Artist/Band: Kool G Rap
Lyrics for Song: Ghetto Knows
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Kool G Rap



[Chorus: x2]


Yo you gotta go you gotta go you gotta go


(G: And aiyyo what you don't know believe the ghetto knows)





[Kool G. Rap]


New York New York the city that never sleeps


Bodies covered in white sheets are layin' in the streets


Shit gets deep as we creep up the block by the kids slangin' rocks


And holdin' glocks stolen from the cops to get props





You gotta split a top on the regular


Or get plugged in your mug, from a slug, by your competitor


Gunshots echo throughout the city like thunder, no wonder


Another brother six feet under





You know it ain't no jokin' when the streetlights are broken


So keep your eyes open, or get ready for a, smokin' 'loc


Step out of line, I hope you got your nine gun son


The Smith and Wess', you better press 9-1-1 (word up)





Or make a run for it there's too many to tackle


The Big Apple will put your ass on ice like a Snapple


So even though I rap I gots to stay strapped


Niggas act up I back up (PI-YAH)





I bust a cap inside your fuckin' hat


Don't even pose with them hoes, the swinger that you chose


Just might be down with the foes, only the shadow knows


And ain't no lollipop, lollipop over here only the shottie pops





(BOOM) Now just sit back and watch the bodies drop


The younger gunmen got the bigger niggaz runnin'


The shorties (what) the shorties (what) the shorties are comin'


To push a nigga wig back, and leave his ass flat on his back





The motherfuckin' ghetto knows, and it's like that





[Chorus]





[Kool G. Rap]


Today's headlines, another nigga dead


Six to the body and fo' to the head


Followed the red bitch in the bed full of lead


A drug-related case and now the place is filled with Feds





Ramshacked the shack, disclose 'bout two kilos of dope


Two ounces of coke's caught in the pocket of his coat


So, another brother caught the ultimate surprise


With blown out brains, to drop stains on his eyes





Dazed as I sit back and watch the channel two news


Watchin' his family goin' through all the boo-hoos


You lose, like an Ill Street, the Blues are gettin' deeper


Nothin' left in the room except for him, the Grim Reaper





Police are takin' [unknown] snapshots, scoop up some blood drops


Pull out a file on a juvenile child of mugshots


The cops knew he fell victim to laws on the street


So they just, pull out the white sheets, to cover up the dead meat





Seal off the area with yellow tape, draw the white


chalk around the body now the party has to motivate


One more outlaw, was murdered on the scene for the green


Died at the age of seventeen





[Chorus]





[Kool G. Rap]


Strollin' the concrete, packin' my heat, walkin' the backstreets


I seen niggaz pull up, peepin' me out the side a black Jeep


Six feet deep, that's where I'm goin' if I'm slippin'


Steady cockin' my shit cause I already got the clip in





Now who's the first nigga to run up, here they come up


The block hardrocks with glocks rollin' holdin' they guns up


I buck, I buck, and then I struck one in the chest


Nigga should of wore a vest but now his ass is put to rest





But now I got three mo' niggaz, pullin triggers


Strays are ricochetin' off the bricks, zigga zigga


But who got the biggest strap? Who's bustin' bigger caps?


My BOOM BOOM BOOMS against they PAP PAP PAPS





No haps, G. Rap ain't goin' out like a sucker


I reloaded the shot and dropped another motherfucker


Quick, I duck and shit to dodge the bullets comin' at me


'Cause I won't be too happy with a slug inside my nappy





Two more niggaz left, they scared to death, but I'm leary


Shit gets kinda scary when I got bulletholes near me


I went between two cars, lettin' off the quarter pound


I see another body fallin' down to the ground





Quick I run up on him cause I don't think that he's dead


Standin' over his ass I put two more inside his head


That's three niggaz down, only got one nigga to go


I gots to send his ass to the gravedigger so





I lay low in the cut and wait for moneygrip to slip up


Nearly shot my whole clip up, I got one more slug to rip up


Look over by the GS, see his ass stickin his head out


Boom, let the lead out, blew a piece of his brain dead out


The back of his head, now he's dead, because he fell face down





Right on the motherfuckin' streets that he dwelled





[Repeat Chorus]
