U R Ghetto 2002 Lyrics

** "You're ghetto!" added before every line starting with 'you know...' **

 

 [Kardinal Offishall]

 Take it low low low

 Yo, yo, yo

 You know you ghetto when the money you got is dead wrong

 It's royalties from biting Kardinal's song

 You know you ghetto when you thinkin you a star

 And you're waiting in line at the back for drinks at the bar

 You know you ghetto when you try to do a ghetto song of your own down coming out down south

 You thought Kardinal wouldn't buss you in your mouf

 You know you ghetto when you think you number one with the flow

 And you shoutin' out yourself on the radio

 You know you ghetto when the polo that you rock

 Is on sale at TJ Max from you head to your socks

 You know you ghetto when you stuck inside a jail

 And them Gators on your feets cost more then your bail

 You know you ghetto when you think you represent

 But them niggas in the street ain't spendin' a red cent

 Ain't tryin' to buy your single, nigga hell no!

 If you dubbin' this right now 'stead of buyin' my album

 You're

 

 CHORUS [Kardinal Offishall] (Circle crew)

 (You're Ghetto)

 Ghetto's what ya are, when ya think you a star

 Flossin' on the street in the rental car

 (You're Ghetto)

 Ghetto's what ya are when ya think that your nice

 But the opposite don't look twice

 You're G to the H to the E to the T T O

 (You're Ghetto)

 You're G to the H to the E to the T T O

 

 [Kardinal]

 You know you ghetto when your boys push crack

 And you buyin' crack from them so you can go smoke out back

 You know you ghetto when your moms part of your crew

 And your nigga's hanging out to get closer to her too

 You know you ghetto when I don't know who you are but nigga I know your name

 Cause I can read it on your chain

 You know you ghetto when ya, rapping along

 And ya can relate to the rhyme I'm spittin' in the song

 You know you ghetto when ya best clothes, is your dress clothes

 And dress is Paco jeans and Jelly slippers, namean?

 You know you ghetto when ya askin' for some cigarettes

 'Cause you can't afford hash to mix with that weed in your stash

 You know you ghetto when you tryin' to get your flirt on

 And that cock blockin' nigga got the same Gucci shirt on

 You know you ghetto when you own two cars

 And you need ten from me to buy drinks at the bar

 

 CHORUS [Kardinal] (Circle crew)

 (You're Ghetto)

 Ghetto's what ya are when ya think that you're fly

 But the home girls walk right by

 (You're Ghetto)

 Ghetto's what ya are when ya think ya got clout

 But your hair weave keeps fallin' out

 You're G to the H to the E to the T T O

 (You're Ghetto)

 You're G to the H to the E to the T T O

 

 [Kardinal]

 Yo

 You know you ghetto when you bring home your boys

 And your auntie's lookin' at your crew like they sex toys

 You know you ghetto when your brothers paid from jugglin'

 And you driving his Range, talking 'bout nigga we strugglin'

 You know you ghetto when ya sittin' down in class

 And dang, a cockroach went and crawled out ya book bag

 You know you ghetto when ya tried to rap like DMX

 And you get your breddren to do you video because you can't afford Little X

 You know you ghetto when rap is part of your dream

 But you can't stay out past one cause your mom runs your street team

 You know you ghetto when ya savin' to buy a key

 But your grand pop is still on the corner pushin' that weed

 You know you ghetto when you know you not Jamaican

 But your clothes say Tommy Sean John nigga you fakin'

 You know you ghetto when ya like every other brotha

 Rappin' loud, walking down the street tryin' to be discovered

 

 CHORUS [Kardinal] (Circle crew)

 (You're Ghetto)

 Ghetto's what ya are, when ya think you a star

 Flossin' on the street in the rental car

 (You're Ghetto)

 Ghetto's what ya are when ya think that your nice

 But the opposite don't look twice

 You're G to the H to the E to the T T O

 (You're Ghetto)

 You're G to the H to the E to the T T O

 (You're Ghetto)

 

 [Kardinal Offishall]

 Going out, to that home girl

 And the house niggas

 at the Burlington Coat Factory

 ...

 Know what I'm saying

 *laughter*

 You're ghetto!

 ...

 And by the way you are biting
