[00:00.00]	作词 : Eaton, Hathaway, Hutson, Shaw
[00:05.62]	Talking bout the ghetto funky funky ghetto
[00:15.31]	Trying to survive, trying to stay alive
[00:20.88]	The ghetto
[00:27.14]	{Talking bout the ghetto}
[00:27.27]	The ghetto
[00:30.64]	The ghetto
[00:34.71]	The ghetto
[00:36.77]	{Funk funky ghetto}
[00:38.96]	Even though the streets are bumpy, lights burned out
[00:42.71]	Dope fiends die with a pipe in their mouths
[00:45.21]	Old school buddies not doing it right
[00:47.21]	Every day it's the same
[00:48.83]	And it's the same every night
[00:49.84]	I wouldn't shoot you bro but I'd shoot that fool
[00:52.08]	If he played me close and tried to test my cool
[00:54.52]	Every day I wonder just how I'll die
[00:56.84]	Only thing I know is how to survive
[00:59.15]	There's only one rule in the real world
[01:01.58]	And that's to take care of you, only you and yours
[01:04.09]	Keep dealing with the hard times day after day
[01:06.40]	Might deal me some dope but then crime don't pay
[01:08.96]	Black man tried to break into my house again
[01:11.34]	Thought he got off early doing time in the pen
[01:13.71]	Even though my brothers do me just like that
[01:16.03]	I get a lot of love so I'm giving it back to the
[01:18.39]	The ghetto
[01:28.02]	The ghetto
[01:37.50]	So just peep the game and don't call it crap
[01:40.02]	Cause to me, life is one hard rap
[01:42.33]	Even though my sister smoked crack cocaine
[01:44.82]	She was nine months pregnant, ain't nothing changed
[01:47.20]	600 million on a footbal team
[01:49.45]	And her baby dies just like a dope fiend
[01:51.83]	The story I tell is so incomplete
[01:54.27]	Five kids in the house and no food to eat
[01:56.63]	Don't look at me and don't ask me why
[01:59.08]	Mama's next door getting high
[02:01.34]	Even though she's got five mouths to feed
[02:03.89]	She's rather spend her money on a H-I-T
[02:06.39]	I always tell the truth about things like this
[02:08.70]	I wonder if the mayor overlooked that list
[02:11.09]	Instead of adding to the task force send some help
[02:13.65]	Waiting on him I'd better help myself
[02:15.95]	Housing Authority and the O.P.D.
[02:18.40]	All these guns just to handle me in the
[02:20.84]	The ghetto
[02:25.71]	The ghetto
[02:43.30]	Even though they put us down and call us animals
[02:46.99]	We make real big banks and buy brand new clothes
[02:49.49]	Drive fancy cars, make love to stars
[02:51.93]	Never really saying just who we are
[02:54.37]	We use alias names like TOOSHORT
[02:57.05]	Sell you stuff you might kill for
[02:59.24]	Young kids grow up and that's all they know
[03:01.56]	Didn't teach him in school now he's slangin dope
[03:04.05]	Only thing he knows is how to survive
[03:06.43]	But will he kill another brother before he dies?
[03:08.69]	In the ghetto, you keep one eye open
[03:11.44]	All day long, just hoping and hoping
[03:13.74]	You can pay your bills and not drink too much
[03:15.93]	Then the problems of life you'll be throwing up
[03:18.30]	Like me, but you don't see
[03:20.75]	Ten years from now, where will you be?
[03:23.24]	The ghetto
[03:28.12]	The ghetto
[03:42.93]	So much game in a Too rap
[03:45.06]	Blacks can't be white and whites can't be black
[03:47.18]	Why you wanna act like someone else?
[03:49.56]	All you gotta do is just be yourself
[03:52.00]	We're all the same color underneath
[03:54.44]	Short Dog's in the house you'd better listen to me
[03:56.94]	Never be ashamed of what you are
[03:59.50]	Proud to be black stand tall at heart
[04:01.81]	Even though some people give you no respect
[04:03.94]	Be intelligent, when you put em in check
[04:06.25]	Cause when you're ignorant, you get treated that way
[04:08.75]	And when they throw you in jail you got nothing to say
[04:11.19]	So if you don't listen it's not my fault
[04:13.63]	I'll be getting paid while you'll be paying the cost
[04:16.32]	Sitting in the jailhouse running your mouth
[04:18.44]	While me and my peoples try to get out
[04:20.88]	The ghetto
[04:25.44]	The ghetto
[04:35.20]	End
