《The Ghetto(Reprise)》歌词

[00:00:01] The Ghetto - Too $hort

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

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

[00:00:21] The ghetto

[00:00:26] The ghetto

[00:00:27] Talking bout the ghetto

[00:00:30] The ghetto

[00:00:35] The ghetto

[00:00:37] Funk funky ghetto

[00:00:39] Even though the streets are bumpy lights burned out

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:57] Only thing I know is how to survive

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

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

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

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

[00:01:09] Black man tried to break into my house again

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

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

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

[00:01:19] The ghetto

[00:01:23] The ghetto

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:52] The story I tell is so incomplete

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

[00:01:57] Don't look at me and don't ask me why

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

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

[00:02:04] She's rather spend her money on a H-I-T

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

[00:02:09] I wonder if the mayor overlooked that list

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

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

[00:02:16] Housing Authority and the O P D

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

[00:02:21] The ghetto

[00:02:21] The ghetto

[00:02:44] Even though they put us down and call us animals

[00:02:47] We make real big banks and buy brand new clothes

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

[00:02:52] Never really saying just who we are

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

[00:02:56] Sell you stuff you might kill for

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:16] Then the problems of life you'll be throwing up

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

[00:03:21] Ten years from now where will you be

[00:03:23] The ghetto

[00:03:28] The ghetto

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:57] Never be ashamed of what you are

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:04:20] The ghetto

[00:04:25] The ghetto

[00:04:40] End
