Too $hort - The Ghetto download song

Song Lyrics

Won t ya tell em bout it too hort, the ghetto talkin bout the ghetto
funky ghetto
Might deal me some dope but then crime don t pay, the ghetto talkin bout the ghetto
the ghetto talkin bout the ghetto
Even though my brothers do me just like that, black man trying to break into my house again
Stand tall and hard, i always tell the truth about things like this The, if he played me close and tried to test my cool
i wonder if the mayor overlooked that list
And that s to take care of you, only thing he knows is how to survive, don t have enough to eat

So if you don t listen, talkin bout the ghetto Ghetto, why you wanna act like someone else
No food to eat, there s only one rule in the real world
Cause that s the only place that i know, might deal me some dope but then crime don t pay The, i always tell the truth about things like this
The ghetto talkin bout the ghetto, every day i wonder just how i ll die
funky ghetto
Tryin to get out of the ghetto, sell you stuff you might kill for Too, while me and my people try to get out
When you put em in check, no food to eat
why you wanna act like someone else

You get treated that way, trying to stay alive, the ghetto talkin bout the ghetto
old school buddies not doing it right
don t have enough to eat
Housing authority and the o.p.d, there s only one rule in the real world
but i got no place to go
Won t ya tell em bout it too hort, you keep one eye open
Housing authority and the o.p.d, talking bout the ghetto funky
talking bout the ghetto

ten years from now
Won t ya tell em bout it too hort, trying to live our lives Too, ain t nothing changed
She d rather spend her money on a h-i-t, only thing he knows is how to survive, in the ghetto
tryin to survive
Mama s next door getting high, trying to live our lives $hort, the ghetto talkin bout the ghetto
I wonder if the mayor overlooked that list, talkin bout the ghetto
even though my brothers do me just like that
if he played me close and tried to test my cool

And that s to take care of you, tryin to survive
talking bout the ghetto funky
Tryin to get out of the ghetto, there s only one rule in the real world
Black man trying to break into my house again, mama s next door getting high, only you and yours
Waiting on him i d better help myself, even though some people give you no respect, keep dealing with the hard times day after day
Then the problems of life you ll be throwing up, the ghetto talkin bout the ghetto Ghetto, all you gotta do is just be yourself
She was nine months pregnant, all you gotta do is just be yourself, the ghetto talkin bout the ghetto
Tryin to survive, but will he kill another brother before he dies Too, the ghetto talkin bout the ghetto

Even though they put us down and call us animals, even though my sister smoked crack cocaine
No food to eat, but i got no place to go Ghetto, we make real big banks and buy brand new clothes
dope fiends die with a pipe in their mouth
But you don t see, funky ghetto
We re all the same color underneath, be intelligent
you keep one eye open
Won t ya tell em bout it too hort, funky ghetto $hort, we make real big banks and buy brand new clothes
And when they throw you in jail you got nothing to say, short dog is in the house

you better listen to me
children are cryin
You get treated that way, when you put em in check $hort, but will he kill another brother before he dies
You keep one eye open, i wouldn t shoot you bro but i d shoot that fool
I wouldn t shoot you bro but i d shoot that fool, you get treated that way $hort, we re all the same color underneath
if he played me close and tried to test my cool
Old school buddies not doing it right, make love to stars, every day it s the same and it s the same every night
Life is one hard rap, keep dealing with the hard times day after day

Drive fancy cars, cause that s the only place that i know
talking bout the ghetto
