Sticky Fingaz - Ghetto lyrics

[Sticky Fingaz - talking] If your head is as big as Shamello's If your bank is the check cashin place If you put on panty-hose instead of shavin your legs If you use grease that you used over and over again If you only go to church on Easter and holidays Then you ghetto, believe that [Hook - Petey Pablo] Can you be rich and be ghetto? (Yep) And just cause you poor do that mean that you ghetto? (Nope) So people don't understand what it mean to be ghetto And if you gonna ask then you probably never know [Sticky Fingaz (Petey Pablo)] Bein ghetto, it's just the things we do sometimes Like hangin your clothes on the oven to dry But you late, you gotta go and they ain't ready yet (You put 'em on anyway, and rock 'em halfway wet) First you wear then return everything you buy Always lookin for a discount 'til the day you die Got three kids, by three different guys (And all they names begin with La, Ta and Sha) You know you ghetto when you use a wrench for a channel changer No antenna, you gotta use a metal hanger Drink from the container and put it back in the fridge (Knowin damn well the sh** was wrong you did) Put salt on your food, before you even taste it Get a doggy bag, ghetto n***as ain't wastin sh** You know you ghetto, no, you know you grimy (When you iron dirty pants 'til them sh**s get shiny) [Hook 2x] [Sticky Fingaz (Petey Pablo)] The ghetto's not a place, it don't matter what colour you are You can be white as chalk or as black as tar And it really don't matter how much money you have (You can live on Fifth Ave. and be ghetto fab) You know you ghetto when your soap is the size of Chiclet Run into the kitchen wet for dishwashin liquid The water cold cause they shut off all your power (You know you ghetto if you pee in the shower) No toilet paper, somebody used the last you had No problem, just get a Daily News or a paper bag Ball it up and crumble it, make it soft in your a** (But when you flush, the toilet always gets stopped up) And if you got the money, the landlord never get it We never pay the rent, yo we almost got evicted If this sh** is funny or offendin you (Chances are, it's because you're ghetto too) [Hook 2x] Can you be rich and be ghetto (3x) And if you gotta ask then you'll probably never know Ghetto East Coast is the ghetto West Coast is the ghetto South Side is the ghetto Everywhere is the ghetto The ghetto The ghetto The ghetto I'll probably die, in the ghetto.. [Interlude] (Hey, I got to buy some weed man, you got anything?) Nah, I ain't selling no weed over there man (Dude, please I drove all out here for an hour man) Yo, dog, I not selling no weed over alright man? Just spent ten years in jail man, back the f**k off me man You probably a cop (Nah, man I ain't no cop man I listen to Snoop, I listen to Wu-Tang, Sticky Fingaz man I'm down with that s**t) How much you got? (I got like a hundred bucks on me man) Give me your f**king money man. Where's your f**king wallet man *Robbery continues, record rewinds*
