[Intro]Darkness falls when the cold air hits the ghetto streetsMany are called by few are chosenWho's to say that when life will deal you the deck of cardsWill you have on your poker face?[Beanie Sigel]The hood is desolateBlock dark as it's ever beenYoung and strong off rock and tying the heroinAnd when they fix ain't around larceny settles inThat's when the ground opens up and coffins shuffled inAin't nobody getting moneyThey just getting byTrying to suppress their poverty by getting highSome search the bottle for what they can't find in GodAn empty stomach and a gun equals homicideSome take the day in stride, praying that the night will changeGrandma searching for the answers in her Bible pageAin't nothing worse on a ears than a crying motherSeeing her baby dying, stretched in a ghetto gutterMurders ruled out they say it's self suicideSmoking dicks drying to drift to the other sideThey say he's in a better place where he'll feel no painYou'll soon know the truth when they dig your grave[Hook]Out my window I see poverty (out my window)Youth is dying, feels like death just follows meI see povertyMost folks chase a high to escape reality in the ghetto (just follows me)I this ghetto, oooh, whoooa...Whooo[Beanie Sigel]This fucking recession got everybody stuck brokeThis shit depressing, everybody cut-throatIf you ain't spending 45 large on the whole jointYou're forced to buy 9 hard compressed from a small pointThe hood drearyNeighbours look wearyAt the young bucks who just pop pills or smoke airyShits scaryTo niggas with one package on one corner going to war with one ratchetThe young bucks catch casesRamming on their aftersBurn the connectLet their man jam them for the packageHustling backwardsAll they want is sneaker moneyA Breitling and a Grand MarquiseA fresh pair of trees and some V-neck Ts... they done with a gun and squeezeTil the cops box them inCaught him with a Glock and tenNow they on state roll, cold locking inCalling home every chance he getTalking shitMaking when I get home threatsThe block moves onYoung buck the street don't stopNiggas selling whipped up rockThe fiends won't copTry to switch they hustle to weed, the tree won't popThere's just more of it, this shit don't endI seen niggas lose they life playing dice and skinThey'll get the same money overLose it twice againThere's a war going on outside nobody's safe fromYou either make a way or take oneYeah, I just know what I knowThe ghetto[Hook]Out my window I see poverty (out my window)Youth is dying, feels like death just follows meI see povertyMost folks chase a high to escape reality in the ghetto (just follows me)I this ghetto, oooh, whoooa...WhoooOut my window I see poverty (out my window)Youth is dying, feels like death just follows meI see povertyMost folks chase a high to escape reality in the ghetto (just follows me)I this ghetto, oooh, whoooa...Whooo
