POS: (Mary had a little lamb) That's a fib she had two twins though And one crib Now she's only fourteen what a start But this defect is ground common in these parts Now life in this world can be such a bitch And dreams are often torn and shattered and hard to stitch Negative's the attitude that runs the show When the stage is the G H E T T o DOVE: Which is the one to blame when bullets blow Either Peter, Jane, or John or Joe But Joe can't shoot a gun, he's always drunk And Peter's pimping Jane, and John's a punk Infested are the halls, also the brains Daddy's broken down from ghetto pains Mommy's flying high, the truth is shown The kids are all alone
'Cause it's just the ghetto thang IT'S JUST THE GHETTO THANG (WORD) POS: Who ranks the baddest brother, the ones who rule This title is sought by the coolest fool Define coolest fool? Easy, the one who needs Attention in the largest span and loves to lead Always found at the jams, but never dance Just provoke violence due to one glance The future plays no matter, just the present flow When the greeting place is the G-H-E-T-T-O DOVE: Lies are pointed strong into your skull Deep within your brain against the wall To hide or just erase the glowing note Of how to use the ghetto as a scapegoat Truth from Trugoy's mouth is here to scar Those who blame the G for all bizarre So open up your vents and record well For this is where we stand, for the true tell Ghetto gained a ghetto name from ghetto ways Now there could be some ghetto gangs and ghetto play If ghetto thang can have its way in ghetto rage Then there must be some ghetto love and ghetto change Though confident they keep it kept, we know for fact They lie like ghettos form, 'cause people lack To see that they must all get out the ghetto hold The truth they never told 'Cause it's just the ghetto thang IT'S JUST THE GHETTO THANG (WORD) POS: Do people really wish when they blow Out the cake candles, and if so Is it for the sunken truth which could arise >From out the characters in which the ghetto hides Roses in the ring supply their shown releif Granted it's planted by their shown beleif Kill and feed off your own brother man Has quickly been adopted as the master plan Posses of our people has yet to provoke Freedom or death to them, it's just a joke What causes this defect, I don't know Maybe it's the G-H-E-T-T-O IT'S JUST THE GHETTO THANG (WORD) Standing in the rain is nothing felt When problems hold more value, but never dealt with Buildings crumbling to the ground Impact noise is solid sound But who's the one to say this life is wrong When ghetto life is chosen strong We seem to be misled about our dreams But dreams ain't what it seems When it's just the ghetto thang IT'S JUST THE GHETTO THANG (WORD)
