Half Ghetto

[Intro]
Claiming two ghetto streets that don’t even cross (X2)

[Verse 1: Heath McNease]
One-tenth fake / six percent poser / four percent is fraudulent and wannabe’s a quarter / five percent is liar now you almost did your quota / when the semi-ghetto part collapsed the art of getting over / it's a token book solidify my nerd status / but I respect the art too much to wink and smirk at it / I worked at it on some bookworm habits / caught stealing boxes on some big perm status / a little twenty twin twin’s never any man’s friend / simply sinners never ending in a win-win / neck back neck and my back / it’s crackhead .. Craig on the trac / I got the memo early that I’d never be black / I just embraced the culture and they loved me back / you never got the memo when you talk and they laugh / you've been a fourth ghetto kiddo since your mom was a half /

[Hook]
You can do the math / but you ain’t even half / rep the ghetto but it never reps back / and you can shout till you’re hoarse (claiming two ghetto streets that don’t even cross) / (X2)

[Verse 2: Goldinchild]
You got a question if violence begets violence? / just take a look at our urban environments / filled with bullet holes and the sound of police sirens / innocent little children weaned off the silence / when they become teens we fiend for their compliance / locking them away at the first sign of defiance / thought we overcame enslavements of whips and chains / we slave 9-5 to push whips and rock chains / do it for the culture y’all charge it to the game / nobody’s keeping score they just bartering their fame / prostitute the ghetto with the image you portray / treat it like a whore just for your financial gain / studio thugs making profits off the pain / nobody even know you in the streets that you claim / every man will give account of the words that he say / truth is out of child's eyes man I seen it every day /

[Verse 3: Playdough]
The tongue of a man is a tough thing to govern / it does what it can and what it wants seems stubborn / the hood to the islands we all seen suburbs / Agg City boy where the crips still southern / the school still private the pool still public / the streets still riot these fools still loved it / the hurricane harbor the Six Flag ranger / the cowboy urbanite Dig Doug dangla' / Cravens Park whatchu know about the .. / you at the ice rink skating on the first floor / claiming two ghetto streets that don't exist / with ya E-N-T on ya necklace / still don't care about the guns that you holding / you still ain't strong enough to lift em or explode em / trust me that is not heat / you copped that at the Trader's Village swap meet /
