Lyrics

[Intro]
Ayy, mane (Ghetto)
They can take a **** out the ghetto
But not the ghetto out a ****
It ain't where you from, it's how you come (Ghetto)
[Verse 1]
Mannish music, music for the mob
Earl and O'Shea, Calvin and Todd (Ghetto)
Blowin' out your speakers, slappin' in your AirPod
I just bought a Chevy, 'bout to paint it eggnog
[Verse 2]
Dual exhaust (Exhaust), fuel injected (Injected)
This gon' be the bike club's most requested (Ghetto)
Bitch, I'm woke like insomnia (Insomnia)
Everything I do, I do it mafia (Mafia)
Pay me like a parking meter, bitch, I'm a boss (Uh)
Ghetto like Louisiana hot sauce (Ghetto)
Anybody out there think a factor is soft (Uh)
Fuck around and get your head knocked off
[Verse 3]
Oil stains in the driveway, siphon the petrol
Fuck an iPhone, bitch, I got me a Ghettro (Ghetto)
I felt awkward being broke
Used to add a little water to the bottom of the Joy soap
I'm ghetto like pig feet (Pig feet)
Ghetto like tire marks in the street (In the street, ghetto)
Ghetto like gettin' pinched (Gettin' pinched)
Ghetto like a punishment for weeks (For weeks)
[Verse 4]
Slapboxin' with the G's
I'm ghetto like an iron on my sandwich, tryna melt the cheese (Ghetto)
And I'm still in the game
And I'm ghetto like a **** puttin' hot sauce on everythin' (Ghetto, ghetto, ghetto)
[Verse 5]
Young **** tryna act hard, backflippin' in the backyard (Ghetto)
I'm ghetto like spendin' meal tickets on a house, all cash, no black card (Ooh-whee, ghetto, ghetto, ghetto)
**** can't find a belt, use a shoe string (Ghetto, ghetto, ghetto)
This ghetto gon' show a **** what the truth bring (Do it, dawg, ghetto, ghetto)
[Verse 6]
My bitch in the kitchen cookin' up a few things (Ghetto, ghetto, ghetto, ghetto, ghetto)
Twerkin' that ass left to right, and hookin' up some chicken wings
And my black ghetto ass don't need a ghetto pass
You want bullshit, I'ma let the metal blast (Ghetto)
Long Beach swap meet, grab and dash
First **** at the school gettin' head in class
[Verse 7]
So ghetto, play 'em like a cello (What?)
**** hustle hard and I never settle (Ghetto)
I keep it so ghetto, I sound good acapell-o
Smokin' good shit, baby, hello
[Verse 8]
Mama, can I go outside?
**** havin' fun on that Slip 'N Slide (Ghetto)
Doin' acrobatics on the dirty mattress
I'm in the bathroom playin' with matches
[Verse 9]
Auntie catch us, that's an ass-whoopin'
Grandmama call her a fast woman (Ghetto)
Tappin' on that window pane
Homegirl down the street give me brains
Daddy come home with the Doberman gang
Out the back door, holdin' my chain (Ghetto)
[Verse 10]
Jumped off the roof, hit the pigeon coop
Got another triple-double shootin' some hoop
Ghetto motherfucker spittin' the truth
Don't need a loop, don't need a booth (Ghetto)
Just beat on the table, lyrics are fatal
Don't need a deal, don't need a label, hello
[Verse 11]
**** ghetto, it's falsetto, yeah
'Bout as black as a tea kettle (Ghetto)
Down to clap metal if you're yellow
Tear it up, foot on the gas pedal
[Verse 12]
I love chicken and rice any way you cook it
Beans on the side, it's okay if you lookin' (Ghetto)
Moms might make you a plate
Come get some leftovers, we already ate
I'ma feed the whole hood if it's on the stove
[Verse 13]
And I keep the ghetto with me when I'm on the road (Ghetto)
We gettin' money in the ghetto (Gettin' money)
And the only way to get it ain't federal
Ain't gotta go to court (Court), or play sports
And you ain't gotta pimp hoes like Too Short (Ghetto)
[Verse 14]
I see the homies outside sellin' crack
It's no way out if you stuck in the trap
Intoxicated, you off balance and let go
Livin' life in the ghetto (Ghetto)
[Verse 15]
You told your mama you a go-getter
She said, "Boy, stay away from them dope dealers"
Fuck IG, this ain't TikTok
Them **** on the block sellin' big rocks (Ghetto)
Makin' all that money, might get shot
You should be on Wall Street tradin' stocks
[Outro]
Ooh-whee, ghetto, ghetto, ghetto
