[00:21.12]The ghetto
[00:27.15]（Talking bout the ghetto）
[00:30.56]The ghetto
[00:36.69](Funk funky ghetto)
[00:39.54]Even though the streets are bumpy, lights burned out
[00:42.79]**** fiends die with a pipe in their mouths
[00:45.18]Old school buddies not doing it right
[00:47.35]Every day it's the same
[00:48.40]And it's the same every night
[00:49.66]I wouldn't shoot you bro but I'd shoot that fool
[00:52.10]If he played me close and tried to test my cool
[00:54.60]Every day I wonder just how I'll die
[00:56.95]Only thing I know is how to survive
[00:59.50]There's only one rule in the real world
[01:01.74]And that's to take care of you, only you and yours
[01:04.18]Keep dealing with the hard times day after day
[01:06.58]Might deal me some **** but then crime don't pay
[01:09.03]Black man tried to break into my house again
[01:11.28]Thought he got off early doing time in the pen
[01:13.88]Even though my brothers do me just like that
[01:16.23]I get a lot of love so I'm giving it back to the
[01:18.55]The ghetto
[01:20.04]（Talking bout the ghetto）

[01:30.10]（Try live a life）
[01:34.30]The ghetto
[01:35.08]（Would tell about it TooShort）
[01:37.55]So just peep the game and don't call it crap
[01:40.07]Cause to me, life is one hard rap
[01:42.50]Even though my sister smoked crack *******
[01:44.90]She was nine months pregnant, ain't nothing changed
[01:47.50]600 million on a footbal team
[01:49.65]And her baby dies just like a **** fiend
[01:52.27]The story I tell is so incomplete
[01:54.56]Five kids in the house and no food to eat
[01:56.95]Don't look at me and don't ask me why
[01:59.46]Mama's next door getting high
[02:01.71]Even though she's got five mouths to feed
[02:04.16]She's rather spend her money on a H-I-T
[02:06.60]I always tell the truth about things like this
[02:09.01]I wonder if the mayor overlooked that list
[02:11.30]Instead of adding to the task force send some help
[02:13.83]Waiting on him I'd better help myself
[02:16.24]Housing Authority and the O.P.D.
[02:18.65]All these guns just to handle me in the
[02:21.06]The ghetto
[02:22.89](People all dying)
[02:25.62]The ghetto
[02:27.58](Children all Crying)

[02:32.30](Soon had you lost your will)
[02:35.27]The ghetto
[02:36.68](Do we have choose or death)
[02:40.03]The ghetto
[02:44.28]Even though they put us down and call us animals
[02:47.09]We make real big banks and buy brand new clothes
[02:49.50]Drive fancy cars, make love to stars
[02:52.19]Never really saying just who we are
[02:54.56]
[02:57.06]Sell you stuff you might kill for
[02:59.48]Young kids grow up and that's all they know
[03:01.64]Didn't teach him in school now he's slangin ****
[03:04.13]Only thing he knows is how to survive
[03:06.34]But will he kill another brother before he dies?
[03:08.75]In the ghetto, you keep one eye open
[03:11.36]All day long, just hoping and hoping
[03:13.62]You can pay your bills and not drink too much
[03:16.11]Then the problems of life you'll be throwing up
[03:18.38]Like me, but you don't see
[03:20.75]Ten years from now, where will you be?

[03:35.98]（Try to survive in hell of ghetto）
[03:38.72]The ghetto
[03:40.60]（Cuz that's only place that I know）
[03:43.75]So much game in a Too rap
[03:46.03]Blacks can't be white and whites can't be black
[03:48.48]Why you wanna act like someone else?
[03:50.86]All you gotta do is just be yourself
[03:53.24]We're all the same color underneath
[03:55.38]Short Dog's in the house you'd better listen to me
[03:58.10]Never be ashamed of what you are
[04:00.45]Proud to be black stand tall at heart
[04:02.84]Even though some people give you no respect
[04:05.16]Be intelligent, when you put em in check
[04:07.52]Cause when you're ignorant, you get treated that way
[04:09.83]And when they throw you in jail you got nothing to say
[04:12.42]So if you don't listen it's not my fault
[04:14.90]I'll be getting paid while you'll be paying the cost
[04:17.37]Sitting in the jailhouse running your mouth
[04:19.71]While me and my peoples try to get out
[04:21.97]The ghetto
