Talking bout the ghetto funky funky ghetto[00:00:05]

Trying to survive, trying to stay alive[00:00:15]

The ghetto[00:00:20]

{Talking bout the ghetto}[00:00:27]

The ghetto[00:00:27]

The ghetto[00:00:30]

The ghetto[00:00:34]

{Funk funky ghetto}[00:00:36]

Even though the streets are bumpy, lights burned out[00:00:38]

Dope fiends die with a pipe in their mouths[00:00:42]

Old school buddies not doing it right[00:00:45]

Every day it's the same[00:00:47]

And it's the same every night[00:00:48]

I wouldn't shoot you bro but I'd shoot that fool[00:00:49]

If he played me close and tried to test my cool[00:00:52]

Every day I wonder just how I'll die[00:00:54]

Only thing I know is how to survive[00:00:56]

There's only one rule in the real world[00:00:59]

And that's to take care of you, only you and yours[00:01:01]

Keep dealing with the hard times day after day[00:01:04]

Might deal me some dope but then crime don't pay[00:01:06]

Black man tried to break into my house again[00:01:08]

Thought he got off early doing time in the pen[00:01:11]

Even though my brothers do me just like that[00:01:13]

I get a lot of love so I'm giving it back to the[00:01:16]

The ghetto[00:01:18]

The ghetto[00:01:28]

So just peep the game and don't call it crap[00:01:37]

Cause to me, life is one hard rap[00:01:40]

Even though my sister smoked crack cocaine[00:01:42]

She was nine months pregnant, ain't nothing changed[00:01:44]

600 million on a footbal team[00:01:47]

And her baby dies just like a dope fiend[00:01:49]

The story I tell is so incomplete[00:01:51]

Five kids in the house and no food to eat[00:01:54]

Don't look at me and don't ask me why[00:01:56]

Mama's next door getting high[00:01:59]

Even though she's got five mouths to feed[00:02:01]

She's rather spend her money on a H-I-T[00:02:03]

I always tell the truth about things like this[00:02:06]

I wonder if the mayor overlooked that list[00:02:08]

Instead of adding to the task force send some help[00:02:11]

Waiting on him I'd better help myself[00:02:13]

Housing Authority and the O.P.D.[00:02:15]

All these guns just to handle me in the[00:02:18]

The ghetto[00:02:20]

The ghetto[00:02:25]

Even though they put us down and call us animals[00:02:43]

We make real big banks and buy brand new clothes[00:02:46]

Drive fancy cars, make love to stars[00:02:49]

Never really saying just who we are[00:02:51]

We use alias names like TOOSHORT[00:02:54]

Sell you stuff you might kill for[00:02:57]

Young kids grow up and that's all they know[00:02:59]

Didn't teach him in school now he's slangin dope[00:03:01]

Only thing he knows is how to survive[00:03:04]

But will he kill another brother before he dies?[00:03:06]

In the ghetto, you keep one eye open[00:03:08]

All day long, just hoping and hoping[00:03:11]

You can pay your bills and not drink too much[00:03:13]

Then the problems of life you'll be throwing up[00:03:15]

Like me, but you don't see[00:03:18]

Ten years from now, where will you be?[00:03:20]

The ghetto[00:03:23]

The ghetto[00:03:28]

So much game in a Too rap[00:03:42]

Blacks can't be white and whites can't be black[00:03:45]

Why you wanna act like someone else?[00:03:47]

All you gotta do is just be yourself[00:03:49]

We're all the same color underneath[00:03:52]

Short Dog's in the house you'd better listen to me[00:03:54]

Never be ashamed of what you are[00:03:56]

Proud to be black stand tall at heart[00:03:59]

Even though some people give you no respect[00:04:01]

Be intelligent, when you put em in check[00:04:03]

Cause when you're ignorant, you get treated that way[00:04:06]

And when they throw you in jail you got nothing to say[00:04:08]

So if you don't listen it's not my fault[00:04:11]

I'll be getting paid while you'll be paying the cost[00:04:13]

Sitting in the jailhouse running your mouth[00:04:16]

While me and my peoples try to get out[00:04:18]

The ghetto[00:04:20]

The ghetto[00:04:25]

End[00:04:35]
