    Lyrics:
    Even though the streets are bumpy, lights burned out
    Dope fiends die with a pipe in their mouth
    Old school buddies not doing it right
    Every day it's the same and it's the same every night
    I wouldn't shoot you, bro, but I'd shoot that fool
    If he played me close and tried to test my cool
    #TooShort #Theghetto #shortdogsinthehouse #HipHop #Rap

    True Story: Growing up I had a VHS cassette tape with my father performing/lip syncing this song holding me in his arms. I was about 3 years old. Unfortunately my father passed away when I was 8. I had this tape all the way until I was about 18 and it got lost when we lost our home. This song has a lot of sentimental value to me. I will forever love it!!!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

      The ghetto
      The ghetto (talking 'bout the ghetto)
      The ghetto (hmm)
      The ghetto (funky, funky ghetto)
      Even though the streets are bumpy, lights burned out
      Dope fiends die with a pipe in their mouths
      Old school buddies not doing it right
      Every day it's the same
      And it's the same every night
      I wouldn't shoot you, bro, but I'd shoot that fool
      If he played me close and tried to test my cool
      Every day I wonder just how I'll die
      Only thing I know is how to survive
      There's only one rule in the real world
      And that's to take care of you, only you and yours
      Keep dealing with the hard times day after day
      Might deal me some dope, but then crime don't pay
      Black man tried to break in my house again
      Thought he got off the dope doing time in the pen
      Even though my brothers do me just like that
      I get a lot of love so I'm giving it back to the ghetto
      The ghetto (talking 'bout the ghetto)
      The ghetto (funky, funky ghetto)
      The ghetto (trying to live our lives)
      The ghetto (won't ya tell 'em 'bout it, Too $hort?)
      So just peep the game and don't call it crap
      'Cause to me, life is one hard rap
      Even though my sister smoked crack cocaine
      She was nine months pregnant, ain't nothing changed
      600 million on a football team
      And her baby died just like a dope fiend
      The story I tell is so incomplete
      Five kids in the house, no food to eat
      Don't look at me and don't ask me why
      Mama's next door getting high
      Even though she's got five mouths to feed
      She'd rather spend her money on a H-I-T
      I always tell the truth about things like this
      I wonder if the mayor overlooked that list
      Instead of adding to the task force, send some help
      Waiting on him, I'd better help myself
      Housing authority and the O.P.D
      All these guns just to handle me in the ghetto
      The ghetto (people are dying)
      The ghetto (children are crying)
      The ghetto (don't have enough to eat)
      The ghetto (don't even have shoes on their feet)
      The ghetto
      Even though they put us down and call us animals
      We make real big banks and buy brand new clothes
      Drive fancy cars, make love to stars
      Never really saying just who we are
      We use alias names like Too $hort
      Sell you stuff you might kill for
      Young kids grow up and that's all they know
      Didn't teach him in school, now he's slangin' dope
      Only thing he knows is how to survive
      But will he kill another brother before he dies?
      In the ghetto, you keep one eye open
      All day long, just hoping and hoping
      You can pay your bills and not drink too much
      Then the problems of life you'll be throwing up
      Like me, but you don't see
      Ten years from now, where will you be?
      The ghetto (talking 'bout the ghetto)
      Trying to get out of the ghetto
      The ghetto (talking 'bout the ghetto)
      But I got no place to go
      The ghetto (talking 'bout the ghetto)
      Trying to survive in the heart of the ghetto
      The ghetto (talking 'bout the ghetto)
      Ha, 'cause that's the only place that I know
      So much game in a Too $hort rap
      Can't be white and whites can't be black
      Why you wanna act like someone else?
      All you gotta do is just be yourself
      We're all the same color underneath
      Short dog is in the house you'd better listen to me
      Never be ashamed of what you are
      Proud to be black, stand tall at heart
      Even though some people give you no respect
      Be intelligent, when you put 'em in check
      'Cause when you're ignorant, you get treated that way
      And when they throw you in jail, you got nothing to say
      So if you don't listen, it's not my fault
      I'll be getting paid and you'll be paying the cost
      Sitting in the jailhouse, running your mouth
      While me and my people try to get out
      The ghetto (talking 'bout the ghetto)
      Talking 'bout the ghetto
      The ghetto (talking 'bout the ghetto)
      Funky, funky ghetto
      The ghetto (talking 'bout the ghetto)
      Trying to survive
      The ghetto (talking 'bout the ghetto)
      Trying to stay alive
      The ghetto (talking 'bout the ghetto)
      Funky, funky ghetto
      The ghetto (talking 'bout the ghetto)
      Got no place else to go
      The ghetto (talking 'bout the ghetto)
      Trying to stay alive
      The ghetto (talking 'bout the ghetto)
