Album: Unknown

Gotham City (Remix)

Gotham city for the ghetto ghetto [2x]

 

 Uhhh Yo yo! Everybody's talking

 about the good old days [2x]

 Huh I remember when me and my brothers

 we used to sit up on the poarch in the

 summertime and just talk about just making it

 You know what I'm saying being successful

 following up our dreams you know and I

 I believe that's every kids dream

 you know what I'm saying to rise and

 be somebody but damn!

 Sometimes we just get caught up

 

 I ain't got no money

 And I ain't got no friends

 Looks like my world is coming to an end

 No food on the table, no clothes on my back

 No shoes on my feet and

 I just bearly got a used cadillac

 Now ain't that ghetto for ya

 But somehow it's gotta change yeahh

 ghetto for ya 

 So I took this remix and 

 rearranged gotham city

 

 [Chorus:]

 City of love a city of peace

 for everyone of us 

 'Cause we all need it,

 can't live without it

 Gothamcity for the ghetto yeah! 

 

 Gotham city for the ghetto,

 that's what I'm talking 'bout

 Ghettofabulous, to a nigga health be hazardous

 If you wanna test raffiness for the respect

 S.T.R.I.N.G.S. Yes. (ohh yeah)

 Fuck the rest give me the best 

 Why should I have to settle for less

 When I could push the V-12's with finesse

 (scratching) and all that mess

 If you try to hold me back

 would I keep on strugling till I hit the sky.

 Even if you wanted to you can't deny

 Gotta feed babygirl who would die

 

 We keep talking about escalating

 Well who's gonna go first

 Guess I'll be the one to step up

 If you don't follow me it would be the worst

 Everytime something goes down

 Somebody's crying ghetto tears

 Hope I'm not raining on your parade

 But this is not what keeping it really is

 Now ain't that ghetto for ya

 But somehow it's gotta change yeahh!

 Ghetto for ya,

 So I took this remix and rearranged

 a gotham city

 

 [Chorus]

 

 Check it out

 Now motherfucka wanna act surprised

 'Cause you're afraid to change scared to rise

 That's why you ass get left behind

 They got a sight, they got a mind

 'Cause ain't nobody gonna stop the dream

 Talk that shit, block my cream

 Negativity you gotta let go

 Heaven gotta see for the ghetto

 

 We all need hey hey hey

 Gothamcity for the ghetto yeah

 Calling on heaven

 Send your love down, to the ghetto yeah

 Talking about a land where ohh yeah

 Where there will be no more crying,

 no more crying now oh yeah

 A place where we could all just get along yeah

 And children will sing ghetto love songs

 In a land where (city of love) 

 In a land where (for every one of us)
