A Product Of The Ghetto

FATAL NYGHTMARE · Dec 7, 2003

she wuz only fifteen, giving birth to a son
life spiraled down hill, but wut hurt wuz the drugs
wut wuz hers wuz the love, but that only goes so deep
so she'll weep as she lies in bed, tryna hold her seed
and for a brief instant it seems that things wont be so bad
but both parties didnt realize that this child needs a dad
cuz the man that planted the seed is hooked on them drugs
living life on the edge, just one push and he'll plunge
they're already in too deep, with no means to support a child
mother also hooked on drugs, the kid'll grow up more than wild
but they tried to maintain, plan to get a job and not blow it
but it wuznt too long before all of them were homeless
& by that time they had 2 kids, another lesson to take
they were best to just wait, man that's their second mistake
now her family's backin out, they want nothin to do with it
and his family's out too, it aint their fault that fool hit it
in due time the parents split, all the kids with the father
living in the ghetto streets with a son and now 2 daughters
people figured they were doomed, so fuck it, why help?
the oldest child is growing up, man im talking bout myself

..............

by the age of thirteen i wuz already running the streets
in a hood where fools dont blink to leave you dumped in a creek
looking for sumthing to keep, i joined an elite group of heads
backed up by fools who dont fight, they get to shootin instead
it aint no joke in the streets, you dont get provoked with the heat
i already knew that losing a battle would mean more than defeat
you get scorched on the scene, growin up thats wut i wuz taught
you either die by doing nothing or stay alive by bustin a glock
so wut the fuck, bust a shot, the thoughts that went thru my mind
i had no family there to comfort and make me feel special at times
im wrecked so im like, fuck it, ima do wut the fuck i wanna do
thinkin of crushin and gunnin fools, get to clutchin anotha tool
but i tried to reconsider, get my life on track and peak a winner
realizing the heat's for sinners, as im tryna teach beginners
but my rebirth wuz doomed from the start, cuz soon i would spark
i tried to bring in love, but the hate allowed no room in my heart
hatred filled my emotions as i lost my boys to the beef & funk
thinking i would speak & dump, as i loaded up the heat in trunks
my life is ripped up, im gettin hit like deadly spears thrown
already taken major losses, and im only at twenty years old

..............

this is my life folks.... nothing made up, no bullshit in this piece. it's not done but i thought i'd share it anyway. if you dont like it, cool, if you do, cool. but please leave the hate out.

i know wut you're saying tadou.... and maybe in time i will get to work on a little album. right now is not a good time though, there's certain things in my life that need to be straightened out before i do anything besides work and stay alive. given a little time, i might end up finding sumone with the right equipment or i may even end up buying my own.... if not for my use, then for other people's use. i know a lot of heads who can seriously rap, but they have no means to do so. of course i'd be charging their asses LOL. i'll have to wait and see how things shape up in the next few months....

anyway, thanks for the feedback, both of you.

FATAL NYGHTMARE · Dec 9, 2003

damn, nobody likes to respond anymore huh? anybody got any more feedback??

Jason_Haft · Dec 9, 2003

only thing i don't like is the title..

the same thing happens in the suburbs..

but hey.. this is meaningful to you so i won't comment on the content..

but maybe you should write this in order..

first verse seems like it should be in the middle of the second verse..

know what i mean?

peace.

FATAL NYGHTMARE · Dec 9, 2003

nah it's going in sequence. in the first verse i never said it wuz me till the end, which is why it's the first verse. but the title suits it well, bcuz nobody is gonna be forced into a gang life in the suburbs. the family thing probably does occur there though, so i can see wut you're trying to say. thanks for the feedback.

Some people don't have the priviledge of moving away from all they know and usually when they can afford to move away, it's in another place with the same problems.

it's a decision that is heavily pressured depending on the exact area you grow up in. in my case, i had no family to depend on so i looked elsewhere. each individual gang member has his own reasons, but when you live in the area i grew up in you either fight off enemiez on your own or you look for people who will have your back. my city is not big, in fact it is pretty small, but you'd be surprised how crazy it gets in that hood. everybody has sumthing to prove.

money is a big issue when your parents are drug addicts. the only thing that wuz paid for wuz the rent, other than that their money went straight to drugs. we didnt even have food 75% of the time. i survived off the homeboyz, and a gang is sorta like a family. you show love you get love in return.

i know it's hard for most people to believe, but gangs are not truly wut the media makes them out to be. and when i said "forced into a gang life" i didnt mean you're forced to join a gang.... when you live in an area run by gangs, you're forced into their lifestyle whether you like it or not. you may not run with them, but you're living by their rules and if you break them it's the same consequences as an enemy receives. hope that clearz sum shit up.

i wish i had my mother to thank.... for anything. she hasnt done shit for me except deliver me in '83. other than that, i have nothing to thank her for. same goes for my father.

that's very true, but when you're a child or a young teenager you dont have any say in how you live. you live with whoever is taking care of you, and they are the ones who make those kind of decisions.

it also depends on the opportunities you are given. at 12 and 13 i didnt have the opportunity to work and provide for myself, i wuz too young. so wut it boils down to is wut your parents are and aren't willing to do, and wut they are or aren't willing to give up. to this day my father is still hooked on the same shit he wuz when i wuz born. that fool is living in barns as we type this shit to eachother. he just got out of prison about 4 months ago, and that shit obviously did nothing for him. my point is, you never really know exactly how hard it is to avoid gangs until you've lived the life i have. a lot of people dont get that and they refuse to really think about it.

i thought it was gonna start out on a brendas got a baby kick until i kept reading. can't go wrong when you put your life out there and the situation is real you know? i know it would be a million times better if i heard it, but the way i was reading it, was difficult to get the rhyme scheme you dig? good shit tho aye

and to add to the gang subject, it's not a forced thing to join a gang, but when your family isn't there for you, it's certainly easy to follow the lifestyle of homeboys who will be there for you no matter what. If you haven't lived the lifestyle, don't try to understand it, because you won't. the other major thing is, when you have family that are deep into gang shit, you are gonna follow in their footsteps just like if your daddy was in the military, you likely gonna join too you dig?
