I'm From The Ghetto

We the best, I represent the hood
 I represent the ghetto
 I represent the people
 I represent you, listen
 All the money in the world couldn't change me
 No diamond rings or them fancy cars
 'Cause my *** in the hood woulda let me
 Holler this because
 (I'm from the ghetto)
 I'm from the ghetto
 (I'm from the projects)
 I'm from the projects
 All over the world and every hood they know
 I'm from the ghetto and that's fo sho'
 (I'm from the ghetto)
 I'm from the ghetto
 (I'm from the projects)
 I'm from the projects
 All over the world and every hood they know
 I'm from the ghetto and that's fo sho'
 (I'm from the ghetto)
 Yeah, that's what got me here
 The chucks, the khaki suits, all the swap meet years
 The six dollar socks, the five dollar ***
 Uncle Greg rest in peace, he taught me how to chop
 That's why I love the hood and everything we got
 From the ice cream trucks to the forty ounce tops
 All white Air Force Ones to fake Jacob watch
 A few reasons I drive the Bentley hard top
 Use it in my songs 'cause I live it on the block
 Tattoo it on my face, let the whole world watch
 I'm that type of *** y'all made my city bigger, dawg
 Turn the TV off, got tired of watchin' Jigga boss
 So we told our mom's, we was lookin' for jobs
 We was really in the record store lookin' for Nas
 Project of the ghetto, ghetto and the project
 From Compton to being Dre's number one prospect so
 All the money in the world couldn't change me
 No diamond rings or them fancy cars
 'Cause my *** in the hood woulda let me
 Holler this because
 (I'm from the ghetto)
 I'm from the ghetto
 (I'm from the projects)
 I'm from the projects
 All over the world and every hood they know
 I'm from the ghetto and that's fo sho'
 (I'm from the ghetto)
 I'm from the ghetto
 (I'm from the projects)
 I'm from the projects
 All over the world and every hood they know
 I'm from the ghetto and that's fo sho'
 (I'm from the ghetto)
 Ain't no help there, just food stamps
 Weight checks and welfare
 Every man gone for self there
 You still might need to borrow
 Your medicate card for Health Care
 Yeah, if you never got knocked then you made it
 Everybody know each other if not they related
 You can get shot or get bladed
 There's dudes that got jobs now that had blocks in the eighties
 Six months, five years for you just to cop out
 Ninth, tenth grade is usually when *** drop out
 Fights break out when you wired and start joking
 A lot of OG's retired and started smokin'
 House party games of spade sweet Kool-Aid
 Loud music all night till the boys in blue raid
 So therefore, I could never be too paid
 And I know where I'm going and where I'm from will get you laid
 All the money in the world couldn't change me
 No diamond rings or them fancy cars
 'Cause my *** in the hood woulda let me
 Holler this because
 (I'm from the ghetto)
 I'm from the ghetto
 (I'm from the projects)
 I'm from the projects
 All over the world and every hood they know
 I'm from the ghetto and that's fo sho'
 (I'm from the ghetto)
 I'm from the ghetto
 (I'm from the projects)
 I'm from the projects
 All over the world and every hood they know
 I'm from the ghetto and that's fo sho'
 (I'm from the ghetto)
 Tell me this, how come, black folks get a little dough
 And forget where they come from?
 Man, we used to have good times
 But since you moved on up, yes, you ain't cool with us
 We still support you know, we don't see you much
 You ain't the first fool, it's cool with us?
 But while you living out your idol dreams
 Remember how far you came and help you keep them thangs
 Now it's cool that your address changed
 But I'm tryna holla at my dog but the number ain't the same
 I guess new homies came with his fame
 But see, true homies will stay the same
 Through all the up's and down's in your career
 A couple wives, few kids scattered here and there
 And when you dead or broke without a deal
 All the groupies cleared, the ghetto still be here
 All the money in the world couldn't change me
 No diamond rings or them fancy cars
 'Cause my *** in the hood woulda let me
 Holler this because
 (I'm from the ghetto)
 I'm from the ghetto
 (I'm from the projects)
 I'm from the projects
 All over the world and every hood they know
 I'm from the ghetto and that's fo sho'
 (I'm from the ghetto)
 I'm from the ghetto
 (I'm from the projects)
 I'm from the projects
 All over the world and every hood they know
 I'm from the ghetto and that's fo sho'
 (I'm from the ghetto)

 We the best
