In The Ghetto
(专辑: The Big Bang - 2006)
[Busta Rhymes] Y'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'm gonna let one of our most immaculate tour guides take us ALL through the
ghetto my nigga Rick James! [Rick James sampled from "Ghetto Life" +
(backup singers)] When I
was a
young boy, growing up in the
ghetto! Hangin out on corners, singin with the
fellas Lookin for the
cute chicks, trying to find me big fun Lookin 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 'bout (Talking 'bout ghetto life) (Talking 'bout ghetto life) You all know what I'm singin 'bout (Talking 'bout ghetto life) Ghetto life (Talking 'bout ghetto life) [Busta Rhymes] (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 poppin off at us, shit But yet we always romance the
street And fall in love with the
hood 'til 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 'til 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 [Chorus: Rick James +
(backup singers)] (Talking 'bout ghetto life) Ghetto life (Talking 'bout ghetto life) You all know what I'm singin 'bout (Talking 'bout ghetto life) Ghetto life (Talking 'bout ghetto life) [Busta Rhymes] (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 smoke with babies in they belly And them 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 nuttin like the
hood nigga, I
don't care You surviving in the
ghetto you can make it anywhere Gotta love it [Chorus] [Interlude: Busta Rhymes] To my East coast niggas rep your ghetto West 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 [Busta Rhymes] (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! C'mon [Outro: Rick James +
(backup singers)] (Talking 'bout ghetto life) You all know what I'm talking 'bout (Talking 'bout ghetto life) (Talking 'bout ghetto life) You all know what I'm singin 'bout (Talking 'bout ghetto life) Ghetto life (Talking 'bout ghetto life) (In the
ghetto) "Never mind who you thought I
was, I'm Rick James BITCH!" [applause] "Cocaine is a
hell of a
drug"
