't know what it took (all the trouble it took)
For me to stay of the hook
Blood sweat and tears all these years
It's ghetto rain coming down can you feel my pain
Tell me what do you know about your alarm clock ringing
5:30 in the morning same ol' song you singing
It's the hell of waking up when you just went to sleep
You got to meet the man cause your job your trying to keep
But 30% of what your making is already taking it's time for a raise but the boss keeps on faking ooh girl
It's survival of the fittest ain't no rules to this business
So get what you can take and take what you can get
Counting on paper you ain't made yet ooh no no no
You see life is a gamble are you willing to bet
Sometimes you win sometimes you lose
The chose is yours to choose ooh baby what will you do
You don't know the pain i feel but it's all so very real
You don't know what it took for me to get off the hook
And all the trouble i shook
The blood sweat and tears all those years i lived in hell
It's ghetto rain do you feel my pain
Do you feel my pain baby all i wanna know is this ghetto for ya
Ain't this ghetto for ya 3x
How can one country boy be so ghetto
Can you feel my pain take it or leave it
