《The Ghetto》歌词

[00:03:42] Talking bout the ghetto funky funky ghetto

[00:03:42] Trying to survive, trying to stay alive

[00:03:42] The ghetto

[00:03:42] {Talking bout the ghetto}

[00:03:42] The ghetto

[00:03:42] The ghetto

[00:03:42] The ghetto

[00:03:42] {Funk funky ghetto}

[00:03:42] Even though the streets are bumpy, lights burned out

[00:03:42] D**e fiends die with a pipe in their mouths

[00:03:42] Old school buddies not doing it right

[00:03:42] Every day it's the same

[00:03:42] And it's the same every night

[00:03:42] I wouldn't shoot you bro but I'd shoot that fool

[00:03:42] If he played me close and tried to test my cool

[00:03:42] Every day I wonder just how I'll die

[00:03:42] Only thing I know is how to survive

[00:03:42] There's only one rule in the real world

[00:03:42] And that's to take care of you, only you and yours

[00:03:42] Keep dealing with the hard times day after day

[00:03:42] Might deal me some d**e but then crime don't pay

[00:03:42] Black man tried to break into my house again

[00:03:42] Thought he got off early doing time in the pen

[00:03:42] Even though my brothers do me just like that

[00:03:42] I get a lot of love so I'm giving it back to the

[00:03:42] The ghetto

[00:03:42] The ghetto

[00:03:42] So just peep the game and don't call it crap

[00:03:42] Cause to me, life is one hard rap

[00:03:42] Even though my sister smoked crack coc*ine

[00:03:42] She was nine months pregnant, ain't nothing changed

[00:03:42] 600 million on a footbal team

[00:03:42] And her baby dies just like a d**e fiend

[00:03:42] The story I tell is so incomplete

[00:03:42] Five kids in the house and no food to eat

[00:03:42] Don't look at me and don't ask me why

[00:03:42] Mama's next door getting high

[00:03:42] Even though she's got five mouths to feed

[00:03:42] She's rather spend her money on a H-I-T

[00:03:42] I always tell the truth about things like this

[00:03:42] I wonder if the mayor overlooked that list

[00:03:42] Instead of adding to the task force send some help

[00:03:42] Waiting on him I'd better help myself

[00:03:42] Housing Authority and the O.P.D.

[00:03:42] All these guns just to handle me in the

[00:03:42] The ghetto

[00:03:42] The ghetto

[00:03:42] Even though they put us down and call us animals

[00:03:42] We make real big banks and buy brand new clothes

[00:03:42] Drive fancy cars, make love to stars

[00:03:42] Never really saying just who we are

[00:03:42] We use alias names like TOOSHORT

[00:03:42] Sell you stuff you might kill for

[00:03:42] Young kids grow up and that's all they know

[00:03:42] Didn't teach him in school now he's slangin d**e

[00:03:42] Only thing he knows is how to survive

[00:03:42] But will he kill another brother before he dies?

[00:03:42] In the ghetto, you keep one eye open

[00:03:42] All day long, just hoping and hoping

[00:03:42] You can pay your bills and not drink too much

[00:03:42] Then the problems of life you'll be throwing up

[00:03:42] Like me, but you don't see

[00:03:42] Ten years from now, where will you be?

[00:03:42] The ghetto

[00:03:42] The ghetto

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

[00:03:42] Blacks can't be white and whites can't be black

[00:03:42] Why you wanna act like someone else?

[00:03:42] All you gotta do is just be yourself

[00:03:42] We're all the same color underneath

[00:03:42] Short Dog's in the house you'd better listen to me

[00:03:42] Never be ashamed of what you are

[00:03:42] Proud to be black stand tall at heart

[00:03:42] Even though some people give you no respect

[00:03:42] Be intelligent, when you put em in check

[00:03:42] Cause when you're ignorant, you get treated that way

[00:03:42] And when they throw you in jail you got nothing to say

[00:03:42] So if you don't listen it's not my fault

[00:03:42] I'll be getting paid while you'll be paying the cost

[00:03:42] Sitting in the jailhouse running your mouth

[00:03:42] While me and my peoples try to get out

[00:03:42] The ghetto

[00:03:42] The ghetto

[00:03:42] End
