[Intro]
Yeah, n***a
I'm just a ghetto baby
Seen n***as die, get locked up
(Damn, that shit slap)
Seen a lot of shit goin' on
Public schools fucked up, ain't teachin' us (Section 8 housing)
(If you ain't got a beat from Bam, you don't trap enough)

[Chorus]
I'm just a ghetto baby
(Section 8 housing, food stamps)
I'm just a ghetto baby
(Seen n***as die, done get locked up)
I'm just a ghetto baby
(Yeah, I know some n***as that'll never make it out)
Yeah, the ghetto raised me
(I'm a product of my environment, n***a, ayy)

[Verse 1]
Mmm, gotta know that the ghetto raised me
First toy I ever got was a broke .380
I'ma stand on tall business 'fore I let 'em play me
Was catchin' plays way before I tried to play JV
Was a Cam'ron fan, I ain't bump JAY-Z
Bitch, this a Bamondabeat, this ain't no Tay Keith
Really can't do shit for free no more, so pay that fee
Really put a bag on your life, don't say that, Tee
Damn, livin' that fast life
Stop dwellin' on what you used to do, that's your past life
You so focused on them hoes, boy, get your bag right
Ain't worried about nobody playin' with me, keep my mag tight
[Chorus]
I'm just a ghetto baby
(Section 8 housing, food stamps)
I'm just a ghetto baby
(Seen n***as die, done get locked up)
I'm just a ghetto baby
(Yeah, I know some n***as that'll never make it out)
Yeah, the ghetto raised me
(I'm a product of my environment, n***a)

[Verse 2]
Used to couldn't afford this shit, that's why I stay in high fashion
You been doin' this shit forever, you gon' die rappin'
I spotted you first, color-coordinated, you'll die matchin'
Your bitch seen the diamonds on my neck, I guess it's eye-catchin'
Never goin' back to my ribs showin'
Taught myself how to hustle and got the feel for it
Never looked up to the athlete, I know the real Jordan
My white boy got Lieutenant Dan, I know the real Forrest

[Chorus]
I'm just a ghetto baby
(Section 8 housing, food stamps)
I'm just a ghetto baby
(Seen n***as die, done get locked up)
I'm just a ghetto baby
(Yeah, I know some n***as that'll never make it out)
Yeah, the ghetto raised me
(I'm a product of my environment, n***a)
