De La Soul - Ghetto Thang Lyrics

Mary had a little lamb that's a fib

She had two twins though an' one crib

Now she's only fourteen what a start

But this effect is ground common in these parts

Now life in this world can be such a bitch

An' dreams are often torn an' shattered an' hard to stitch

Negative the attitude that runs the show

When the stage is the g h e t t o

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

An' peter's pimpin' jane an' john a punk

Infested are the halls also the brains

Daddy's broken down from ghetto pains

Mommy's flyin' high the truth is shown

The kids are all alone

'cause it's just the ghetto thang

It's just the ghetto thang word

It's just the ghetto thang word

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 an' 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 greetin' place is the g h e t t o

Lies are pointed strong into your skull

Deep within your brain against the wall

To hide or just erase a glowin' 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 an' 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 games an' ghetto play

If ghetto thang can have its way in ghetto range

Then there must be some ghetto love an' 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

It's just the ghetto thang word

Do people really wish when they blow

Out the cake candles? an' 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 relief

Granted it's planted by their shown belief

Kill an' 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 is 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

It's just the ghetto thang word

Standin' in the rain is nothin' felt

When problems hold more value but never dealt with

Buildings crumblin' 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

'coz dreams ain't what it seems

When it's just the ghetto thang

It's just the ghetto thang word

It's just the ghetto thang word

It's just the ghetto thang word

It's just the ghetto thang word

It's just the ghetto thang word

It's just the ghetto thang word

It's just the ghetto thang word

It's just the ghetto thang word

Word word word word
