What you gonna play now
Get on up Get on up Get on up Get on up
Every ghetto got a different name
But they all the same
So Coolio loco gonna put you up on game
We got homies who sell straps
Homies who sell crack
Homies who sell the bomb chronic sacks that's a fact
'Cause you from the neighborhood niggas love
Pimps players suckers hoes
Forty thieves gangsters and thugs
To unwrap the strap before you know what
The loudmouth one locked up
In front of the icecream truck
And broke all of the sills where the big G's live
The little homie be gettin' out on account
This time he might get stuck attempted
One eight seven and he's a minor with pride
So the DA want him tried as an adult
The big homey just had a son no joking
I think his baby's mom is smoking
Cause she always broke
And the young girls is dressing more and more sleazy
And everybody and their momma talking bout OJ defense
To the hoochies in the Hondas and Sentras
Young niggas fightin'
Their case with public defenders
Be your own good ride
Right right
These are the ghetto highlights
To the niggas who smokin' indo chocolate tired of stress
Niggas who got warrants out for their arrest
Be your own good ride
Right right
These are the ghetto highlights
Slap boxin' with all the young hoochies watchin'
Dead cats in the street playing craps
Niggas catchin' dice with they feet
Think they got the funk that one fool got stoked out
'Cause he's a mark with a gun
The nosy b***h up the street called 9-1-1 now
One time his d jacked a n***a and old b***h
License and registration
"All I got is a drivers permit"
Niggas can't have shit we got dogs
That rip but don't even trip
Welcome to Southern California
Liquor stores and churches on every other corner
Your little brother plays pop warner
Darks raided the dope spot
Eight year old kid got shot cos
They mistook his BB gun for a glock
And I ain't forgot about the homey Lano
He got killed by a sucker way back in the eighties oh
I heard the homies mighties is ballin' out of state
He got himself off unemployment checks in Section 8
Hey the homies kickin' it real
Yeah I hear what he's sayin' loc
Sometimes it's just like that in the hood
Yeah don't nothin' change of the game but the name
That's right you know that's right
To the young hustlers
That's trying to stack that knot up
The house parties that's gonna always get shot up
Be your own good ride
Right right
These are the ghetto highlights
To the negros real to stop the violence
All the niggers who locked up during the L A riots
Be your own good ride
Right right
These are the geto highlights
The n****r with all 16 switches sitting ODs
Who got jacked he tried to pull out his gat
Pulling s*x in through his back
Now his momma ain't all black
And niggas is going to the barber to get a fade
They carried their dead homey to his grave
Pour out a little liquor
Home girl down the street
With the green eyes and big titties is getting
Thicker
Neighborhood clubs beat him up
And crackheads be selling tvs and vcrs
For forty bucks so what's up
Yesterday the homey committed a bank caper
Saw the chase on the news
And read the story in today's paper
His little girl's just now
Taking training wheels off her bike
While her daddy's got twenty-five to life at Fort Strike
The little homey just tripped and stripped
Because he didn't realize that the joint was dipped
That's right
OG's joining the nation and it's all good
Big G's is retaliating
Cause they enemies are crossed out the hood
Crackhead momma's smoking whole accounting checks
Dopedealers who serve liquor pieces for s*x
Be your own good ride
Right right
These are the geto highlights
Young niggas going to school to be a doctor
Late night sounds of gunshots and helicopters
Be your own good ride
Right right
These are the ghetto highlights
To all the motherf**kers
Who think their shit don't stank
Rollin D B s and then appear for robbing banks
Be your own good ride
Right right
These are the ghetto highlights
This is just a little something for a n***a
That's still gonna be a n***a
If he don't get no bigger
Be your own good ride
Right right
These are the ghetto highlights
Get on up Get on up Get on up Get on up
Get on up Get on up Get on up
