Ghetto
Skating down the blvd
Top down looking hard
Hair blowing in the wind
Took the the whip for a spin
Contemplating what to do
Text message coming through
Running errands
Drive thru's
Smashing streets
Pulling news
Hustle game on lock
Eyes peeled on the watch
Bending corners, circle block
Next man is on the clock
All day all night
Avoiding all black & whites
No time for loosey goosey
Take this nod and these deuces
Ghetto, ghetto, ghetto
Ghetto ghetto ghetto
Ghetto ghetto ghetto
Ghetto ghetto ghetto
Older couple on the porch
Blunt smokers with the torch
Corner store, grabbing snacks
Peeping fams mean rap
Boos in a paper bag
Cracking at her, cause she bad
Soldiers with the bean pies
Spreading news, bow ties
G's in da Cadillac's
Curbside, in tact
Mama's in the laundry mat
Wash and fold, after that
Praying for the next meal
Check to check
Deal to deal
Rob Peter, pay Paul
Shop lifting at the mall
Ghetto ghetto ghetto
Ghetto ghetto ghetto
Ghetto ghetto ghetto
Ghetto ghetto ghetto
Struggle, wrestle, hustle, bustle
Crying, dying, lying, spying
Praying, asking, tired of trying
People, jobs, trying times
Causing ruckus, endless crime
Pushing forward, watching back
Politics, black on black
Kids forced to grow fast
Gangsters holding down da block
Po Po's, none stop
On the go, toe to toe
Rules to hoods flow
Welfare, cancelled checks
Knowing how the show goes
The only key to the city is
Surviving in the ghetto
Ghetto Ghetto Ghetto
Ghetto ghetto ghetto
Ghetto ghetto ghetto
Ghetto ghetto ghetto
Top down looking hard
Hair blowing in the wind
Took the the whip for a spin
Contemplating what to do
Text message coming through
Running errands
Drive thru's
Smashing streets
Pulling news
Hustle game on lock
Eyes peeled on the watch
Bending corners, circle block
Next man is on the clock
All day all night
Avoiding all black & whites
No time for loosey goosey
Take this nod and these deuces
Ghetto, ghetto, ghetto
Ghetto ghetto ghetto
Ghetto ghetto ghetto
Ghetto ghetto ghetto
Older couple on the porch
Blunt smokers with the torch
Corner store, grabbing snacks
Peeping fams mean rap
Boos in a paper bag
Cracking at her, cause she bad
Soldiers with the bean pies
Spreading news, bow ties
G's in da Cadillac's
Curbside, in tact
Mama's in the laundry mat
Wash and fold, after that
Praying for the next meal
Check to check
Deal to deal
Rob Peter, pay Paul
Shop lifting at the mall
Ghetto ghetto ghetto
Ghetto ghetto ghetto
Ghetto ghetto ghetto
Ghetto ghetto ghetto
Struggle, wrestle, hustle, bustle
Crying, dying, lying, spying
Praying, asking, tired of trying
People, jobs, trying times
Causing ruckus, endless crime
Pushing forward, watching back

Kids forced to grow fast
Gangsters holding down da block
Po Po's, none stop
On the go, toe to toe
Rules to hoods flow
Welfare, cancelled checks
Knowing how the show goes
The only key to the city is
Surviving in the ghetto
Ghetto Ghetto Ghetto
Ghetto ghetto ghetto
Ghetto ghetto ghetto
Ghetto ghetto ghetto
