  • Talking bout the ghetto funky funky ghetto
  • Trying to survive, trying to stay alive
  • The ghetto
  • {Talking bout the ghetto}
  • The ghetto
  • The ghetto
  • The ghetto
  • {Funk funky ghetto}
  • Even though the streets are bumpy, lights burned out
  • Dope fiends die with a pipe in their mouths
  • Old school buddies not doing it right
  • Every day it's the same
  • And it's the same every night
  • I wouldn't shoot you bro but I'd shoot that fool
  • If he played me close and tried to test my cool
  • Every day I wonder just how I'll die
  • Only thing I know is how to survive
  • There's only one rule in the real world
  • And that's to take care of you, only you and yours
  • Keep dealing with the hard times day after day
  • Might deal me some dope but then crime don't pay
  • Black man tried to break into my house again
  • Thought he got off early doing time in the pen
  • Even though my brothers do me just like that
  • I get a lot of love so I'm giving it back to the
  • The ghetto
  • The ghetto
  • So just peep the game and don't call it crap
  • Cause to me, life is one hard rap
  • Even though my sister smoked crack cocaine
  • She was nine months pregnant, ain't nothing changed
  • 600 million on a footbal team
  • And her baby dies just like a dope fiend
  • The story I tell is so incomplete
  • Five kids in the house and no food to eat
  • Don't look at me and don't ask me why
  • Mama's next door getting high
  • Even though she's got five mouths to feed
  • She's rather spend her money on a H-I-T
  • I always tell the truth about things like this
  • I wonder if the mayor overlooked that list
  • Instead of adding to the task force send some help
  • Waiting on him I'd better help myself
  • Housing Authority and the O.P.D.
  • All these guns just to handle me in the
  • The ghetto
  • The ghetto
  • Even though they put us down and call us animals
  • We make real big banks and buy brand new clothes
  • Drive fancy cars, make love to stars
  • Never really saying just who we are
  • We use alias names like TOOSHORT
  • Sell you stuff you might kill for
  • Young kids grow up and that's all they know
  • Didn't teach him in school now he's slangin dope
  • Only thing he knows is how to survive
  • But will he kill another brother before he dies?
  • In the ghetto, you keep one eye open
  • All day long, just hoping and hoping
  • You can pay your bills and not drink too much
  • Then the problems of life you'll be throwing up
  • Like me, but you don't see
  • Ten years from now, where will you be?
  • The ghetto
  • The ghetto
  • So much game in a Too rap
  • Blacks can't be white and whites can't be black
  • Why you wanna act like someone else?
  • All you gotta do is just be yourself
  • We're all the same color underneath
  • Short Dog's in the house you'd better listen to me
  • Never be ashamed of what you are
  • Proud to be black stand tall at heart
  • Even though some people give you no respect
  • Be intelligent, when you put em in check
  • Cause when you're ignorant, you get treated that way
  • And when they throw you in jail you got nothing to say
  • So if you don't listen it's not my fault
  • I'll be getting paid while you'll be paying the cost
  • Sitting in the jailhouse running your mouth
  • While me and my peoples try to get out
  • The ghetto
  • The ghetto
  • End
