U Know U Ghetto

[lil kids (Bishop)]
U know u ghetto (dont be ashamed )
U ghetto
U ghetto (dont be ashamed )
U ghetto
U know u ghetto
[Bishop]
U know u ghetto when you got rats and roaches
The fan in the window, front door wide open
U know u ghetto when u say "I aint offended"
Change the channel with some pliers, got a hanger for a antenna
U know u ghetto eatin chicken everyday
With color weave in your hair and you trickin for a pay
Gold teeth in your mouth
Out talkin loud
And the car that you drive cost more than your house
U know u ghetto when your job is illegal
Live in the projects with furniture like rich people
U know u ghetto when you cook with lard
Only credit that you got is your food stamp card
U know u ghetto when you on section 8
Hair dos everyday, but you pay your bills late
Understand this song, get your jam on
And yo grandma whip you with whatever she get her hands on
[chorus]
[lil kids (Bishop)]
U know u ghetto ( look at the way you walk)
U ghetto ( c'mon, listen to how you talk)
U ghetto ( look at the clothes you wear)
U ghetto ( haa, look at that style of hair)
U know u ghetto
[Bishop]
U know u ghetto pickin boogers and you flick 'em
Eatin' with your hands instead of washin 'em, you lick 'em
You dont know your daddy
And your hair nappy
People catch the Holy Ghost in church gettin happy
U know u ghetto call the crib your house
Be at funerals screamin, fightin, then fall out
U know u ghetto sellin clothes that you stole
And when you go out it's like a fashion show
U know u ghetto with a name like Shaniqua
Pookie, Red, and Peanut puttin codes in your beeper
When you hear stuff, helecopter, city bus
Siren, train, shots and the ice cream truck
[Chorus]
[Bishop]
U know u ghetto only shop when there's a sale
Late everywhere you go with an excuse to tell
U know u ghetto when you pee outside
Catch bronchitis, get full and sleep tight
U know u ghetto when y'all stealin cable
Cussin and DJin on underground radio
Sayin the Mama jokes
Fightin on talk shows
Matress against the wall
Aint no frame, it's on the floor
U know u ghetto with dreads, plats, and braids
Weave, colorful nails, afros, wraps, and waves
U ghetto, won't pay back money that you borrow
And wearin an outfit you gon' return tomorrow
U know u ghetto bettin on the number
Use words like "Unhuh", "Nah", and "Nuna"
Stead of "Mom" you say "Ma", stead of "Dad" you say "Da"
You see nickel stores, bar-b-cue stands, and laundromats
[Chorus]
[Bishop]
U know u ghetto punchin aint playin house right
Your kids bare foot playin outside
Eat food of the ground, say "God, bless the germs"
Let your kids drink beer talkin bout "It kills worms"
U know u ghetto borrowin your friends clothes
Ran out of water supplies from people next door
U know u ghetto heat the house with the oven
And anybody famous from the hood your cousin
U know u ghetto cussin out your teacer
And when somethin happen your mama screamin "Lordy Jesus!"
U know u ghetto when you use street knowledge
Graduate from school and go to jail instead of college
U know u ghetto bar-b-cuein every holiday
Pizza man won't even deliver around your way
Where the gangs bang out, cornerstore hang out
Bums at the gas station beggin for some change now
[Chorus 2 x's]
