E-40, The Jacka, Rankin Scroo - In The Ghetto lyrics

Oh ah-a aye (Oh ah-a aye)
Ni-ni-ni-ni-ni na nuh well den-den-den
Yap, yap, yap, yap, yap
Rankin Scroo longside E 40 again fren

All mi hear is blam, blam
Blam inna d ghetti-o
Ditchin, duckin, dodgin, inna d ghetti-o
Pare suffaration inna d ghetti-o
An you know why-y-y-y-y
Pimps, pushaz pare prostitute inna d ghetti-o
Liquor store pan every corner in d ghetti-o
Can find drugs everywhere inna d ghetti-o
An you know why, woi, tell dem

G-H-E T T-O pissed stained mattress on the
Floor sub stations and liquor stores
Get out a pocket get peeled a roll
Every fuckin day there’s a funeral
A kid will shoot you and tag your toe no a
C just windows and fans
Section 8 with programs
Juvenile hall youth authority task
Force housing authority
Hoodies beenie caps and p coats niggas
Will scratch to sell dope
Soul food spots barber shops old
School chevys big blocks
Luxury scrapers dreadlocks and tapers bald
Heads french braids and perms
The bootleg man with dvd burns
Quality shit no returns gift cards green dot
Cards moneygrams walmarts
Confidential informants, CI’s, wire taps FBIs
Wide splats all type of lies
Down to Beverly Hills housewives
I’m lookin for a handout tryin
To find a way out
Lookin for a money route tryin
To get some pay out
Makin beef like a steakhouse specially
With my k out suckas better stay out fenna
They get laid out
The Salvation Army an goodwill, swap meets
Flea markets an rubbishes


Miss Mary an her grandson
Live down inna d ghetto area
In da hood whey we come from we sell
Ganja jus to take care of her
The sun change d cold rain
A love for d game an d
Game that comes from it
The love for chains, d fame an cold summers
Yo friends they turn lane an
Change then try gun ya
Put d pistol to yo brain
Right befo’ yo motha’s eyes
Strip you fo’ yo safaz right
Befo’ yo brotha tries
It’s real out here, you
Suckas can’t describe
Fifty kicks right befo’ they circumcise
That’s ova yo snapback, I I ’m in
A war nigga, wit babylon clap backs
Kick down yo door nigga
Killer ain’t body strapped charge
Us wit bo nigga, boy ain’t sellin stacks

Pentecostal an baptist churches
Flowers an funeral service
Black suit's an hearses
Out here it’s callous an merciless
Ankle monitors, push coke
(push coke) , felonies
Can’t vote (can’t vote) crack cocaine dope
(dope) , reek house swivel coke (coke)
How did it get here, we broke
We don’t know no trains planes or boats
(boats)
They got me on d run wit ma honey drop
An I don’t know where ma
Next meal is comin from
Ma assets jus died they hung
An burnt them alive (burnt them alive)
Genetically scarred, rebellion all of ma life
(all of ma life) drinkin ma troubles away
Tryna erase ma stress (erase ma stress)
Coughin an chokin an smokin an
Beatin on ma chest (on ma chest)
Readin d bible
Askin ma idol to protect me from ma rival
Plus ma brawd pregnant, mayne
She missed he menstrual cycle
(her menstrual cycle) it’s ugly out here
It’s a eye for a eye an a tooth for a tooth
(tooth for a tooth) it’s grimey out here
They’ll slide by an try to catch you loose
(catch you loose)


The ghetto man a hustle, an a use him muscle
Sooner or lata, som’n a go get shuffle
Him don’ miss
Now him haffi tek up d heata yes
Wheh shine an glisten, blam-blam-blam
Yuh nuh hear it a whistle, dat soun scary
No dibby-dibby d ghetto nuffi query
Or else somebody gwah end up get bury
An you know why
