Bishop - U Know U Ghetto Lyrics
[Lil kids (Bishop):]
U know u ghetto (don't be ashamed)
U ghetto
U ghetto (don't be ashamed)
U ghetto
[Bishop:]
U know u ghetto when you got rats and roaches
With the fan in the window, front door wide open
U know u ghetto when u say "Ain't & Finna"
Change the channel with some pliers, got a hanger for a antenna
U know u ghetto eating chicken everyday
With color weave in your hair and you tricking for a pay
Gold teeth in your mouth
Out talking loud
U know u ghetto when your job is illegal
Live in the projects with furniture like rich people
U know u ghetto when you cook with lard
Only credit that you got is your food stamp card
U know u ghetto when you own section 8
Hair do's everyday, but you pay your bills late
Understand this song, get your jam on
And yo grandma whip you with whatever she get her hands on
[Chorus:]
[Lil kids (Bishop):]
U know u ghetto (look at the way you walk)
U ghetto (c'mon, listen to how you talk)
U ghetto (look at the clothes you wear)
U ghetto (haa, look at that style of hair)
U know u ghetto
[Bishop:]
U know u ghetto picking boogers and you flick 'em
And eat with your hands stead of washing 'em, you lick 'em
You don't know your daddy
And your hair nappy
People catch the Holy Ghost in church getting happy
U know u ghetto call the crib your house
Be at funerals screaming, fighting, then fall out
U know u ghetto selling clothes that you stole
And when you go out it's like a fashion show
U know u ghetto with a name like Shaniqua
Pookie, Red, and Peanut putting codes in your beeper
When you hear stuff, helicopter, city bus
Siren, trains, shots, straight out of the ice cream truck
[Chorus]
[Bishop:]
U know u ghetto only shop when there's a sale
Late everywhere you go with an excuse to tell
U know u ghetto when you pee outside
Catch bronchitis, get full and sleep tight
U know u ghetto when y'all stealing cable
Cussing and DJin on underground radio
Saying Yo' Mama jokes
Fighting on talk shows
Mattress against the wall
Ain't no frame, it's on the floor
U know u ghetto with dreads, plaits, and braids
Weave, colorful nails, afros, wraps, and waves
U ghetto, wont pay back money that you borrow
And wearing an outfit you gon' return tomorrow
U know u ghetto betting on a number
Using words like "Uhh-huh", "Naw", and "Uhh-uhh"
Stead of "Mom" you say "Ma", stead of "Dad" you say "Da"
You see nickel stores, bar-b-cue stands, and laundromats
[Chorus]
[Bishop:]
U know u ghetto punching ain't playing house right
Your kids bare foot playing outside
Eat food of the ground, say "God, bless the church"
Let your kids drink beer talking bout "It gives 'em worms"
U know u ghetto borrowing your friends clothes
Ran out of water supplies from people next door
U know u ghetto heat the house with the oven
And anybody famous from the hood your cousin
U know u ghetto cussing out your teacer
And when something happen your mama screaming "Lord Jesus!"
When you use street knowledge
Graduate from school and go to jail instead of college
U know u ghetto bar-b-cuein every holiday
Pizza man wont even deliver around your way
Where the gang hang out, cornerstore hang out
Mom's at the gas station begging for some change now
[Chorus]

This guy is telling the truth
This one takes me back. Not only cause it's been around for a hot minute but it basically sums up my origin story minus all the violence and dope lol I been to trailer parks and hoods all up and down the east coast and this joint speaks to the poor folks of all shades and ways everywhere 💯✌😂
I don't think this is the song I remembered. The beat is different. So maybe there's another if you ghetto. There's part where hes like you know you ghetto if you pee in the shower. I might have missed it if he said it. But the beat seemed different. It was a older song like this. Maybe even from bet.
Is this song on iTunes at all?
Man! That ThrowBack!
Damn I was 11 turning 12 when this came out. Summer of 2001 classic!! NBA live 2002 and summer camp
I just seen this vid again after all these YEARS MAD I WAS AT FOOTBALL PRACTICE WHEN HE SHOT THIS MY LIL 6ra in this Vid Doe (Big Poppa )

You know you ghetto when you only make one video and fall off

I never thought I'd say "when BET played videos" damn

This song is comical but he truth. I remember having mattresses on wall with no frames. Honestly, when I first got a bed with a frame, it felt awkward, not knowing that having a bed with a frame is what it should be.

Tandra Henry Dr 8erm xxx lo
Tandra Henry You're cute
This song was surprisingly catchy, and funny because it’s true :D
you bring your super sweet koolaid to work in a used fast food cup
you know to cuff your pant legs in da jail jumpsuit
you put hot sauce on your plain pork rinds & shake the bag for a treat
you can get a whole meal for $2.50 at the chicken place run by habib at the old crack spot in Spring Valley
you vehicle was murdered out yet you roll down the windows with the beat bumpin
you get hand me downs from relatives or friends the family when your a kid
you graduate from living on a mattress at your moms or grandmas to your own jail cell
you run outta toilet paper gotta use other paper goods
the "oven heat" run a rise so you bundle up and got a pack of dogs sleeping with you
your bike costs more than your car
you know how to jimmy open locked cars
and start cars when you lock the keys out
you ate conch and your relative feed the fam fishin and seafood
the laundrymat doubles as a hot spot
white folks give you dirty looks for using food stamps
you ride a quad or dirtbike around the hood to the gas station corner store (shout out sheldon, sc)
you been to jail and used toilet paper for everything from napkins to tissue,etc
you have at least one sibling a murderer..
"Ahhhh look at that stylish hair" lol....I been looking for this song for YEARS. I remember seeing it ONE time on BET a long time ago. This was back in the "one hit wonder" days. BET had a tendency of showing some videos one time and one time only (Or sometimes you would have to try to catch your favorite video) lol (those were the days) anyway for the longest I thought Afroman sung this lol..this song stupid as hell NOW but back then this was the shit in a comical way. I miss the old BET, that shit need to go completely off the air now.
tell me why i can't find this song for download ANY WHERE?! not even on iTunes
Chase Moses You might find this on a mixtape in the flea market.
U Know U Ghetto when you gotta sing about how ghetto you are.
I thought I was ghetto listening to this track.mane,I am white and i respect all races.Big ups for the hard work you put into yo grind! I came across this video because I remember the 90s rap and recently my air conditioning broke down at the house, and I was thinking about heatin the house with tha oven if it ever came to that! Thank god it's fixed and songs like these of the 90s can heat it up and cool it up! Much love!
Scott N yo da real MVP
This guy ripped the concept for this song from Kardinal Offishal.
It's still good and funny, but he totally ripped off the song really. lol.
Kardinal track is pretty good but i like bishops better...its funnier
