[lil kids (Bishop)]
  U know u ghetto (dont be ashamed )
  U ghetto
  U ghetto ( dont be ashamed )
  U ghetto
  U know u ghetto
    [Bishop]
  U know u ghetto when you got rats and roaches
  With the fan in the window, front door wide open
  U know u ghetto when u say "I aint offended"
  Change the channel with some pliers, got a hanger for a antenna
  U know u ghetto eatin chicken everyday
  With color weave in your hair and you trickin for a pay
  Gold teeth in your mouth
  Out talkin loud
  And the car that you drive cost more than your house
  U know u ghetto when your job is illegal
  Live in the projects with furniture like rich people
  U know u ghetto when you cook with lard
  Only credit that you got is your food stamp card
  U know u ghetto when you own section 8
  Have dues everyday, 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]
  [lil kids (Bishop)]
  U know u ghetto ( look at the way you walk)
  U ghetto ( c'mon, listen to how you talk)
  U ghetto ( look at the clothes you wear)
  U ghetto ( haa, look at that style of hair)
  U know u ghetto
    [Bishop]
  U know u ghetto pickin boogers and you flick 'em
  And eat with your hands stead of washin 'em, you lick 'em
  You dont know your daddy
  And your hair nappy
  People catch the Holy Ghost in church gettin happy
  U know u ghetto call the crib your house
  Be at funerals screamin, fightin, then fall out
  U know u ghetto sellin clothes that you stole
  And when you go out it's like a fashion show
  U know u ghetto with a name like Shaniqua
  Pookie, Red, and Peanut puttin codes in your beeper
  When you hear stuff, helecopter, city bus
  ????? straight out of the ice cream truck
    [chorus]
    [Bishop]
  U know u ghetto only shop when there's a sale
  Late everywhere you go with an excuse to tell
  U know u ghetto when you pee outside
  Catch bronchitis, get ?????? and sleep tight
  U know u ghetto when y'all stealin cable
  Cussin and DJin on underground radio
  Sayin Yo' Mama jokes
  Fightin on talk shows
  Matress against the wall
  Aint no frame, it's on the floor
  U know u ghetto with dreads, ????, and braids
  Weave, colorful nails, afros, ??????, and ?????
  U ghetto, wont pay back money that you borrow
  And wearin an outfit you gon' return tomorrow
  U know u ghetto bettin on a number
  Usin words like "Uhh-huh", "Naw", and "Uhh-uhh"
  Stead of "Mom" you say "Ma", stead of "Dad" you say "Da"
  You see nickel stores, bar-b-cue stands, and laundromats
    [chorus]
    [Bishop]
  U know u ghetto punchin aint playin house right
  Your kids bare foot playin outside
  Eat food of the ground, say "God, bless the church"
  Let your kids drink beer talkin bout "It gives 'em worms"
  U know u ghetto borrowin your friends clothes
  Ran out of water supplies from people next door
  U know u ghetto heat the house with the oven
  And anybody famous from the hood your cousin
  U know u ghetto cussin out your teacer
  And when somethin happen your mama screamin "Lord Jesus!"
  When you use street knowledge
  Graduate from school and go to jail instead of college
  U know u ghetto bar-b-cuein every holiday
  Pizza man wont even deliver around your way
  Whjere the gang hang out, cornerstore hang out
  Mom's at the gas station beggin for some change now
    [chorus]
