(feat. Thara)



[Intro - Fabolous]

From hood to hood they see what's hood

And know who I be! uh!



[Verse - Fabolous]

I got the Yankee leaning, just sittin over to browse

And the G4 is just getting over the clouds

You can't tell me that I ain't what's up right now

I got a bottle of Tequila upside down

There's some chicks wit boyfriends that are up tight now

Cause they know the big 'dog' had a 'pups' like wow

I'm stuck in my city ways

Heading over seas wit a zip of New York City's haze

You rats can keep running through your city's maze

Until you get sprayed with the pesticide

I know you in that hole, you best to hide

Like the rest who tried, who went and testified

Of course your girl wanna slide over and be rubbed

And don't mind taking rides over the G dubs

I ride Rovers on Spre-dubs

Please don't be another dude who died over a ski dub, chill



[Chorus - Fabolous & (Thara)]

From hood to hood they see what's hood and know who I be

From block to block they see it, not can't know who I be

From state to state they cannot hate, they know who I be

From the east to west, through the midwest and downsouth it's Ghetto!

(It's Ghetto-oh!) It's Ghetto! (It's Ghetto-oh!) It's Ghetto!

(It's Ghetto-oh!) It's Ghetto! (It's Ghetto-ohh!) It's Ghetto!



[Verse - Fabolous]

I get it jumping like a lo lo '64

And bet they hop on it like a pogo stick pro

I'm chilling wit these go go chicks though

That do the kind of things that belong in a porno flick yo

You know it's him and the gang

Wit the bling worked on, that remind you of lemon meringue

But remember the thangs, ain't too far

And y'all wanna hear em go bang bang bang

Like John Witherspoon, I'm watching em closely

I know the snakes gon' slither soon

The two toned Maybach's getting delivered soon

The back feels like sitting in the living room

I'm so hard bodied like the suit on Batman

It's that man that back to back plat' scan

I'm back for the third time, I make words rhyme for a living

You probably heard I'm still ghetto, nigga!



[Chorus]



[Verse - Fabolous]

They tried to put two 9's on me, just like Gretzky

But my lawyer saw through it just like wet tees

I smoke till my eyes look just like Jet Li's

On islands where the water's blue just like Pepsi

Yeah the trigger just might get squeezed

And the slugs will skip over your waves, just like jet skis

Hoes know Ghetto from New York, call em the Fresh Prince

And throw rose petals when I walk

They love how I came back hard like good blow

And I'm still a heart throb to a hood ho

That's what hood though, yes I would know

That's cause I'm in the streets like man hole covers

Rims look like blades when a fan blow brother

I'm waiting on a storm to land, roast others

The man no other, cause I been in it

My time is money, y'all couldn't buy ten minutes

I'm gone! catch up!



[Chorus]
