DJ Khaled Feat. Trick Daddy, The Game, Jadakiss & Dre - I'm From The Ghetto lyrics

rate me

We the best<br />

I represent the hood<br />

I represent the ghetto<br />

I represent the people<br />

I represent you, listen<br />

<br />

All the money in the world couldn't change me<br />

No diamond rings or them fancy cars<br />

'Cause my niggas in the hood woulda let me<br />

Holler this because<br />

<br />

(I'm from the ghetto)<br />

I'm from the ghetto<br />

(I'm from the projects)<br />

I'm from the projects<br />

All over the world and every hood they know<br />

I'm from the ghetto and that's fo sho'<br />

<br />

(I'm from the ghetto)<br />

I'm from the ghetto<br />

(I'm from the projects)<br />

I'm from the projects<br />

<br />

All over the world and every hood they know<br />

I'm from the ghetto and that's fo sho'<br />

(I'm from the ghetto)<br />

<br />

Yeah, that's what got me here<br />

The chucks, the khaki suits, all the swap meet years<br />

The six dollar socks, the five dollar rocks<br />

Uncle Greg rest in peace, he taught me how to chop<br />

<br />

That's why I love the hood and everything we got<br />

From the ice cream trucks to the forty ounce tops<br />

All white Air Force Ones to fake Jacob watch<br />

A few reasons I drive the Bentley hard top<br />

<br />

Use it in my songs 'cause I live it on the block<br />

Tattoo it on my face, let the whole world watch<br />

I'm that type of nigga y'all made my city bigger, dawg<br />

Turn the TV off, got tired of watchin' Jigga boss<br />

<br />

So we told our mom's, we was lookin' for jobs<br />

We was really in the record store lookin' for Nas<br />

Project of the ghetto, ghetto and the project<br />

From Compton to being Dre's number one prospect so<br />

<br />

All the money in the world couldn't change me<br />

No diamond rings or them fancy cars<br />

'Cause my niggas in the hood woulda let me<br />

Holler this because<br />

<br />

(I'm from the ghetto)<br />

I'm from the ghetto<br />

(I'm from the projects)<br />

I'm from the projects<br />

All over the world and every hood they know<br />

I'm from the ghetto and that's fo sho'<br />

<br />

(I'm from the ghetto)<br />

I'm from the ghetto<br />

(I'm from the projects)<br />

I'm from the projects<br />

<br />

All over the world and every hood they know<br />

I'm from the ghetto and that's fo sho'<br />

(I'm from the ghetto)<br />

<br />

Ain't no help there, just food stamps<br />

Weight checks and welfare<br />

Every man gone for self there<br />

You still might need to borrow<br />

Your medicate card for Health Care<br />

<br />

Yeah, if you never got knocked then you made it<br />

Everybody know each other if not they related<br />

You can get shot or get bladed<br />

There's dudes that got jobs now that had blocks in the eighties<br />

<br />

Six months, five years for you just to cop out<br />

Ninth or tenth grade is usually when niggas drop out<br />

Fights break out when you wired and start joking<br />

A lot of OG's retired and started smokin'<br />

<br />

House party games of spade sweet Kool-Aid<br />

Loud music all night till the boys in blue raid<br />

So therefore, I could never be too paid<br />

I know where I'm going and where I'm from will get you laid<br />

<br />

All the money in the world couldn't change me<br />

No diamond rings or them fancy cars<br />

'Cause my niggas in the hood woulda let me<br />

Holler this because<br />

<br />

(I'm from the ghetto)<br />

I'm from the ghetto<br />

(I'm from the projects)<br />

I'm from the projects<br />

All over the world and every hood they know<br />

I'm from the ghetto and that's fo sho'<br />

<br />

(I'm from the ghetto)<br />

I'm from the ghetto<br />

(I'm from the projects)<br />

I'm from the projects<br />

<br />

All over the world and every hood they know<br />

I'm from the ghetto and that's fo sho'<br />

(I'm from the ghetto)<br />

<br />

Tell me this, how come, black folks get a little dough<br />

And forget where they come from?<br />

Man, we used to have good times<br />

But since you moved on up, yes, you ain't cool with us<br />

<br />

We still support you know, we don't see you much<br />

You ain't the first fool, it's cool with us?<br />

But why you living out your idols dreams<br />

Remember how far you came and help you keep them thangs<br />

<br />

Now it's cool that your address changed<br />

But I'm tryna holla at my dog and the number ain't the same<br />

I guess new homies came with his fame<br />

But see, true homies will stay the same<br />

<br />

Through all the up's and down's in your career<br />

A couple wives, few kids scattered here<br />

And when you dead or broke without a deal<br />

All the groupies cleared, the ghetto will still be here<br />

<br />

All the money in the world couldn't change me<br />

No diamond rings or them fancy cars<br />

'Cause my niggas in the hood woulda let me<br />

Holler this because<br />

<br />

(I'm from the ghetto)<br />

I'm from the ghetto<br />

(I'm from the projects)<br />

I'm from the projects<br />

All over the world and every hood they know<br />

I'm from the ghetto and that's fo sho'<br />

<br />

(I'm from the ghetto)<br />

I'm from the ghetto<br />

(I'm from the projects)<br />

I'm from the projects<br />

<br />

All over the world and every hood they know<br />

I'm from the ghetto and that's fo sho'<br />

(I'm from the ghetto)<br />

<br />
