Testo In The Ghetto - Busta Rhymes feat. Rick James

Testo della canzone In The Ghetto (Busta Rhymes feat. Rick James), tratta dall'album The Big Bang

You know, my homie Treach from Naughty By Nature once said
"If you ain't from the ghetto, don't come to the fuckin' ghetto"
But I'ma let one of our most immaculate
Tour guides take us all through the ghetto
My nigga, Rick James
When I was a young boy, growin' up in the ghetto
Hangin' out on corners, singin' with the fellas
Lookin' for the cute chicks, tryna find me big fun
Lookin' for some trouble, for anyone who'll gimme 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 talkin' 'bout
Talkin' 'bout ghetto life, talkin' 'bout ghetto life
You all know what I'm singin' 'bout
Talkin' 'bout ghetto life (Ghetto life)
Talkin' 'bout ghetto life, in the ghetto
True, we be takin' them chances
While we search for the answers, we be smokin' them cancer sticks
Police provokin' mu'fuckers, we dancin'
And we be dodgin' them bullets, they be poppin' off fast as 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, and nigga, we playin' 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, plus the money come quicker doin' 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
Talkin' 'bout ghetto life (Ghetto life)
Talkin' 'bout ghetto life
You all know what I'm singin' 'bout
Talkin' 'bout ghetto life (Ghetto life)
Talkin' 'bout ghetto life, 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 hustlin' as hard as you could (In the ghetto)
Until your cake stack and 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 they 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 nothin' like the hood, nigga, I don't care
You survivin' in the ghetto, you can make it anywhere
Gotta love it
Talkin' 'bout ghetto life (Ghetto life)
Talkin' 'bout ghetto life
You all know what I'm singin' 'bout
Talkin' 'bout ghetto life (Ghetto life)
Talkin' 'bout ghetto life
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)
(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)
That's where all of the hood's at
Find the most crooks and they sell the most drugs that
Where you find beautiful women and rugrats
And some of the most powerful people, I love that
Come on
Talkin' 'bout ghetto life
You all know what I'm talkin' 'bout
Talkin' 'bout ghetto life
You all know what I'm singin' 'bout
Talkin' 'bout ghetto life (Ghetto life)
Talkin' 'bout ghetto life, in the ghetto
Nevermind who you thought I was
I'm Rick James, bitch
Cocaine's a hell of a drug
