Yes, this is the ghetto, sure 'nuff now
Don't you know that's all right yeah, yeah
The ghetto, the ghetto, the ghetto
The ghetto, the ghetto, the ghetto
The ghetto, the ghetto, the ghetto
The ghetto, the ghetto, the ghetto
The ghetto, the ghetto, the ghetto
The ghetto, the ghetto, the ghetto
The ghetto, the ghetto, the ghetto
The ghetto, the ghetto, the ghetto
Wait a minute
No you ain't doin' what you're suppose to
You doin' what you wanna do
But you know you, [incomprehensible]
The ghetto, the ghetto, the ghetto
The ghetto, the ghetto, the ghetto
The ghetto, the ghetto, the ghetto
The ghetto, the ghetto, the ghetto
The ghetto, the ghetto, the ghetto
The ghetto, the ghetto, the ghetto
The ghetto, the ghetto, the ghetto
The ghetto, the ghetto
The ghetto, talkin' 'bout the ghetto
The ghetto, talkin' 'bout the ghetto
The ghetto, talkin' 'bout the ghetto
The ghetto, talkin' 'bout the ghetto
The ghetto, talkin' 'bout the ghetto
The ghetto, talkin' 'bout the ghetto
The ghetto, talkin' 'bout the ghetto
The ghetto, talkin' 'bout the ghetto
I'm talkin' 'bout the ghetto
I'm talkin' 'bout the ghetto
Can you all dig it out there?
Can you dig it?
