They say I’m a ghetto man, they call me a ghetto bastard
They say I’m a dope dealer, they say I’m a money snatcher
They call me a ghetto thug, I’m livin the ghetto life
I’m stuck with my ghetto kids, so I married a ghetto wife
I got no education, I’m workin the ghetto job
I live on the ghetto streets, so I run with the ghetto mob
They give me a ghetto check, three dollars that’s no respect
Not enough to survive, so I break me a ghetto neck
I pop me a ghetto shot, down on the ghetto block
Front page of the newspaper, fiend dies over ghetto rock
I’m tired of the ghetto noise, ghetto girls ghetto boys
Hand me a shotgun, cause them are my ghetto toys
This ghetto mentality, I live in a ghetto town
Bang to the boogie boom, lets fight to our ghetto sound
They taught me the tricks and trades, I’m stuck in my ghetto ways
That’s why hypocrites are all sayin these are the ghetto days
I ? ? to a ghetto rock, I’m stopped by a ghetto cop
A young girl get pregnant, cause she was brought ghetto hot
I roll with the ghetto game, I’m kickin the ghetto slang
They gave me a ghetto name, cause it’s a ghetto thang

Chorus: (repeat 4x)

And the ghetto is no joke
They got me thinkin, how can a brother get away

They say I’m a ghetto crook, I’m kickin the ghetto game
Ghetto babies die, damn that’s a ghetto shame
Back to the ghetto days, and backed to the ghetto nights
Back to the ghetto lives, and back to the ghetto fights
Back to the ghetto ladies, and back to the ghetto men
Back to the ghetto churches , and back to the ghetto sins
Yes that’s a ghetto thing, hit with a ghetto swing
If you don’t know why I say it, than ask mr rodney king
Cause down in los angeles, the ghetto is scandalous
Than uncle toms, even they can’t handle this
I go to a ghetto school, I’m keepin it ghetto cool
I pack me a ghetto tool, gonna kill me a ghetto fool
I walk on a ghetto floor, I shop at a ghetto store
How can I pay more, I can’t afford it, I’m ghetto poor
I snort me some ghetto caine, it messed up my ghetto veins
But I don’t even know why, (why? ) cause it’s a ghetto thang

Chorus

I walk in the ghetto rain, my ghetto ? ? ? gone insane
I need the ghetto bang, so I cop me some nightrain
I’m down with my ghetto crime, I’m doin my ghetto time
It got me goin crazy, I’m out of my ghetto mind
I heard me a ghetto blast, straight to his ghetto head
Look in the newspaper, backstabber is ghetto dead
This is the ghetto scene, but still I don’t understand
That’s the way it is, when you dealin with a ghetto man

Chorus
