Ghetto Lyrics - Jermaine Dupri

I know some people might not understand me 

And might not go number 1 or wit a Grammy but uh 

I done done the lovin', I done done the touchin' 

All the kissin' and huggin' baby you know it's nothin' 

Everybody know that I can oh ho 

Ladies love it when I go oh ho 

You tryna stop all that, no 

Well brother please, can you make me understand what chu sayin' 

Listen man 

Troubles of the world today, it's got me heated 

Every word I'm about to say, I feel it's needed 

So let me talk about the things that's goin' on 

The war is over but the troops ain't home 

I see the bullets flyin', I see the people dyin' 

See the babies cryin' what's the reason 

So who you posed to be, public enemy number one now 

Next thing I know you gon' be tryna tell me to put my guns down 

I'm tryna have a conversation wit-cha fo' you let these streets get-cha 

Show you a bigger picture then standin' on this block 

You wanna talk well where the weed at, cause homie I don't need that 

Stuff you talkin' what I'm doin' ain't never gon' stop 

You must been watchin' too much C-N-N, it's about them dividends 

The hood ain't changed, I don't know where you been 

Everybody sufferin' and it's way mo' tougher than it was 

And we don't never see nobody helpin' us 

OK that's so true, I can feel ya pain 

I'm not here to argue, just put you up on game 

But I guess you the type I can't tell a damn thing 

Couple of dollars in yo pocket, and you start losin' ya brain 

It's a trap got you hustlin' all through the night 

It's a trap takin' pictures in broad daylight 

Don't let the system trick you into nothin' else, please 

Be a man and stand for yourself 

If you're not rich by now, you'll probably never get it (uh uh) 

How can I get this nigga to listen to what I'm sayin' to him 

Don't be a fool, with that I don't give a damn attitude 

Cause I know you got someone at home who truly loves you 

I'm tryna have a conversation witcha fo' you let these streets getcha 

Show you a bigger picture then standin' on this block 

You wanna talk well where the weed at, cause homie I don't need that 

Stuff you talkin' what I'm doin' ain't never gon' stop 

Please listen, hear me when I say don't let the system knock you 

Lock yo ass away, cause you got things to live for 

Your family and your children 

Don't wanna lose, the life that you've been given 

Don't wanna lose, the life that you've been given
