DJ Khaled - I'm From The Ghetto

[Intro: DJ Khaled]

We the besssst..

I represent the hood..

I represent the ghetto..

I represent the people..

I represent YOU - LISTENNN!!!

[Chorus: Dre & The Game]

All the money in the world couldn't change me

No diamond rings or the fancy cars

Cause my niggas in the hood woulda left me

Holdin 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 thats fo sho'

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

(I'm from the projects) I'm from the projects (Ayo Khaled)

All over the world and every hood they know

(Walk with me) I'm from the ghetto and thats fo sho'

(I'm from the ghetto)

[Verse 1: The Game]

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, the fake Jacob watch

A few reasons why I drive the Bently 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 dawg

Dog turn the TV off, got tired of watchin Jigga boss

So we told our moms we is lookin for jobs

When we was really in the record store lookin for Nas

Project or the ghetto, ghetto and the projects

From Compton to being Dre's number one prospect, so

[Chorus: Dre & Jadakiss]

All the money in the world couldn't change me

No diamond rings or the fancy cars

Cause my niggas in the hood woulda left me

Holdin 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' (Uh-huh)

(I'm from the ghetto) I'm from (Hahhh-hahhh) the ghetto

(I'm from the projects) I'm from (Yeah) the projects (Uhh)

All over the world and every hood they know (They know)

I'm from the ghetto and thats fo sho' (I'm from the ghetto)

[Verse 2: Jadakiss]

Uhh, Ain't no help there

Just food stamps, weight checks and welfare (uh-huh)

Every man gone for self there

Still might need to borrow your medicate card for health care

Yeah, if you never got knocked then you made it (ha-ha)

Everybody know eachother if not they related

You can get shot or get bladed

There's dudes that got jobs now that had blocks in the 80's

Six months, five years for you just to cop out (yup)

Ninth or tenth grade is usually when niggas drop out (yup)

Fights break out when you wired and start joking (huh)

Alot 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

Get em

[Chorus: Dre & Trick Daddy]

All the money in the world couldn't change me

No diamond rings or the fancy cars

Cause my niggas in the hood woulda left me

Holdin 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 thats 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 (ha-ha)

I'm from the ghetto and thats fo sho' (I'm from the ghetto) (Ha)

[Verse 3: Trick Daddy]

Tell me this how come

Black folks get a lil doe and forget where they come from (come from)

Man we used to have good times (oh)

But since you moved on up guess you ain't cool with us (uh-uh)

We still support you tho we don't see you much (yup)

You ain't the first fool it's cool with us

But why you living out your idols dreams

Remember how far you came and help you keep them thangs? (show up)

Now its cool that your address changed

But I'm tryna holla at my dog and the number ain't the same (damn)

I guess new homies came with his fame (say what)

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 (that's right)

And when you dead or broke without a deal

All the groupies cleared, the ghetto'll still be here, haa

[Chorus: Dre]

All the money in the world couldn't change me

No diamond rings or the fancy cars

Cause my niggas in the hood woulda left me

Holdin 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 thats 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 thats fo sho' (I'm from the ghetto)
