Boogie Down Productions - Ghetto Music lyrics
[Boogie Down Productions - Ghetto Music lyrics]
"If you like the sound of
What you've heard so far"
Ghetto music ghetto music
Ghetto music ghetto music
You're tuned into that easy listening sound
With a cap and gown, not a CROWN
No glitter, no makeup
Just smashin lyrics, that make up
The B, D, and the P
You pay for the hit's, the advice is free
In this industry, we gotta grow
Commercial some go, but, y'know
Just as important as they are
So is the underground superstar (like me)
You gotta ask yourself one question
Do I speak facts, or do I start guessin?
Learn the lesson, before you plan your career
Commercial or underground, where
Do you fit, cause BOTH sides write hit's
And all is rap, I'll admit
But what I've come to EXPLAIN
Is that these people LOVE to play a game
They wanna make it seem like YOU'RE WRONG
For writin the reality song
(Don't touch those issues
Don't talk about dat
We don't take knowledge rap)
What? They want you on their bases
Cause if you bring out the brown
You're racist
But if you bring out the pink, well wait
It's OK yeah, they won't stop it
I guess it's alright to act demonic
I guess it's alright to act demonic
But that's another chapter, in another book
I've come to show a different look
And that look is the WHOLE of rap
Not just the commercial pap
But the UNDERGROUND, that RAW ghetto sound
From which rap music was found
So you can't deny it, you cannot refuse it
I'll be rockin that GHETTO MUSIC
People keep tellin me
"Kris! You need more radio
Yeah man, that's the way to go!
You gotta be like so-and-so to go platinum, "
Then I attack em!
I rhyme for the ghetto, I teach the ghetto
I cannot let go, change up? Heck no
In the ghetto, I stay mellow
We're in effect yo, ready, set, go
FRESH, for nineteen eighty-nine you suckers
Peace to PE, and the Jungle Brothers
Others, have come, to master the art
They start, with heart, then fall apart
Like a dart I shoot for one target (BO BO)
Ghetto music, yeah they'll never chart it
Cause now in eighty-nine
The purpose of a rhyme
Is to strengthen and uplift the mind
Although I'll achieve and achieve and achieve
It's simple, I'll never leave
Cause every time you front for
Respect you LOSE it i'll rock GHETTO MUSIC
Ghetto music ghetto music
Ghetto music ghetto music
What you've heard so far"
Ghetto music ghetto music
Ghetto music ghetto music
