Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
long nails, pack of weave
dutches and a bag of weed
that's all a bitch like you need
you from the f**king ghetto
that Reggie Miller that you push
don't be burning like that Cush
f**king with the ghetto
moscato filling up my cup
run outs we don't give a f**k
new folk get me so f**ked up
coming from the ghetto
so watch it when you in tha south
and watch what you say out your mouth
and watch yo step cuz slippers count
when you in the ghetto
wife beater, nigga Tim's
slide in with some bigger rims
flip a key and hit the flee
and go an get some bigger gyms
tha hood is in the building man
I'll get you in your feelings man
It's some s**t outside your house
with rims tha size of ceiling fans
I'm the pride of King Kong
I'm stomping through the Congo
I can make it clap clap, beat it like a bongo
cat got your tongue
you tell that pussy let you tongue go
wouldn't of did this s**t right here

chorus
ghetto, country, hood, ratchet

and my people love it too, cuz we ghetto

hanging out yo boy shorts
camouflage stiletto's
and diamonds on her metro
tatted silhouettes, cuz wet is just so fu**ing ghetto

chorus (1X)
verse 3

oh now you call it bedrock
lace front, long lashes
looking for a trap star

now watch him role and watch him stick
when you in the ghetto
pills, dro, kid, blow
and people you don't wanna know
weed bags, corner stores
it's so muthaf**in ghetto
