Yeah ugh They know Yeah ugh Ain't no help there just food stamps Weight checks and welfare Every man gone for self there Still might need to borrow your medicade card for health care Yeah if you never got knocked then you made it Everybody know each other if not they related You can get shot or get bladed There's dudes that got jobs now that had blocks in the eighties Six months five years for you just to cop out Ninth or tenth grade is usually when niggas drop out Fights break out when you wired and start joking A lot of OG's retired and started smokin' House party games of spade sweet kool-aid Loud music all night till the boys in blue raid So therefore I could never be too paid I know where I'm going and where I'm from will get you laid All the money in the world couldn't change me No diamond rings or them fancy cars Cause my niggas in the hood woulda let me Holler this because (I'm from the ghetto) I'm from the ghetto (I'm from the projects) I'm from the projects All over the world and every hood they know I'm from the ghetto and that's fo sho' (I'm from the ghetto) I'm from the ghetto (I'm from the projects) I'm from the projects All over the world and every hood they know I'm from the ghetto and that's fo sho' Haha Tell me this how come Black folks get a little doe And forget where they come from Man we used to have good times But since you moved on up you ain't cool with us We still support you tho we don't see you much You ain't the first fool its cool with us But why you living out your idols dreams Remember how for you came and help you keep those thangs Now its cool that your address changed But I'm tryna holla at my dog and the number ain't the same I guess new homies came with his fame But see true homies will stay the same Through all the up's and down's in your career A couple wives few kids scattered here And when you dead or broke without a deal All the groupies cleared The ghetto will still be here All the money in the world couldn't change me No diamond rings or them fancy cars Cause my niggas in the hood woulda let me Holler this because (I'm from the ghetto) I'm from the ghetto (I'm from the projects) I'm from the projects All over the world and every hood they know I'm from the ghetto and that's fo sho' (I'm from the ghetto) I'm from the ghetto (I'm from the projects) I'm from the projects All over the world and every hood they know I'm from the ghetto and that's fo sho'
