In The Ghetto Lyrics - The Big Bang - Busta Rhymes

You know, my homey Treach from Naughty By Nature once said 

If you ain't from the ghetto, don't come to the fucking ghetto 

But I'mma let one of our most immaculate tour guides 

Take us all through the ghetto - my nigga Rick James! 

When I was a young boy, growing up in the ghetto! 

Hanging out on corners, singing with the fellas 

Looking for the cute chicks, trying to find me big fun 

Looking for some trouble, or anyone who'll give me some 

I was young and crazy! (In the ghetto) 

Didn't know what my life would be (In the ghetto) 

I was dumb and oh so lazy (In the ghetto) 

Something had a spell on me (In the ghetto) 

You all know what I'm talking about (Talking about ghetto life) 

(Talking about ghetto life) 

You all know what I'm singing about (Talking about ghetto life) 

Ghetto life (Talking about ghetto life)

(In the ghetto) Sure we be taking them chances 

While we search for the answers we be smoking them cancer sticks 

Police provoking motherfuckers we dancing 

And we be dodging them bullets they be popping off at us, shit 

But yet we always romance the street 

And fall in love with the hood until somebody come blast the heat 

Always up to no good, so all of my fam could eat 

See in the hood we hungry - hey nigga we playing for keeps 

My soldiers on the block get on it 

It be good if you flaunt it, we will take if we want it 

See niggas from the ghetto got a different state of mind 

With a different kind of hustle and we iller with the grind 

And develop our muscle until we sicker with the shine 

In the struggle, thus our money come quicker doing crime 

I see the way we rep the hood, gotta love me 

You can take me out the ghetto, but you can't take it from me 

Gotta love it

Ghetto life (Talking about ghetto life)

Ghetto life (Talking about ghetto life) 

(In the ghetto) That's where we get into that street shit 

Hustle hard, try to get money quick (In the ghetto) 

That's where I got my name from 

I learned to get money and I got all my game from (In the ghetto) 

That's where you eat with a bunch of the wolves 

And get to hustling as hard as you could (In the ghetto) 

Until your cake stacking shit'll get good 

Throw a block party for the whole hood (In the ghetto) 

With them burnout cellys 

Talk crazy, sell drugs in front of Pancho Deli 

Crackhead chicks still smuggle babies in they belly 

And then piss in elevators 'til the lobby all smelly (In the ghetto) 

That's where I keep my ratchets 

Get my instincts and survival tactics 

Ain't nothing like the hood nigga, I don't care 

You surviving in the ghetto you can make it anywhere 

Gotta love it

To my East coast niggas - rep your ghetto

Midwest niggas - rep your ghetto 

Down South niggas - rep your ghetto 

To my East coast niggas - rep your ghetto 

West coast niggas - rep your ghetto 

Midwest niggas - rep your ghetto 

To my Dirty South niggas - rep your ghetto 

(In the ghetto) Even though they act rude 

You'll always find a good chick to hold a brick for they dude 

Behind the bullshit, me and my clique on the move 

We honor the code of the street, and live by the rules (In the ghetto) 

Is where, all of the hood's at 

Find the most crooks and they sell the most drugs at 

Where you find beautiful women and rugrats 

And some of the most powerful people, I love that! 

Come mon
