(featuring Petey Pablo) [Sticky Fingaz - talking] |
|
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 [Chorus - Petey Pablo] |
|
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 [Sticky Fingaz (Petey Pablo)] |
|
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 need to give you is a Mai Tai and a shot) |
|
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 niggaz ain't wastin shit |
|
You know you ghetto, no, you know you grimy (When you iron dirty pants 'til them shits get shiny) [Chorus 2x] [Sticky Fingaz (Petey Pablo)] |
|
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) [chorus 2x] |
|
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.. |
