  • Talking bout the ghetto...funky funky ghetto
  • Trying to survive, trying to stay alive
  • Chorus:
  • The ghetto
  • The ghetto
  • (talking bout 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 its the same
  • And its the same every night
  • I wouldnt shoot you bro but Id shoot that fool
  • If he played me close and tried to test my cool
  • Every day I wonder just how Ill die
  • Only thing I know is how to survive
  • Theres only one rule in the real world
  • And thats 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 dont 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 Im giving it back to the...
  • Chorus
  • So just peep the game and dont call it crap
  • Cause to me, life is one hard rap
  • Even though my sister smoked crack cocaine
  • She was nine months pregnant, aint 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
  • Dont look at me and dont ask me why
  • Mamas next door getting high
  • Even though shes got five mouths to feed
  • Shes 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 Id better help myself
  • Housing authority and the o.p.d.
  • All these guns just to handle me in the...
  • Chorus
  • 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 too $hort
  • Sell you stuff you might kill for
  • Young kids grow up and thats all they know
  • Didnt teach him in school now hes 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 youll be throwing up
  • Like me, but you dont see
  • Ten years from now, where will you be?
  • Chorus
  • So much game in a too $hort rap
  • Blacks cant be white and whites cant be black
  • Why you wanna act like someone else?
  • All you gotta do is just be yourself
  • Were all the same color underneath
  • Short dogs in the house youd 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 youre ignorant, you get treated that way
  • And when they throw you in jail you got nothing to say
  • So if you dont listen its not my fault
  • Ill be getting paid while youll be paying the cost
  • Sitting in the jailhouse running your mouth
  • While me and my peoples try to get out
  • Chorus
