Goodie Mob, Chiefton - Ghetto-ology lyrics

"Uh, huh ben Hill been real
Still trill, Southwest
Y'all niggas wanna do somethin' with it?
Y'all niggas wanna do somethin' with it?

Now from that ghetto
Ghetto, ghetto, ghetto, ghetto
Got one foot in, one foot out of the ghetto
Ghetto, ghetto, ghetto, ghetto
That's why I know the things I know!
In the ghetto ghetto, ghetto, ghetto, ghetto
And some of my friends done died befo'
In the ghetto ghetto, ghetto, ghetto, ghetto
That's why I can't seem to let go

How do you feel when you judge quick
And you all up in my face
And I ain't even spit?
Just like them folk that say they
Know me from my old days
I know you wonderin' about my
Spirit and my old ways!
You hearin' me spittin' the piece of mind
Got you froze in time
Playin' catch-up with yourself
I'm on another level
And you can say I'm dead wrong
Even if you stay home
They gotta fight because you livin'
In a war zone head strong
Can't leave it 'lone till they
Get and they gone so now I'm stylin'
My momma 'bout to travelin'
He be hangin' with them
Monsters and they smilin
And my babies' coughin'
Thinkin' they have TB
And they neva call him daily in that wee-wee
So what I find is to eliminate the problem
Befo' they cause problems
Befo' we have problems
Cause you thought you had it sewed up
Until that green house grew all of a sudden
Sho' nuff, it showed up
Now you didn't know he had it in him
The venom
It fit's the test and I'm gon (win) him
Then the ride
Can't be cryin' got it steady now
You need to find out
There ain't no time-outs
You can't sign-out, better let it whine out
Don't drop the gun cause the
Street is gettin' packed now
Just let cones bang the ground
Don't you back down! For it's the fate
That brought you to this place now
So let it guide you and take
You to that touch down
And stay ground, so that you can stay proud
Cause one in, and one quick

Now from that ghetto
Ghetto, ghetto, ghetto, ghetto
Got one foot in, one foot out of the ghetto
Ghetto, ghetto, ghetto, ghetto
That's why I know the things I know!
In the ghetto ghetto, ghetto, ghetto, ghetto
And some of my friends done died befo'
In the ghetto ghetto, ghetto, ghetto, ghetto
That's why I can't seem to let go

I got these jokers with their eyes red
Drinkin' too much, got dead
I make you shout it if you's in the 'burbs
Herbs beware
It's from the one that data compare
Logistic, chicken biscuit this Winter
He will forget the cold through a song
And my (party wrong) , and my weak is strong
Just kept his back turned, yearned
For destruction bustin' microphones
Blessed the unprotected soul
Lettin' go, call him too much
Will get you off for sure watch
Top plate
What's gon' save you from the hands of (why)
When them guys gone, and you
(bet) home in the ghetto

They trappin' him off within then
Look at the fonky red'ead
Done flipped them all as dead
Paint wet, now I'm set
Fight the shit, watch it hit block lot
Neighborhood charcoals
And that old (mark-o?)
After dawn, on the porch
(Got gone) , mind blown fashioned like
Niggas sold, new or old
It's gettin' sold in the ghetto

Now from that ghetto
Ghetto, ghetto, ghetto, ghetto
Got one foot in, one foot out of the ghetto
Ghetto, ghetto, ghetto, ghetto
That's why I know the things I know!
In the ghetto ghetto, ghetto, ghetto, ghetto
And some of my friends done died befo'
In the ghetto ghetto, ghetto, ghetto, ghetto
That's why I can't seem to let go

Now from the go child my name is Lo
God done gave me this vision
Quite some time ago
He taught me shout it when you
(talk chance the blow?)
You preach that real shit 'till
You can't doubt no mo'
Now wait a minute y'all, I am the one
That ride the rhythm from midnight
To the morning sun
I do it for the freedom, finance
And forever fun
Now revolution of the mind has already begun
Now just a second y'all it got to be
For every thought is fulfilled
In the prophecy
I'm supernatural and there is no stoppin' me

Even the ghetto is still God's property!
C'mon

Ever since you was a youngster the devil been
Over your soul, like this one-eyed monster
Ain't no in between you either off or on
Never pass judgement
But the feeling is mutual
Pass the hog mog, tryin' to drown me
After years of gravel
You promised no rest to (blow) in weeks
I know you ain't choppin' in
The next man footprints wobblin' like a duck
Stuck, crawlin' out the same hole
Me don't promote no mysterious behavior
(Pimped) and be dead
I used to flow, my high school goal
It come through in the ghetto!

Now from that ghetto
Ghetto, ghetto, ghetto, ghetto
Got one foot in, one foot out of the ghetto
Ghetto, ghetto, ghetto, ghetto
That's why I know the things I know!
In the ghetto ghetto, ghetto, ghetto, ghetto
And some of my friends done died befo'
In the ghetto ghetto, ghetto, ghetto, ghetto
That's why I can't seem to let go
