I'm From The Ghetto - DJ Khaled

We the best

I represent the hood

I represent the ghetto

I represent the people

I represent you

Listen!

All the money in the world couldn’t change me

No diamond rings or them fancy cars

Cause my niggas in the hood woulda let me

Holler this because

(I'm from the ghetto) I’m from the ghetto

(I'm from the projects) I’m from the projects

All over the world and every hood they know

I’m from the ghetto and that’s fo' sho'

(I'm from the ghetto) I’m from the ghetto

(I'm from the projects) I’m from the projects

All over the world and every hood they know

I’m from the ghetto and that’s fo' sho'

Ayo Cali

Walk with me

Yeah that’s what got me here

The chucks the khaki suits

All the swap meet years

The six dollar socks the five dollar rocks

Uncle Greg rest in peace he taught me how to chop

That’s why I love the hood and everything we got

From the ice cream trucks to the forty ounce tops

All white Air Force Ones to fake Jacob watch

A few reasons why I drive the Bentley hard top

Use it in my songs cause I live it on the block

Tattoo it on my face let the whole world watch

I’m that type of nigga y’all made my city bigger dog

Turn the TV off got tired of watchin' Jigga boss

So we told our mom’s we was lookin' for jobs

When we was really in the record store lookin' for Nas

Project of the ghetto, Ghetto and the project

From Compton to being Dre’s number one prospect so

All the money in the world couldn’t change me

No diamond rings or them fancy cars

Cause my niggas in the hood woulda let me

Holler this because

(I'm from the ghetto) I’m from the ghetto

(I'm from the pojects) I’m from the projects

All over the world and every hood they know

I’m from the ghetto and that’s fo sho'

(I'm from the ghetto) I’m from the ghetto

(I'm from the projects) I’m from the projects

All over the world and every hood they know

I’m from the ghetto and that’s fo sho'

Aha!

Yeah ugh

They know

Yeah ugh

Ain’t no help there just food stamps

Weight checks and welfare

Every man gone for self there

Still might need to borrow your medicade card for health care

Yeah if you never got knocked then you made it

Everybody know each other if not they related

You can get shot or get bladed

There’s dudes that got jobs now that had blocks in the eighties

Six months five years for you just to cop out

Ninth or tenth grade is usually when niggas drop out

Fights break out when you wired and start joking

A lot of OG’s retired and started smokin'

House party games of spade sweet kool-aid

Loud music all night till the boys in blue raid

So therefore I could never be too paid

I know where I’m going and where I’m from will get you laid

All the money in the world couldn’t change me

No diamond rings or them fancy cars

Cause my niggas in the hood woulda let me

Holler this because

(I'm from the ghetto) I’m from the ghetto

(I'm from the projects) I’m from the projects

All over the world and every hood they know

I’m from the ghetto and that’s fo sho'

(I'm from the ghetto) I’m from the ghetto

(I'm from the projects) I’m from the projects

All over the world and every hood they know

I’m from the ghetto and that’s fo sho'

Haha

Tell me this how come

Black folks get a little doe

And forget where they come from

Man we used to have good times

But since you moved on up you ain’t cool with us

We still support you tho we don’t see you much

You ain’t the first fool its cool with us

But why you living out your idols dreams

Remember how for you came and help you keep those thangs

Now its cool that your address changed

But I’m tryna holla at my dog and the number ain’t the same

I guess new homies came with his fame

But see true homies will stay the same

Through all the up’s and down’s in your career

A couple wives few kids scattered here

And when you dead or broke without a deal

All the groupies cleared

The ghetto will still be here

All the money in the world couldn’t change me

No diamond rings or them fancy cars

Cause my niggas in the hood woulda let me

Holler this because

(I'm from the ghetto) I’m from the ghetto

(I'm from the projects) I’m from the projects

All over the world and every hood they know

I’m from the ghetto and that’s fo sho'

(I'm from the ghetto) I’m from the ghetto

(I'm from the projects) I’m from the projects

All over the world and every hood they know

I’m from the ghetto and that’s fo sho'
