Ghetto |
If your head is as big as Shamello’s |
If your bank is the check cashin place |
If you put on panty-hose instead of shavin your legs |
If you use grease that you used over and over again |
If you only go to church on Easter and holidays |
Then you ghetto, believe that |
Can you be rich and be ghetto? |
(Yep) |
And just cause you poor do that mean that you ghetto? |
(Nope) |
So people don’t understand what it mean to be ghetto |
And if you gonna ask then you probably never know |
Bein ghetto, it’s just the things we do sometimes |
Like hangin your clothes on the oven to dry |
But you late, you gotta go and they ain’t ready yet |
(You put 'em on anyway, and rock 'em halfway wet) |
First you wear then return everything you buy |
Always lookin for a discount 'til the day you die |
Got three kids, by three different guys |
(And all they names begin with La, Ta and Sha) |
You know you ghetto when you use a wrench for a channel changer |
No antenna, you gotta use a metal hanger |
Drink from the container and put it back in the fridge |
(Knowin damn well the shit was wrong you did) |
Put salt on your food, before you even taste it |
Get a doggy bag, ghetto niggas ain’t wastin shit |
You know you ghetto, no, you know you grimy |
(When you iron dirty pants 'til them shits get shiny) |
The ghetto’s not a place, it don’t matter what colour you are |
You can be white as chalk or as black as tar |
And it really don’t matter how much money you have |
(You can live on Fifth Ave. and be ghetto fab) |
You know you ghetto when your soap is the size of Chiclet |
Run into the kitchen wet for dishwashin liquid |
The water cold cause they shut off all your power |
(You know you ghetto if you pee in the shower) |
No toilet paper, somebody used the last you had |
No problem, just get a Daily News or a paper bag |
Ball it up and crumble it, make it soft in your ass |
(But when you flush, the toilet always gets stopped up) |
And if you got the money, the landlord never get it |
We never pay the rent, yo we almost got evicted |
If this shit is funny or offendin you |
(Chances are, it’s because you’re ghetto too) |
Can you be rich and be ghetto (3x) |
And if you gotta ask then you’ll probably never know |
Ghetto |
East Coast is the ghetto |
West Coast is the ghetto |
South Side is the ghetto |
Everywhere is the ghetto |
The ghetto |
The ghetto |
The ghetto |
I’ll probably die, in the ghetto. |
(Hey, I got to buy some weed man, you got anything?) |
Nah, I ain’t selling no weed over there man |
(Dude, please I drove all out here for an hour man) |
Yo, dog, I not selling no weed over alright man? |
Just spent ten years in jail man, back the f**k off me man |
You probably a cop (Nah, man I ain’t no cop man |
I listen to Snoop, I listen to Wu-Tang, Sticky Fingaz man |
I’m down with that s**t) How much you got? |
(I got like a hundred bucks on me man) |
Give me your f**king money man. |
Where’s your f**king wallet man |
