would you believe what's going down inside my brain

I don't believe you'd understand

pay no mind to the ghetto man



I know the world is cold

well that ain't nothin' strange

but the way you push me down

well it's gettin' old

and I know it's never gonna change

now I'm gonna start pushing back

maybe that'll make you understand

you can't push down on a ghetto man



I think you'd finally understand

once you had to be the ghetto man

it's a ghetto man



well I've got more love than money

and I got more hope than fame

I'l like to buy the world from under you someday

and leave you sleeping in the rain

and eating from the drain



maybe that will make you understand

once you had to be the ghetto man

it's a ghetto man
