Ghetto

[Sticky Fingaz - talking]<br>If your head is as big as Shamello`s<br>If your bank is the check cashin place<br>If you put on panty-hose instead of shavin your legs<br>If you use grease that you used over and over again<br>If you only go to church on Easter and holidays<br>Then you ghetto, believe that<br><br>[Chorus - Petey Pablo]<br>Can you be rich and be ghetto? (Yep)<br>And just cause you poor do that mean that you ghetto? (Nope)<br>So people don`t understand what it mean to be ghetto<br>And if you gonna ask then you probably never know<br><br>[Sticky Fingaz (Petey Pablo)]<br>Bein ghetto, it`s just the things we do sometimes<br>Like hangin your clothes on the oven to dry<br>But you late, you gotta go and they ain`t ready yet<br>(You put `em on anyway, and rock `em halfway wet)<br>First you wear then return everything you buy<br>Always lookin for a discount `til the day you die<br>Got three kids, by three different guys<br>(And all they need to give you is a Mai Tai and a shot)<br>You know you ghetto when you use a wrench for a channel changer<br>No antenna, you gotta use a metal hanger<br>Drink from the container and put it back in the fridge<br>(Knowin damn well the shit was wrong you did)<br>Put salt on your food, before you even taste it<br>Get a doggy bag, ghetto niggaz ain`t wastin shit<br>You know you ghetto, no, you know you grimy<br>(When you iron dirty pants `til them shits get shiny)<br><br>[Chorus 2x]<br><br>[Sticky Fingaz (Petey Pablo)]<br>The ghetto`s not a place, it don`t matter what colour you are<br>You can be white as chalk or as black as tar<br>And it really don`t matter how much money you have<br>(You can live on Fifth Ave. and be ghetto fab)<br>You know you ghetto when your soap is the size of Chiclet<br>Run into the kitchen wet for dishwashin liquid<br>The water cold cause they shut off all your power<br>(You know you ghetto if you pee in the shower)<br>No toilet paper, somebody used the last you had<br>No problem, just get a Daily News or a paper bag<br>Ball it up and crumble it, make it soft in your ass<br>(But when you flush, the toilet always gets stopped up)<br>And if you got the money, the landlord never get it<br>We never pay the rent, yo we almost got evicted<br>If this shit is funny or offendin you<br>(Chances are, it`s because you`re ghetto too)<br><br>[chorus 2x]<br><br>Can you be rich and be ghetto (3x) <br>And if you gotta ask then you`ll probably never know <br>Ghetto <br>East Coast is the ghetto <br>West Coast is the ghetto <br>South Side is the ghetto <br>Everywhere is the ghetto<br>The ghetto <br>The ghetto <br>The ghetto <br>I`ll probably die, in the ghetto..
