[Verse One]In the ghetto, you think life is hardFood stamps and to' up carsWall to wall dirty orange carpetSittin in a bucket, hopin you can start itAnd ride around to the liquor storeCan't get a job get drunk some moreYou betta stop trippin on dem stereotypesCause in the ghetto there's a good lifeWe ain't starvin like Marvin, won't see no roachwhen ya chill wit the rich folks in the hoodYou're sittin on leather watchin big screensbought by the dope fiendsSmokin, and what about the brother wit the good jobsSavin money, and workin hardBought a house for his wife and kidsYa only got one life to liveAnother brother got some cocaineYou know his face, but don't know his nameYou know he got the sack maynAnd he's sittin on a fat bankSeven cars at his house in the drivewayBenz so clean don't roll it just fly awayCause folks got money in the ghetto.. yeah you know[Chorus One]Hey hey hey.. whatcha got to say (There's money in the ghetto)Hollywoooooood!Havin money in the ghettooo[Verse Two]Money in the ghetto ain't nothin newIt's been like that, way before youwas even born, get up from the down strokeChocolate City for the black folksSay it loud in ya hot pantsMan child in the promised landI take you back to Iceberg Slimand all the players that came before himIf you a everyday hustler, get your moneyCause what they do to black man ain't funnyAll the time tryin to put us the penYou get paroled and then they send you againAll the homies in the hood gettin paidYou might have left but the money stayedIn the ghetto, it ain't all about drugsGettin paid doin all kinds of stuffOnly rule on the streets is don't get caughtunless your hustle ain't breakin the lawAnd even though rich folks got it goodWe sittin on 'em fat in the hoodI'm ridin on some gold onesSmokin dank and it's potentAsk them fools, cause they knowThere's money in the ghettoChorus One[Verse Three]I got money baby, just tell me the priceCause Short Dawg ain't nuttin niceI always hit the town wit my boy Ben FranklinSpend fo', get an ounce of dank thenrich nigga get high relaxinIf I bust a Ben Frank' get some Andrew JacksonsFive twenties for a hundred dollar billYou know the math, let's make a dealOn the one dollar bill if you look on the frontYou find the face of George WashingtonMake money baby, that's all I doThat's how I know Thomas Jefferson is on the twoAbraham Lincoln got shot and diedFreed the slaves so they put him on the fiveAnd Hamilton, my old time friendThey put his face on the front of the tenThese are the dead, presidentsFrom the hood and they representThe American dream for the average minorityMake your money get some weed and a fortyI'm on the Eastside livin like a kingKick back watchin fifty inch screensBounce to the Westside, hit the studioand spend my money in the ghetto[Chorus Two]Hey hey hey.. whatcha got to say (They got money in the ghetto)Hollywoooooood!Havin money in the ghettooo[Verse Four]Nowadays if you can't say a rap, or play sportsYou might just come up shortAnd they always say the same thingsDon't be a gangster or a dopefiendGet your high school diploma, go to collegeGet a degree and start makin dollarsOnly one thing wrong, and it's a tripInner city schools don't teach us shitGot us stuck on stupid, straight S.O.S.Can't get nothin, but they payin the rest of them foolsall around the world in the other countriesThey should be spendin that money right herein the state of CaliforniaYou graduate and can't spell diplomaDip to the hood and get richSlangin rocks to a smoked out bitchNo school'll come close to thatA few transaction make my pockets fatI make a lot of money and it ain't no lieI'll probably ball til the day I dieAnd if I didn't, so what?I bet you I'd still come upCause there's a whole lot of money in the ghetto.. yeah you knowChorus Two
