The Ghetto Matrix by Bez & Gareefa

{Bez}
*You know we all have dreams, no matter how big or small they are there always near us and in our souls.  Yet theres always
people and places that wont allow you to capture you dreams and turn them into reality, thats the Ghetto Matrix to me, a fake
place, a place that don't exist in reality, but it exists in our sleep, exists along side dreams, and tries to stop us from reachin
our dreams and our goals in life.  Thats the Ghetto Matrix to me, a run down slum, full of hope but no action.  Dam*  

{Hook}
A place you can be what you wanna be,
In our minds we only see reality,
We can't change the future, if we can't bare to face it,
We all liven life, stuck in the Ghetto Matrix,

{Bez}
Can't beat a brother down, if you can't find him,
My life is like a mountain I'm continually climbin,
Find peace of mind with my writin and rhymin,
Gunna make it big or I'm guna die tryin,
Cos Lord knows I was born, just to be the best,
Overcome every battle like it was a no contest,
Yet lifes so full of stress, cant escape the fear,
My sucess will be down to the fact I don't wanna be here,
Sometimes I just feel like, stealin a kids bike,
And ridin and ridin til I reach the moonlight,
Wasn't taught the difference between what was wrong and right,
I see so many people caught up on the same flight,
On the bus thinkin, if I could be winnin,
And I could actually write for a livin,
But who am I kiddin, I just wanna be rich,
But as the old saying go's ain't life a bitch,
Still only 17 years old, but lifes turnin sour,
I be walkin round screamin, I got the power,
But I dont got shit, I'm just tryin to make it,
We all got are dreams, but they trapped inside the Matrix,
Ghetto Matrix,

{Bez}
I hate sleepin, I hate cos I always end up dreamin,
Trapped in this life that I dont wanna be in,
Tryin to educate myself to get out this place,
But I'm stuck in the land that full of hate and waste,
It aint possible to become famous in the Matrix,
Every word that you speak turns out to be racist,
Soul trapped in the computer, heart full of bytes,
De Jar Vu, shits clitchin, seein shit twice,
Everyone wants to escape but to them this is reality,
Another world to them my friend is just imaginary,
Nothing can save you from this horrible insanity,
Can't escape the game, its like I'm stuck in jumanji,
Be free, see the world from a brand new dream,
Live a life that you want to lead,
You think thats air that you always breath,
Fuck God that I was conceived,
My dreams always out of reach, got rules that I cannot breach,
I got no tricks up my sleeves, I'm startin to doubt, startin to not belive,
Programmed this way, every word don't make no sense,
More scared than Neo when he failed the jump test,
What was the point of birth, our we living on Earth,
Was I born into the world without a care but a curse,
Cos I can't figure it out, I'm gettin no where I hate this,
Trapped with my people, locked up in the Matrix,

{Bez}
Walk the streets with you people, all in the same position,
All trapped in there sleep, dreamin of a better livin,
But as soon as they about the realise their dreams,
They end up in the Ghetto Matrix, or so it seems,
Maybe this place ain't real, but stuck in our minds,
To protect us from us, so we don't destory our own lives,
A great barrier wall, a blocking of all action,
All movements that could make all our dreams happen,
Determined to get there, you will break through,
No belif in yourself then what you gun do,
My theory is we call it liven but really where dying,
Every second is precious, everyday is timeless,
So make what you can of life, try not to dream,
Just make shit happen, its down to you to belive,
I'm still trapped, in the Matrix, searchin for my gate,
The only place where I'm safe is for me is awake,
The Ghetto Matrix,

The ghetto matrix, we stuck in this place, even if we hate it
its round and round, days turn into weeks, weeks to months, then to years
i see it with my eyes, hear with my ears, and it all confirms my worst fears
a silhouette appears before me and i bet its the years of disrespect ready to haunt me
i break my neck and everything in-between for people to want me
im sixteen, tryiin to stay clean and off the smack
but temptaion takes over ya whole body, and you'll never get it back
192 months of my life gone in the blink of an eye
and no matter how hard i try, i just cant die
so i decide to try and live the dream, break the trend
no-one will ever know what i mean, but i'd love to be them
i see them walking, on the other side of the matrix
its like im going to break into a blitz
a frenzy of emotion, split between my head and heart
its the devotion thats turned me to this, where do i start?
i was born to succeed, and leave huge shoes to fill
but do i want that when the legacy could be filled by someone who kills
someone who wants to deface me
then i sit and relaise, no one will ever replace me
i think, one day.. ima blow up and hit the big time
until then.. me and bez we jus spit the little rhyme


{Bez}
*You can do anything, you dream, you will encounter the Ghetto Matrix, you gotta belive and be strong and you will realise you dreams and pass through the Ghetto Matrix.  Be what you wanna, be who you wanna, But dont dream.  Cos the world aint what it seems*
