Money in the Ghetto - Too $hort[00:00:00]

In the ghetto[00:00:09]

You think life is hard[00:00:10]

Food stamps and to' up cars[00:00:12]

Wall to wall dirty orange carpet[00:00:14]

Sitting in a bucket[00:00:17]

Hoping you can start it[00:00:18]

And ride around to the liquor store[00:00:19]

Can't get a job get drunk some more[00:00:21]

You betta stop tripping on dem stereotypes[00:00:23]

'Cause in the ghetto there's a good life[00:00:26]

We ain't starving like Marvin[00:00:28]

Won't see no roach[00:00:29]

When you chill wit the rich[00:00:31]

Folks in the hood[00:00:32]

You're sitting on leather[00:00:33]

Watching big screens[00:00:34]

Bought by the d**e fiends[00:00:36]

Smoking and what about the[00:00:37]

Brother wit the good jobs[00:00:39]

Saving money and working hard[00:00:40]

Bought a house for his wife and kids[00:00:42]

You only got one life to live[00:00:45]

Another brother got some coc*ine[00:00:47]

You know his face[00:00:49]

But don't know his name[00:00:50]

You know he got the sack mayn[00:00:52]

And he's sitting on a fat bank[00:00:54]

Seven cars at his house in the driveway[00:00:56]

Benz so clean don't roll it just fly away[00:00:58]

'Cause folks got money in the[00:01:01]

Ghetto yeah you know[00:01:03]

Hey hey hey whatcha got to say[00:01:06]

There's money in the ghetto[00:01:14]

Hollywood[00:01:15]

Having money in the ghetto[00:01:19]

Money in the ghetto ain't nothing new[00:01:24]

It's been like that[00:01:26]

Way before you[00:01:27]

Was even born[00:01:28]

Get up from the down stroke[00:01:29]

Chocolate City for the black folks[00:01:31]

Say it loud in you hot pants[00:01:34]

Man child in the promised land[00:01:36]

I take you back to Iceberg Slim[00:01:38]

And all the players that came before him[00:01:41]

If you a everyday hustler[00:01:42]

Get your money[00:01:44]

'Cause what they do to[00:01:45]

Black man ain't funny[00:01:46]

All the time trying to put us the pen[00:01:48]

You get paroled and[00:01:50]

Then they send you again[00:01:51]

All the homies in the hood getting paid[00:01:52]

You might have left but the money stayed[00:01:54]

In the ghetto[00:01:56]

It ain't all about drugs[00:01:57]

Getting paid doing all kinds of stuff[00:01:59]

Only rule on the streets is don't get caught[00:02:01]

Unless your hustle ain't breaking the law[00:02:04]

And even though rich folks got it good[00:02:06]

We sitting on 'em fat in the hood[00:02:09]

I'm riding on some gold ones[00:02:11]

Smoking dank and it's potent[00:02:13]

Ask them fools[00:02:15]

'Cause they know[00:02:17]

There's money in the ghetto[00:02:19]

Hey hey hey whatcha got to say[00:02:20]

There's money in the ghetto[00:02:28]

Hollywood[00:02:29]

Having money in the ghetto[00:02:33]

I got money baby[00:02:38]

Just tell me the price[00:02:39]

'Cause Short Dog ain't nutting nice[00:02:41]

I always hit the town[00:02:43]

Wit my boy Ben Frankling[00:02:44]

Spend fo'[00:02:46]

Get an ounce of dank then[00:02:47]

Rich ni**a get high relaxing[00:02:48]

If I bust a Ben Frank' get[00:02:50]

Some Andrew Jacksons[00:02:51]

Five twenties for a hundred dollar bill[00:02:53]

You know the math[00:02:55]

Let's make a deal[00:02:56]

On the one dollar bill[00:02:57]

If you look on the front[00:02:58]

You find the face of George Washington[00:02:59]

Make money baby[00:03:02]

That's all I do[00:03:03]

That's how I know Thomas[00:03:04]

Jefferson is on the two[00:03:05]

Abraham Lincoln got shot and died[00:03:06]

Freed the slaves[00:03:09]

So they put him on the five[00:03:10]

And Hamilton[00:03:11]

My old time friend[00:03:12]

They put his face on the front of the ten[00:03:14]

These are the dead presidents[00:03:16]

From the hood and they represent[00:03:18]

The American dream[00:03:20]

For the average minority[00:03:21]

Make your money get some w**d and a forty[00:03:23]

I'm on the Eastside living like a king[00:03:25]

Kick back watching fifty inch screens[00:03:28]

Bounce to the Westside[00:03:30]

Hit the studio[00:03:31]

And spend my money in the ghetto[00:03:33]

Hey hey hey whatcha got to say[00:03:35]

They got money in the ghetto[00:03:42]

Hollywood[00:03:43]

Having money in the ghetto[00:03:48]

Nowadays if you can't say a rap[00:04:11]

Or play sports[00:04:13]

You might just come up short[00:04:15]

And they always say the same things[00:04:17]

Don't be a gangster or a dopefiend[00:04:19]

Get your high school diploma[00:04:21]

Go to college[00:04:22]

Get a degree and start making dollars[00:04:24]

Only one thing wrong[00:04:25]

And it's a trip[00:04:27]

Inner city schools don't teach us sh*t[00:04:28]

Got us stuck on stupid[00:04:30]

Straight S O S[00:04:31]

Can't get nothing[00:04:33]

But they paying the rest of them fools[00:04:34]

All around the world in the other countries[00:04:36]

They should be spending[00:04:38]

That money right here[00:04:39]

In the state of California[00:04:40]

You graduate and can't spell diploma[00:04:42]

Dip to the hood and get rich[00:04:45]

Slanging rocks to a smoked out b**ch[00:04:47]

No school'll come close to that[00:04:49]

A few transaction make my pockets fat[00:04:51]

I make a lot of money[00:04:54]

And it ain't no lie[00:04:55]

I'll probably ball til the day I die[00:04:56]

And if I didn't so what[00:04:58]

I bet you I'd still come up[00:05:01]

'Cause there's a whole lot of[00:05:03]

Money in the ghetto yeah you know[00:05:04]
