[00:09.026](Mary had a little lamb)
[00:10.567]That's a fib—she had two twins, though and one crib
[00:13.467]Now she's only fourteen, what a start
[00:15.765]But this defect is ground common in these parts
[00:17.907]Now life in this world can be such a *****
[00:20.389]And dreams are often torn and shattered and hard to stitch
[00:22.609]Negative's the attitude that runs the show
[00:24.751]When the stage is the G-H-E-T-T-O
[00:27.207]Which is the one to blame when ******s blow
[00:29.453]Either Peter, Jane, or John or Joe
[00:31.596]But Joe can't shoot a gun, he's always drunk
[00:33.920]And Peter's pimping Jane, and John's a punk
[00:36.115]Infested are the halls, also the brains
[00:38.440]Daddy's broken down from ghetto pains
[00:40.712]Mommy's flying high, the truth is shown
[00:42.959]The kids are all alone
[00:44.317]'Cause it's just the ghetto thang
[00:47.400]"It's just the ghetto thang" ("Word")
[00:52.023]"It's just the ghetto thang" ("Word")
[00:54.113]Who ranks the baddest brother, the ones who rule
[00:56.464]This title is sought by the coolest fool
[00:58.737]Define coolest fool? Easy, the one who needs
[01:00.983]Attention in the largest span and loves to lead
[01:03.308]Always found at the jams, but never dance
[01:05.607]Just provoke violence due to one glance
[01:07.880]The future plays no matter, just the present flow
[01:10.178]When the greeting place is the G-H-E-T-T-O
[01:12.529]Lies are pointed strong into your skull
[01:14.698]Deep within your brain against the wall
[01:16.892]To hide or just erase the glowing note
[01:19.008]Of how to use the ghetto as a scapegoat
[01:21.411]Truth from Trugoy's mouth is here to scar
[01:23.710]Those who blame the G for all bizarre
[01:25.904]So open up your vents and record well
[01:28.177]For this is where we stand, for the true tell
[01:30.502]Ghetto gained a ghetto name from ghetto ways
[01:32.618]Now there could be some ghetto gangs and ghetto play
[01:34.916]If ghetto thang can have its way in ghetto range
[01:37.267]Then there must be some ghetto love and ghetto change
[01:39.514]Though confident they keep it kept, we know for fact
[01:41.708]They lie like ghettos form, 'cause people lack
[01:44.007]To see that they must all get out the ghetto hold
[01:46.175]The truth they never told
[01:47.899]'Cause it's just the ghetto thang
[01:50.773]"It's just the ghetto thang" ("Word")
[01:55.344]"It's just the ghetto thang" ("Word")
[01:57.382]Do people really wish when they blow
[01:59.942]Out the cake candles, and if so
[02:02.136]Is it for the sunken truth which could arise
[02:04.356]From out the characters in which the ghetto hides
[02:06.707]Roses in the ring supply their shown relief
[02:09.084]Granted it's planted by their shown belief
[02:11.096]Kill and feed off your own brother man
[02:13.186]Has quickly been adopted as the master plan
[02:15.746]Posses of our people has yet to provoke
[02:17.862]Freedom or death to them, it's just a joke
[02:20.239]What causes this defect, I don't know
[02:22.433]Maybe it's the G-H-E-T-T-O
[02:27.057]"It's just the ghetto thang" ("Word")
[02:31.550]"It's just the ghetto thang" ("Word")
[02:33.770]Standing in the rain is nothing felt
[02:36.095]When problems hold more value, but never dealt
[02:38.316]With buildings crumbling to the ground
[02:40.588]Impact noise is solid sound
[02:42.861]But who's the one to say this life is wrong
[02:45.133]When ghetto life is chosen strong
[02:47.432]We seem to be misled about our dreams
[02:49.548]But dreams ain't what it seems
[02:51.037]When it's just the ghetto thang
[02:54.146]"It's just the ghetto thang" ("Word")
[02:58.665]"It's just the ghetto thang" ("Word")
[03:03.184]"It's just the ghetto thang" ("Word")
