I Wonder If Heaven Got A Ghetto - 2Pac

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I was raised, a 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

Found a block, got a Glock, and I clock grips

Makin' G’s was my mission

Movin' enough of this shit 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 fuck, but you’re learnin' now

If you don’t respect the town then we’ll burn you down

Goddamn, it’s a motherfuckin' riot

Black people on a rage, 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 niggas 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

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

Here on Earth, tell me what’s a black 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 going on for years, there’s plenty more

When they ask me, «When will the violence cease?»

When your troops stop shootin' niggas down in the street

Niggas had enough, time to make a difference

Bear witness, own our own business

Fuck the guard, ‘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 them ‘cause for years they would take from me

Now the tables have turned around

You didn’t listen, until the niggas burned it down, huh

And now Bush can’t stop the hit

I predicted the shit in 2Pacalypse

And for once I was down with niggas

Felt good in the hood being around the niggas

Yeah, and for the first time everybody let go

And the streets is death row, I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

Yeah, I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

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 wasted

Take the evil out the people, they’ll be actin' right

‘Cause both black and white are smokin' crack tonight

And the 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 mornin' and I ask myself:

Is life worth livin'?

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 negro

Pull the trigger, kill a nigga, he’s a hero

Mo' nigga, mo' nigga, mo' niggas

Rather be a dead than a po' nigga

Let the Lord judge the criminals

If I die, I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

And I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

Just think if niggas decide to retaliate

(Soulja in the house)

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

Yeah, I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto

Just think if niggas decide to retaliate
