Ghetto tales living in the hood
Just a young kid getting up to no good
I won't be defeated I, I won't be defeated I
Ghetto tales living in the hood
Just a, young kid getting up to no good
Im not supposed to be balling I defied the odds
23 like Jordan all glory to god
On the block selling this And I'm just trying make a living
I don't even wana listen if it's not about funds
Tryin come up get a whole lot of money
See the squad on one getting everything they wanted
I grind no sleep overtime till I'm weak
I'm In the cold till I freeze i gotta make do
I Got bills to pay and the rents overdue
I gotta baby on the way so accept no excuse
My girls on my back how we gonna carry on
Baby please hold on All hope ain't gone
This is all for us I will not lose I will go prove, trust
Today I woke An im still breathing
I'm blessed In god I believe in
Even if I gotta fight demons I no I won't be defeated
I, I won't be defeated, I, I wouldn't defeated, Ghetto tales
Ghetto tales living in the hood
Young kid on a mission I got dreams to pursue
A victim to the system cuz they target the youth
They don't wana see us grow harvest An bloom
So they only let us get so far then they shoot
So we gotta think smarter An go a different route
This is my life here
I'm not arguing with you
I'm live it with no fear
I'm not bargaining with you
I'm not selling no dope I'm not floating with the birds
I'm just selling some hope through spoken word
U could kill me now but a profit never dies
So my words live on when I'm gone in the sky
Teach these kids what's wrong from right
And if you make it through the storm
Till the morning everything will be alright
Dream in clear sight then bring it to life
Today I woke An im still breathing
I'm blessed In god I believe in
Even if I gotta fight demons I no I won't be defeated
I, I won't be defeated, I, I wouldn't defeated, Ghetto tales
