2
Y'know, my homey Treach from Naughty By Nature once said
3
If you ain't from the ghetto, don't come to the fuckin ghetto
4
But I'ma let one of our most immaculate tour guides
5
Take us all through the ghetto - my nigga Rick James!
6
[Rick James - sampled from "Ghetto Life" + (backup singers)]
7
When I was a young boy, growin up in the ghetto!
8
Hangin out on corners, singin with the fellas
9
Lookin for the cute chicks, tryin to find me big fun
10
Lookin for some trouble, or anyone who'll give me some
11
I was young and crazy! (In the ghetto)
12
Didn't know what my life would be (In the ghetto)
13
I was dumb and oh so lazy (In the ghetto)
14
Something had a spell on me (In the ghetto)
15
You all know what I'm talkin 'bout (Talkin 'bout ghetto life)
16
(Talkin 'bout ghetto life)
17
You all know what I'm singin 'bout (Talkin 'bout ghetto life)
18
Ghetto liiiiiiiiife (Talkin 'bout ghetto life)
19
[Busta Rhymes]
20
(In the ghetto) Sure we be takin them chances
21
While we search for the answers we be smokin them cancer sticks
22
Police provokin muh'fuckers we dancin
23
And we be dodgin them bullets they be poppin off at us, shit
24
But yet we always romance the street
25
And fall in love with the hood 'til somebody come blast the heat
26
Always up to no good, so all of my fam could eat
27
See in the hood we hungry - hey nigga we playin for keeps
28
My soldiers on the block get on it
29
It be good if you flaunt it, we will take if we want it
30
See niggaz from the ghetto got a different state of mind
31
With a different kind of hustle and we iller with the grind
32
And develop our muscle 'til we sicker with the shine
33
In the struggle, thus our money come quicker doin crime
34
I see the way we rep the hood, gotta love me
35
You can take me out the ghetto, but you can't take it from me
36
Gotta love it
37
[Chorus: Rick James + (backup singers)]
38
(Talkin 'bout ghetto life)
39
Ghetto liiiiiiiiife (Talkin 'bout ghetto life)
40
You all know what I'm singin 'bout (Talkin 'bout ghetto life)
41
Ghetto liiiiiiiiife (Talkin 'bout ghetto life)

43
(In the ghetto) That's where we get into that street shit
44
Hustle hard, try to get money quick (In the ghetto)
45
That's where I got my name from
46
I learned to get money and I got all my game from (In the ghetto)
47
That's where you eat with a bunch of the wolves
48
And get to hustlin as hard as you could (In the ghetto)
49
Until your cake stackin shit'll get good
50
Throw a block party for the whole hood (In the ghetto)
51
With them burnout cellys
52
Talk crazy, sell drugs in front of Pancho Deli
53
Crackhead chicks still smuggle babies in they belly
54
And them piss in elevators 'til the lobby all smelly (In the ghetto)
55
That's where I keep my ratchets
56
Get my instincts and survival tactics
57
Ain't nuttin like the hood nigga, I don't care
58
You survivin in the ghetto you can make it anywhere
59
Gotta love it
60
[Chorus:]
61
[Interlude: Busta Rhymes]
62
To my East coast niggaz - rep your ghetto
63
West coast niggaz - rep your ghetto
64
Midwest niggaz - rep your ghetto
65
Down South niggaz - rep your ghetto
66
To my East coast niggaz - rep your ghetto
67
West coast niggaz - rep your ghetto
68
Midwest niggaz - rep your ghetto
69
To my Dirty South niggaz - rep your ghetto
70
[Busta Rhymes]
71
(In the ghetto) Even though they act rude
72
You'll always find a good chick to hold a brick for they dude
73
Behind the bullshit, me and my clique on the move
74
We honor the code of the street, and live by the rules (In the ghetto)
75
Is where, all of the hood's at
76
Find the most crooks and they sell the most drugs at
77
Where you find beautiful women and rugrats
78
And some of the most powerful people, I love that!
79
C'mon

Ghetto liiiiiiiiife (Talkin 'bout ghetto life)
