Ghetto Story Chapter 3 (feat. Akon)

[Intro: Akon (Baby Cham)]
And this is my story (True ghetto story)
And this is my story (Real ghetto story, Hey!)

[Verse 1: Akon]
See I was born poor like many men and didn't have a thing
Came to America trying to make something out of nothing
You see, we Africans, we love hunting
Found my way to the top like it was nothing
And teamed up with some Puerto Ricans up in Jersey
We used to be called the Baldwin crew
Had it locked, we zoned it up to Union City
And a couple of projects in New York City

[Verse 2: Baby Cham]
I remember those days when Hell was my home
When me and Mama's bed was just a big piece of foam
And I never liked to bathe and my hair never combed
When Mama went to work, I roamed the streets alone
I remember when Danny took me for a snow cone
And made his little brothers kick up Jerome
I remember when we visited them with big stones
And the boy Danny pulled out something that was all chrome

[Verse 3: Akon]
But cats knew better than to mess with me
And they knew I kept the AK displayed around me
And I moved down to the A to find more cash
And I found out cars make more than we do

[Verse 4: Baby Cham]
I remember when we ran, Fatta got his knee blown
And my best friend Richie got two in the dome
I remember when the avenue turned into a warzone
And Mickey's mom flew him out, 'cause she got a loan
But Mickey went abroad and turned into Al Capone
Made a whole lot of money and sent it back home
Now we run the city and that’s well known
Yesterday Mickey called me on my phone
I said Mickey...

[Chorus: Baby Cham {Akon}]
We got the goods
They're out of luck now
I squeeze seven and they all duck down
We got a whole lot of extra clips 'cause we ain't broke now
(This is a survival story, True ghetto story)
Rah...Rah..Rah...Rah
We got the goods, so they gotta respect us
{And this is my story, Akon’s story}
'Cause we’ve been taking it to them hard lately
And now the whole community is living greatly
(This is a survival story, True ghetto story)
Rah...Rah..Rah...Rah

[Verse 5: Baby Cham]
I remember back in '80, Jamaica exploded
When Trinity and Tony Hewitt were running the roads
That was long before Laing and even Bigga Ford
When Adams was a Corporal, didn’t know the road code
I remember when we robbed the Chinese shop down the street
And rumors had it that the Chinese man had a sword
But we had a little pop gun made out of wood
So you know the next day Mama’s pot was overloaded

[Verse 6: Akon]
How could that be? Chop shops in the city called me the ring leader
Never thought I’d flee, somehow the cops still caught up with me
But then I got locked up, while we were shackled
Focused on getting out, then they let me go but
Two years later my brother Screw got shot up
And the whole block was royal like, now what?

[Verse 7: Baby Cham]
Jamaica got screwed, through greed and gluttony
Politics manipulate and press the youth's buttons
But we’re rich now, so they can’t tell us nothing
'Cause we’re making Mama eat fish and mutton..Ehhhh
Over there let me tell you something...
'Cause I’m here in the States now a guy killed my cousin
And I hear TD’s there but he says he wasn’t
Anytime I fly down, he gets about a dozen... 'Cause...

[Chorus: Baby Cham {Akon}]
We got the goods
They're out of luck now
I squeeze seven and they all duck down
We got a whole lot of extra clips 'cause we ain't broke now
(This is a survival story, True ghetto story)
Rah...Rah..Rah...Rah
We got the goods, so they gotta respect us
{And this is my story, Akon’s story}
'Cause we’ve been taking it to them hard lately
And now the whole community is living greatly
(This is a survival story, True ghetto story)
Rah...Rah..Rah...Rah
