[Verse 1: Scarface]

I dedicate this to my road dogs struggling

I hope this letter finds you with peace and all hustling

I'm busting, for y'all niggas, 'cause ya'll my niggas on the reala

We grind in these streets to stack some scrilla

For the dealers, you stay up on your P's and your Q's

And never underestimate with these who do

You get the paper then get out the streets, and y'all remember

You never let the money and the dope to meet

And I could give a G to a nigga starvin'

So we can floss and blow weed when he with the warden

How many niggas on the cut who don't give a fuck

Survivin' struggles, hitting licks after I pick 'em up

I'm just a homie out the hood who done did something

And while you frontin', I'm ten years and I'm still bumpin'

You heard me homie

Fuck tryna cater to the dumdums, they call you niggas

And niggas still forgettin' where they come from

I bring the real for all my homies out grindin'

And help your homie get on his feet, and we all riding

'Stangs, but thangs in this game and that's true

Be sure that you respecting the power, and that you

Never forget the neighborhood where it started

The ghetto South Acres my hood and my heart's with the...

[Chorus]

Ghetto

Ghetto

I can't get out of here

Ghetto (Ghetto)

Ghetto

I can't get out of here

[Verse 2: K.B.]

I represent that southeast, that Southeast Atlanta, muthafucka

Decatur, where you at? (One time) Bring the ruckus

'Cause muthafuckas been talkin' that shit for so long

But now I'm down with this Interface clique and it's on

Give a fuck where you from, nigga, Decatur always represented

And I know that for a fact, I lived in it

Now look at me, yup, K.B. still rappin'

And for you niggas talking that shit, I'm still scrappin'

Gorilla slappin' niggas with all that hot cappin'

Niggas thinkin' they can fake their death, it ain't happenin'

When you think we slackin', that Campbellton Road steady packin'

The home of the big dope slangin' and car jacking

Nigga, I ain't acting, Eiffel Court up in this bitch

From the O.P's and all the way down to Eastwick

Even Flat Shoals and Glenwood, it's all good

Boulder Crest to Columbia Drive, it's all hood

The ghetto

[Chorus]

Ghetto

Ghetto

I can't get out of here

[Verse 3: Ice Cube]

I got to give it up to my ghetto niggas, and that ghetto bitch

Looking for them ghetto licks, getting ghetto rich

Knowing that the scheme in the book flip the game

Quick to get my telephone turned on in my mama's name

This ghetto slang is some shit that can beat college

You ain't fucking with this hustler with street knowledge

9 to 5, still flipping 20's on the side, drop it by the fence

Making dollars out of fifteen cents

Got the big body Benz with the wheels on it

A cell phone with no bills on it

Ghetto ass, got to feel on it, still want it

Baby, kneel on it, and I can put the kill on it

You got this rap nigga lying like a singer

Put your baby to sleep, and turn off your ringer

You can catch me on Van Wick looking sick in a six

With somethin' Swiss on my wrist, now picture this

You better blow, 'cause too many niggas up at Mr. Jackson's do'

Y'all niggas got to go

The ghetto

[Chorus]

Ghetto

Ghetto

I can't get out of here

Ghetto (Ghetto)

[Verse 4: Willie D]

Fifth Ward is the site where the fight for life is twice as shife

Advice to my homies who write me in the pen

Willie know the cell is hell

But keep sending me mail with that Liberty Bell

So I can tell you what’s the haps, and who got capped for riches

And send you pictures of naked bitches

I remember when I used to get beat with extension cord

And be ashamed to show my friends where my house was

Started stealing out my mama’s purse

Now that she’s gone, she lives through my songs and it sure hurts

How come we treat our children worse than we were treated in the ghetto?

And turn our women into widows?

Sick of seeing my homies that I ate with, drank with

Played with, laughed with, dead in a casket

To my folks, we can reach the top, but

You gotta shit or get off the pot, fuck

You see your chance, baby, take it

I was the last motherfucker in the world that they thought would make it

But look at me now, sex on the beach in Greece

Straight from the motherfucking streets of the ghetto

[Chorus]

Ghetto

Ghetto

I can't get out of here

Ghetto (Ghetto)

Ghetto

I can't get out of here
