Ghetto Culture Testo

From yo hood to my hood
From hood rats to those ghetto ❝I wish you would❝s!❝
From Chingy❝s Jackpot cheddar
To Aaliyah❝s 4 page letter
Hip Hop is here, there, in everything, every where
In that 12-year-old boy❝s nappy but happy cornrowed hair
From ya hat to ya pants, down to the force one❝s you wear
From ❝You got me twisted❝ and ❝why you comin at me sideways❝
To the scrapers burnin❝ rubber on the high ways
And hoopties that don❝t work, parked in the driveways
From plastic spinnaz and breath that be kickin❝
To ya mama❝s cornbread and hot sauce on fried chicken
You can❝t run from it, it❝s there, but wait you can❝t see it, where?
You see them children with the stunnaz, and they hands in the air?
Those girls faintin❝ watchin Usher rip off the clothes he wear
It ain❝t just hip hop, what is it? it❝s culture
The Afro American soul expressed so pure
But then there❝s a bad side
But there❝s nothing to hide
A 9-year-old breakin into parkin meters
Just so he can pay his friend to watch ❝Cousin Skeeter❝
Children who think they can❝t walk down the street without a gun
Daddies with no jobs that ain❝t never seen their son
Mammaz on welfare
Daddyz don❝t live there
Mamma tryin get on medicare
Workin two jobs just to buy her son Trix cereal
Being strangled by the jaws of life, lookin for a miracle
Livin in apartments with cockroaches as roommates
Payin your bills just a few months too late
Mama always said, ❝God plans your life for you❝
Well I think god messed up on our blueprint
Our lives must be a misprint
A typo, or maybe we just for got to read the fine print
Go home and go to sleep
Whether you❝re in a bed, in a box, or on the street
And while you❝re listinen to Mob Deep
Think about your life and the days you wish you could repeat.
