[00:01.56][Busta Rhymes]
[00:02.52]Y’know, my homey Treach from Naughty By Nature once said
[00:07.15]If you ain’t from the ghetto, don’t COME to the fuckin ghetto
[00:11.53]But I’ma let one of our most immaculate tour guides
[00:13.52]Take us ALL through the ghetto – my nigga Rick James!
[00:16.64][Rick James – sampled from “Ghetto Life” + (backup singers)]
[00:18.41]When I was a young boy, growin up in the ghetto!
[00:21.10]Hangin out on corners, singin with the fellas
[00:24.51]Lookin for the cute chicks, tryin to find me big fun
[00:29.02]Lookin for some trouble, or anyone who’ll give me some
[00:33.53]I was young and crazy! (In the ghetto)
[00:38.10]Didn’t know what my life would be (In the ghetto)
[00:42.18]I was dumb and oh so lazy (In the ghetto)
[00:46.17]Something had a spell on me (In the ghetto)
[00:50.35]You all know what I’m talkin ’bout (Talkin ’bout ghetto life)
[00:52.40](Talkin ’bout ghetto life)
[00:55.03]You all know what I’m singin ’bout (Talkin ’bout ghetto life)
[01:03.74]Ghetto life (Talkin ’bout ghetto life)
[01:08.26][Busta Rhymes]
[01:09.30](In the ghetto) Sure we be takin them chances
[01:12.98]While we search for the answers we be smokin them cancer sticks
[01:14.10]Police provokin muh’fuckers we dancin
[01:15.49]And we be dodgin them bullets they be poppin off at us, shit
[01:17.27]But yet we always romance the street
[01:19.14]And fall in love with the hood ’til somebody come blast the heat
[01:21.10]Always up to no good, so all of my fam could eat
[01:23.19]See in the hood we hungry – hey nigga we playin for keeps
[01:25.63]My soldiers on the block get on it
[01:27.90]It be good if you flaunt it, we will take if we want it
[01:29.96]See niggaz from the ghetto got a different state of mind
[01:31.69]With a different kind of hustle and we iller with the grind
[01:33.77]And develop our muscle ’til we sicker with the shine
[01:35.49]In the struggle, thus our money come quicker doin crime
[01:37.74]I see the way we rep the hood, gotta love me
[01:40.40]You can take me out the ghetto, but you can’t take it from me
[01:42.41]Gotta love it
[01:44.19][Chorus: Rick James + (backup singers)]
[01:45.71](Talkin ’bout ghetto life)
[01:51.42]Ghetto life (Talkin ’bout ghetto life)
[01:53.00]You all know what I’m singin ’bout (Talkin ’bout ghetto life)
[01:54.03]Ghetto life (Talkin ’bout ghetto life)
[01:59.25][Busta Rhymes]
[02:00.00](In the ghetto) That’s where we get into that street shit
[02:02.02]Hustle hard, try to get money quick (In the ghetto)
[02:03.32]That’s where I got my name from
[02:06.05]I learned to get money and I got all my game from (In the ghetto)
[02:07.32]That’s where you eat with a bunch of the wolves
[02:10.36]And get to hustlin as hard as you could (In the ghetto)
[02:12.30]Until your cake stackin shit’ll get good
[02:14.09]Throw a block party for the whole hood (In the ghetto)
[02:15.85]With them burnout cellys
[02:18.58]Talk crazy, sell drugs in front of Pancho Deli
[02:20.09]Crackhead chicks still smuggle babies in they belly
[02:21.85]And them piss in elevators ’til the lobby all smelly (In the ghetto)
[02:24.34]That’s where I keep my ratchets
[02:26.84]Get my instincts and survival tactics
[02:28.84]Ain’t nuttin like the hood nigga, I don’t care
[02:30.54]You survivin in the ghetto you can make it anywhere
[02:32.88]Gotta love it

[03:13.36]We honor the code of the street, and live by the rules (In the ghetto)
[03:15.62]Is where, all of the hood’s at
[03:17.85]Find the most crooks and they sell the most drugs at
