[Intro: Person 1, Person 2] What you were talking about that ghetto You said, "you know you ghetto" Ghetto, who ghetto, everybody ghetto Everybody done had sum, ain't nobody not ghetto You know you ghetto when you got a leak in your roof You got that big 5 pound bucket, sitting right there catching all the water In the middle of the floor and it still would not catching the water! yeah, yeah! What about them sheets that was up to the window and Then they needed color so they tie-dyed the sheets so they got it right But you know what?, You know you ghetto when you got that big old bumper truck, living off government cheese, you can't cut it with a knife so you gotta fight it with a knife! [Verse 1] You know you ghetto when you got rats and roaches The fan in the window, front door wide open You know you ghetto when you say "ain't" and "finna" Change the channel with some pliers, got a hanger for antenna You know you ghetto eatin' chicken everyday With color weave in your hair, and you trickin' for a plate Gold teeth in your mouth, out talkin' loud And the car that you drive cost more than your house You know you ghetto when your job is illegal Live in the projects with furniture like rich people You know you ghetto when you cook with lard Only credit that you got is your food stamp card You know you ghetto when you on Section 8 Hairdos every week, but you pay your bills late Understand this song, get your jam on And yo grandma whip you with whatever she get her hands on [Chorus] You Know You Ghetto (look at the way you walk) You Ghetto (c'mon, listen to how you talk) You Ghetto (look at the clothes you wear) You Ghetto (ha!, look at that style of hair) [Verse 2] You know you ghetto pickin' boogers then you flick em And eat with your hands instead of washin' em, you lick em You don't know your daddy, and your hair nappy People catch the Holy Ghost in church gettin' happy You know you ghetto call a crib your house Be at funerals screamin', fightin' and fall out You know you ghetto sellin' clothes that you stole And when you go out, it's like a fashion show You know you ghetto with a name like Shaniqua Pookie, Red and Peanut puttin' codes in your beeper When you hear stuff, helicopter, city bus Sirens, trains, shots and the Ice Cream Truck [Chorus] You Know You Ghetto (look at the way you walk) You Ghetto (c'mon, listen to how you talk) You Ghetto (look at the clothes you wear) You Ghetto (ha!, look at that style of hair) [Verse 3] You know you ghetto only shop when there's a sale Late everywhere you go with an excuse to tell You know you ghetto when you pee outside Catch nigga-itis, get full, and sleep tight You know you ghetto when y'all stealin' cable Cussin' and DJin' on underground radio Sayin' yo mama jokes, fightin' on talk shows Mattress against the wall, ain't no frame, its on the floor You know you ghetto with dreads, plaits and braids Weaves, colorful nails, afros, wraps and waves You ghetto, won't pay back money that you borrow And wearing an outfit you goin' return tomorrow You know you ghetto bettin' on a number Using words like "uh huh", "nah", and "nuh uh" Instead of sayin' mom, you say ma, instead of dad, you say da You see liquor stores, barbeque stands, and laundromats [Chorus] You Know You Ghetto (look at the way you walk) You Ghetto (c'mon, listen to how you talk) You Ghetto (look at the clothes you wear) You Ghetto (ha!, look at that style of hair) [Verse 4] You know you ghetto, hunchin' and playin' house, right Your kids barefoot, playin' outside Eat food off the ground, say "God bless the germs" Let your kids drink beer, talkin' bout it kill worms You know you ghetto borrowing your friends clothes Bread, butter, water, supplies from people next door You know you ghetto heat the house with the oven And anybody famous from the hood, your cousin You know you ghetto cussin' out your teacher And when something happen your mama say "Lord and Jesus"!
