Lyrics
(Mary had a little lamb)
That's a fib, she had two twins though, and one crib
Now she's only fourteen, what a start
But this defect is ground common in these parts
Now life in this world can be such a bitch
And dreams are often torn and shattered and hard to stitch
Negative's the attitude that runs the show
When the stage is the G-H-E-T-T-O
Which is the one to blame when bullets blow
Either Peter, Jane, or John or Joe
But Joe can't shoot a gun, he's always drunk
And Peter's pimping Jane, and John's a punk
Infested are the halls, also the brains
Daddy's broken down from ghetto pains
Mommy's flying high, the truth is shown
The kids are all alone
Cause it's just the ghetto thang
It’s just a ghetto thing (word)
It’s just a ghetto thing (word)
Who ranks the baddest brother, the ones who rule
This title is sought by the coolest fool
Define coolest fool? Easy, the one who needs
Attention in the largest span and loves to lead
Always found at the jams, but never dance
Just provoke violence due, to one glance
The future plays no matter, just the present flow
When the greeting place is the G-H-E-T-T-O
Lies are pointed strong into your skull
Deep within your brain against the wall
To hide or just erase, the glowing note
Of how to use the ghetto as a scapegoat
Truth from Trugoy's mouth is here to scar
Those who blame the G for all bizarre
So open up your vents, and record well
For this is where we stand, for the true tell
Ghetto gained a ghetto name from ghetto ways
Now there could be some ghetto gangs and ghetto play
If ghetto thang can have its way in ghetto range
Then there must be some ghetto love and ghetto change
Though confident they keep it kept, we know for fact
They lie like ghettos form, cause people lack
To see that they must all get out the ghetto hold
The truth they never told
Cause it's just the ghetto thang
It’s just a ghetto thing (word)
It’s just a ghetto thing (word)
Do people really wish when they blow
Out the cake candles, and if so
Is it for the sunken truth which could arise
From out the characters in which the ghetto hides
Roses in the ring supply their shown relief
Granted it's planted by their shown belief
Kill and feed off your own brother man
Has quickly been adopted as, the master plan
Posses of our people has yet to provoke
Freedom or death to them, it's just a joke
What causes this defect, I don't know
Maybe it's the G-H-E-T-T-O
It’s just a ghetto thing (word)
It’s just a ghetto thing (word)
Standing in the rain is nothing felt
When problems hold more value, but never dealt with
Buildings crumbling to the ground
Impact noise is solid sound
But who's the one to say this life is wrong
When ghetto life, is chosen strong?
We seem to be misled about our dreams
But dreams ain't what it seems
When it's just the ghetto thang
It’s just a ghetto thing (word)
It’s just a ghetto thing (word)
It’s just a ghetto thing (word)
It’s just a ghetto thing (word)
It’s just a ghetto thing (word)
It’s just a ghetto thing (word)
It’s just a ghetto thing (word)
It’s just a ghetto thing (word)

RIP Trugoy the dove
DeLa Soul lives forever 💙
Baseline, Lyrics & Flow + Samples are💯
Perfect execution of the De La sound..those Casio lion samples at the end too 🎯

This track crushes anything modern. Timeless beat, not a single f-bomb. You could play this to any kid today and they'd love it.
It does use bitch though.
The samples!!! Man we were so Hip Hop. I remember slipping into a house party with the older kids and dancing to this before it got stopped. 14 and thought I was Dat Nigga. lol!!!!!
They was flowing flowing on this
I was a boy when I heard this first but now I'm twice as old, its still def and thats what matters, its just a ghetto thang 2024.
This was my first album I got moving to Rockaway queens from rural Australia, in Manhattan now in 24’ happy to be alive but dang this album truly is NYC
Gawwdaauymm....when this dropped, I was 18, pushing a Toyota Corolla hatchback with a home made kicker in the back, bumpin this on repeat..I NEVER heard bars like this before.. This was my JOINT! #delasoulforever

De la Soul my first rap CD, absolutely awesome
the truth from trugoys mouth
RIP Dave, nice chat we had in Oslo
Love this song♥️
Guru and too short would set this cut on fire 🔥
That's a good idea, other rappers covering tracks and maybe freestyling their own verse on top? Shit that would rock. I haven't heard much of that.
Smooth as Ice 👌🏼
I'm thinking about buying this album on fun colors cassette tape. Which color is the BEST out of all of them....😂
Beautiful.
The best
Broke Dave mic in Plattsburgh
Rip
Nice they actually spoke with us for a few after show humble as Fuchs
Unlike black thought
And Redman
Who did you after the show
Dissed you
Rest In Peace
Li!
Forever
Hempstead
My verse:
Why does happen so often?
Another brother or sister tripping off something?
A littlt bit, a little bit, to handle life just for a bit
But be quick to grab cheap trick, smashing through families with the heat stick?
Maybe deep in Ghetto world
Love is shared by wise mortals
The hardest grinders with highest markers
Hunts Point natives know about all the holler
Start a family, or a business, or combination of two
All is yours if you are impressive, out here in the ghetto.
Yo this is lowkey gas 🔥🔥
R.I.P. Trugoy
