All the money in the world couldn't change me
No diamond rings or them fancy cars
'Cause my ni- 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 (ayo Cali)
All over the world and every hood they know (walk with me)
I'm from the ghetto and that's fo' sho' (I'm from the ghetto)
Yeah, that's what got me here
The Chucks the khaki suits
All the swap meet years
The six dollar sock,s 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 watches
A few reasons 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 ni- 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
(World war street)
