U ghetto (dont be ashamed)

U know u ghetto
|
|
[Bishop]
|
U know u ghetto when you got rats and roaches
|
With the fan in the window, front door wide open
|
U know u ghetto when u say "I aint offended"
|
Change the channel with some pliers, got a hanger for a antenna
|
U know u ghetto eatin chicken everyday
|
With color weave in your hair and you trickin for a pay
|
Gold teeth in your mouth
|
Out talkin loud
|
And the car that you drive cost more than your house
|
U know u ghetto when your job is illegal
|
Live in the projects with furniture like rich people
|
U know u ghetto when you cook with lard
|
Only credit that you got is your food stamp card
|
U know u ghetto when you own section 8
|
Have dues everyday, but you pay your bills late
|
Understand this song, get your jam on
|
And yo grandma whip you with whatever she get her hands on
|
|
[chorus]
|
[lil kids (Bishop)]
|
U know u ghetto (look at the way you walk)
|
U ghetto (c'mon, listen to how you talk)
|
U ghetto (look at the clothes you wear)
|
U ghetto (haa, look at that style of hair)
|
U know u ghetto
|
|
[Bishop]
|
U know u ghetto pickin boogers and you flick 'em
|
And eat with your hands stead of washin 'em, you lick 'em
|
You dont know your daddy
|
And your hair nappy
|
People catch the Holy Ghost in church gettin happy
|
U know u ghetto call the crib your house
|
Be at funerals screamin, fightin, then fall out
|
U know u ghetto sellin clothes that you stole
|
And when you go out it's like a fashion show
|
U know u ghetto with a name like Shaniqua
|
Pookie, Red, and Peanut puttin codes in your beeper
|
When you hear stuff, helecopter, city bus
|
????? straight out of the ice cream truck
|
|
[chorus]
|
|
[Bishop]
|
U know u ghetto only shop when there's a sale
|
Late everywhere you go with an excuse to tell
|
U know u ghetto when you pee outside
|
Catch bronchitis, get full and sleep tight
|
U know u ghetto when y'all stealin cable
|
Cussin and DJin on underground radio
|
Sayin Yo' Mama jokes
|
Fightin on talk shows
|
Matress against the wall
|
Aint no frame, it's on the floor
|
U know u ghetto with dreads, plaits, and braids
|
Weave, colorful nails, afros, wraps, and waves
|
U ghetto, wont pay back money that you borrow
|
And wearin an outfit you gon' return tomorrow
|
U know u ghetto bettin on a number
|
Usin words like "Uhh-huh", "Naw", and "Uhh-uhh"
|
Stead of "Mom" you say "Ma", stead of "Dad" you say "Da"
|
You see nickel stores, bar-b-cue stands, and laundromats
|
|
[chorus]
|
|
[Bishop]
|
U know u ghetto punchin aint playin house right
|
Your kids bare foot playin outside
|
Eat food of the ground, say "God, bless the church"
|
Let your kids drink beer talkin bout "It gives 'em worms"
|
U know u ghetto borrowin your friends clothes
|
Ran out of water supplies from people next door
|
U know u ghetto heat the house with the oven
|
And anybody famous from the hood your cousin
|
U know u ghetto cussin out your teacer
|
And when somethin happen your mama screamin "Lord Jesus!"
|
When you use street knowledge
|
Graduate from school and go to jail instead of college
|
U know u ghetto bar-b-cuein every holiday
|
Pizza man wont even deliver around your way
|
Whjere the gang hang out, cornerstore hang out
|
Mom's at the gas station beggin for some change now
|
|
[chorus]
