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
