Lyrics

[Verse 1]

(The ghetto, ghetto, g-ghetto)

(The ghetto, ghetto, g-ghetto)

[Verse 2]

I was on the block, right, wasn't in my right mind

Just a young **** hustling, tryna get mines

Moving with the nine double M

**** like, you don't really wanna fuck with him

Yeah, young teenager, infatuated with paper

Yeah, I had to get it 'cause mama, she wasn't able

Black and white TV set, no cable

Forties in the fridge, chicken noodles on the table

I wasn't born with a silver spoon

Child of the ghetto, raised off a different tune

Watching Bob Barker in my living room

If the price was right, I could get you a whole living room

Yeah, them was my gutter ways, back in the gutter days

No education, but the gutter pays

Through it all, came a long way

From selling the yay, fist fights to gun play

[Verse 3]

In the ghetto, ghetto, g-ghetto, g-ghetto, ghetto, g-ghetto

I comes from the bottom, but now I'm on top

Ain't nothing gonna stop me, yo

I comes from the ghetto, ghetto, g-ghetto

With all of my ****, with all of my ****

And all of my **** will roll up in the spot

Ghetto, ghetto, g-ghetto

[Verse 4]

Times is torn as it is

That's why I got guns and my guns got kids

That's why I be going so tough on them hoes

I play my own hand, I don't shuffle or fold

Fuck with a ****, let's go fuck with some hoes

Hear them bitches screaming like they stuck in the hole

I am not a demon but was once a lost soul

Till I found myself a block away from the crossroads

I have outgrown the fishbowl

And I'm on my feet like a fucking insole

Yeah, it may hurt like a fucking lymph node

But it's fuck the world, like a fucking nympho

And we spend dough 'cause we make more

And I make sure when I say so

It's Jay Rock and Weezy, need I say more?

Clothes line the beat tear, DB, I say flow

[Verse 5]

In the ghetto, ghetto, g-ghetto, g-ghetto, ghetto, g-ghetto

I comes from the bottom, but now I'm on top

Ain't nothing gonna stop me, yo

I comes from the ghetto, ghetto, g-ghetto

With all of my ****, with all of my ****

And all of my **** will roll up in the spot

Ghetto, ghetto, g-ghetto

[Verse 6]

Jay Rock, still that same OG

I ain't tryna see the grave or the penitentiary

Every day living, tryna stay on my feet

Even though a **** paid but my heart in the streets

See my dogs, I'm a beast so hard on these beats

So my family can eat, I'll be damned if I see

No income, here come Jay Rock

They know Crack Music

Drug kingpin flow, oh

[Verse 7]

Kingpin, ho, need I say more?

Your family could die when I say go

Green light, green light, what your green like?

Before you sign me up, get the scene right

And I just happen to fan it when I'm being nice

'Cause driving slow in the Lam', it doesn't seem right

Yeah, and I remember them long nights

Living the wrong life, but I made that wrong right

Weezy

[Verse 8]

All the struggling

All it does is keep me hustling

Oh, my, my

[Verse 9]

In the ghetto, ghetto, g-ghetto, g-ghetto, ghetto, g-ghetto

I comes from the bottom, but now I'm on top

Ain't nothing gonna stop me, yo

I comes from the ghetto, ghetto, g-ghetto

With all of my ****, with all of my ****

And all of my **** will roll up in the spot

Ghetto, ghetto, g-ghetto

[Verse 10]

In the ghetto, ghetto, g-ghetto, g-ghetto, ghetto, g-ghetto

I comes from the bottom, but now I'm on top

Ain't nothing gonna stop me, yo

[Verse 11]

All the struggling

All it does is keep me hustling
