Ghetto Mindstate (Can't Get Away) - Lil' Flip

New s***, Lil' Flip and Lyfe

Talk to 'em, Lyfe, yeah

Talk to 'em, Lyfe, yeah

I just can’t go, I just can’t stay

I just can’t, you just what?

I just can’t get away

I just can’t go, I just can’t stay

I just can’t, you just what?

I just can’t get away

Aye, at fifteen I was makin' moves

Drinkin beer, shootin' dice at school

When most n*** had a nine to five s***

On the block we makin' nine to five grand

Each day, yeah, we got cheap, yeah

My n*** on lock, they call me on three way

The hood hot like a crock pot

D*** fiends cuttin' yards for a twenty piece of c*** rock

Around my way, ain’t nobody watchin' Matlock

We tryna' hot wire cars and break pad locks

Turn soft to hard, drop it in Gladlock’s

And drive flashy cars and get mad props

And still I won’t change

Last week they caught my partner with a block of c***

And can’t no amount of money stop the pain

They gave him thirty-five years, his mama went insane

I just can’t go, I just can’t stay

I just can’t, you just what?

I just can’t get away

I just can’t go, I just can’t stay

I just can’t, you just what?

I just can’t get away

Comin' up with no father figure

I guess that made me a harder n***

'Cause I don’t like to ask for s***

When I came in the game with a half a b***

But I ain’t telling little kids to go that route

But it’s on TV everyday like they don’t know that route

And little girls bein' fast, bein' grown tryna' flirt

Leavin' home wearin' pants then change into a skirt

I live in the ghetto, I stay in the ghetto

Run up wrong, I’m s*** that metal

'Cause ain’t s*** sweet around my way

All I know is one thing, how to get paid

With Lyfe on the hook I know we got another hit

This motivational music I know you feelin' this, aye

And I was raised in the church

But where I’m from you gotta move that work

I just can’t go, I just can’t stay

I just can’t, you just what?

I just can’t get away

I just can’t go, I just can’t stay

I just can’t, you just what?

I just can’t get away

Why everybody tryna' bring me down

Because of me they respect H-Town

Look, I was here when y’all wasn’t around

The first week you did alright but then that s*** went down

Why everybody tryna' bring me down

Because of me they respect H-Town

Look, I was here when y’all wasn’t around

The first week you did alright but then that s*** went down

They tell you you was born to die

Your mama, she was born to cry

Your woman, she was born to lie

Hold you down so you can’t feel life

I tell you that it’s all a lie

Young n***, you just gotta try

Keep your eyes up on the sky

Don’t let your dreams pass you by 'cause somebody said
