Talking bout the ghetto...funky funky ghetto <br />Trying to survive, trying to stay alive <br /> <br />Chorus: <br /> <br />The ghetto <br />The ghetto <br />(Talking bout the ghetto) <br />The ghetto <br />The ghetto <br />(Funk funky ghetto) <br /> <br />Even though the streets are bumpy, lights burned out <br />Dope fiends die with a pipe in their mouths <br />Old school buddies not doing it right <br />Every day it's the same <br />And it's the same every night <br />I wouldn't shoot you bro but I'd shoot that fool <br />If he played me close and tried to test my cool <br />Every day I wonder just how I'll die <br />Only thing I know is how to survive <br />There's only one rule in the real world <br />And that's to take care of you, only you and yours <br />Keep dealing with the hard times day after day <br />Might deal me some dope but then crime don't pay <br />Black man tried to break into my house again <br />Thought he got off early doing time in the pen <br />Even though my brothers do me just like that <br />I get a lot of love so I'm giving it back to the... <br /> <br />Chorus <br /> <br />So just peep the game and don't call it crap <br />Cause to me, life is one hard rap <br />Even though my sister smoked crack cocaine <br />She was nine months pregnant, ain't nothing changed <br />600 million on a footbal team <br />And her baby dies just like a dope fiend <br />The story I tell is so incomplete <br />Five kids in the house and no food to eat <br />Don't look at me and don't ask me why <br />Mama's next door getting high <br />Even though she's got five mouths to feed <br />She's rather spend her money on a H-I-T <br />I always tell the truth about things like this <br />I wonder if the mayor overlooked that list <br />Instead of adding to the task force send some help <br />Waiting on him I'd better help myself <br />Housing Authority and the O.P.D. <br />All these guns just to handle me in the... <br /> <br />Chorus <br /> <br />Even though they put us down and call us animals <br />We make real big banks and buy brand new clothes <br />Drive fancy cars, make love to stars <br />Never really saying just who we are <br />We use alias names like TOO SHORT <br />Sell you stuff you might kill for <br />Young kids grow up and that's all they know <br />Didn't teach him in school now he's slangin dope <br />Only thing he knows is how to survive <br />But will he kill another brother before he dies? <br />In the ghetto, you keep one eye open <br />All day long, just hoping and hoping <br />You can pay your bills and not drink too much <br />Then the problems of life you'll be throwing up <br />Like me, but you don't see <br />Ten years from now, where will you be? <br /> <br />Chorus <br /> <br />So much game in a TOO SHORT rap <br />Blacks can't be white and whites can't be black <br />Why you wanna act like someone else? <br />All you gotta do is just be yourself <br />We're all the same color underneath <br />Short Dog's in the house you'd better listen to me <br />Never be ashamed of what you are <br />Proud to be black stand tall at heart <br />Even though some people give you no respect <br />Be intelligent, when you put em in check <br />Cause when you're ignorant, you get treated that way <br />And when they throw you in jail you got nothing to say <br />So if you don't listen it's not my fault <br />I'll be getting paid while you'll be paying the cost <br />Sitting in the jailhouse running your mouth <br />While me and my peoples try to get out <br /> <br />Chorus
