Lyrics:
Even though the streets are bumpy, lights burned out
Dope fiends die with a pipe in their mouth
Old school buddies not doing it right
Every day it's the same and it's the same every night
I wouldn't shoot you, bro, but I'd shoot that fool
If he played me close and tried to test my cool

The most important line in the song...
"Even tho' some people give u no respect, be intelligent, when u put 'em in check cause when you're ignorant, u get treated that way and when they throw u in jail u got nothin' to say."

Truly the best::
RAPPERS JUST DON'T MAKE POSITIVE MUSIC LIKE THIS ANYMORE. SHIT WAS REAL BACK IN THE 90'S.
you're damn right
now its all i hear is this "BUGATTI BUGATTI BUGATTI BUGATTI"
hd150 "SWAG, WEED, DRINK"
It really pisses me off when I hear people say this. I guess it's true for mainstream/radio rap but you don't even have to go tht deep to find the good shit
bro is 89 year old@@tonton9598
I guess the ghetto still the same everywhere, even 33 years later.
Greetings from São Paulo, Brazil.
Poverty and the issues it brings are truly a shared experience across all continents, countries, and cultures. Much love to you guys in Sao Paulo! I trained Brasilian Jiu Jitsu for several years and I would love to visit Brasil someday. You guys have a wonderful vibrant culture there.
🇧🇷🇧🇷
The ghetto never ever changes.
Greetings !!!
Respect
This song touches deep to the core even if youre not from the ghetto you should feel something
That's the case with me. I approve of this song's message. That's why this is one of my favorite Too $hort joints.
💯 same! Stay blessed
Too short, easy e ans dmx are the best
This dude was on another level. I grew up in Louisiana, and my MOMMA was bumping his cassette while cleaning up the house. This song here is timeless.
I forgot about this track. It made me stop and think how really real it was(still is).

I'm 64 yrs old and I'm Still BLASTING THIS 3/13/24👌 JUST PLAYED THE ORIGINAL SONG,BY DONNY HATHAWAY 👀💯🎶
This is the only few songs where Too $hort raps about something positive!! He usually raps about being a player, pimpin’, ho’s and using the word “bitch” in his songs.
He’s even better on Don’t Ever Give Up
He raps about reality
These lyrics hit hard enough to make a mf cry. Sad reality 31 years later.
Yeah the sad reality is,
most of these guys never get a chance.
Shit crazy as the fuck
@@belikedre28 yep I grew up and Chicago and join d a gang when I was 9 we use to rumble real hard in the streets seen so much and done a lot but surviving that hood life becomes a testimony if you can live through it Man y’all gone bring tears to my eyes Respect ✊🏾💯🙏🏾
Yea Yes Yes. Real Truth Spoken💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
@@righteousmasculine god bless bruh
True Story: Growing up I had a VHS cassette tape with my father performing/lip syncing this song holding me in his arms. I was about 3 years old. Unfortunately my father passed away when I was 8. I had this tape all the way until I was about 18 and it got lost when we lost our home. This song has a lot of sentimental value to me. I will forever love it!!!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
💙
❤️❤️
I'm glad you hold that memory in your heart man.
My dad also sang this song while holding me in his arms. Miss u pops
That's a nice memory. I'm beyond sorry that it got LOST!
Back in 94' my brother would sing this song. Mind you, we Hispanics, my mom would jam too it too. It gets old when people comment that i miss the 90s, but truly those were the glory years.
👍👍👍
True all time classic this beat will ALWAYS be relevant
The mainstream had to stop this kind of music. Songs like this came out before the industry realized how powerful music was. This song is laced with nothing but GAME that can make a person better.
Ya 20 years ago music like this is fully embraces by the mainstream today.
💯💯💯
Don't know what to say always got me back in the days I'm 52 respect 2 short!!!

There's a reason why 90's rap will always be better than what is produced today. Lyrics had more meaning and were way more impactful than anything that could be produced today. This song is an example of that.
Agree. 80s rap too.
This song has more lyrics than an entire rap album today. 👀
Hah
Funky, Funky Ghetto
Hermadurdur badurdurdur
I'll take my award now
Interesting 👍🏾❤️

This song will never get old because every word is true to this very day.

1 of the most powerful songs ever
Agreed💯
and one of the Most Underrated Old Hip Hop songs On you tube
jonathan fanfan who the uses numbers instead of letters when writing this thing
Hell nah dawg.
Clown core - toilet. Way better youtube.
I can't agree more 💯❣️
The older generation can relate to this as well as the younger one.
If you live Fort Myers and your listening to this show some love
As a whiteboy that grew up in the projects of Atl I grew up on stuff like this and Scarface. I'm 46yrs old and still love this era of rap. Telling stories about coming up in real shit. Not like todays rappers talking about who has the shiniest car and necklace
Here, here Paul...I'm 46 also. I share my music with my teens and they realize why I can't listen to this crap they play on the radio and television. If I can't close my eyes and make a short movie from what they're saying, it ain't for me!
@@jaysrandomnesschannel I agree my friend. Today's music truly lacks heart. The art of story telling is gone from the music of today.

See my guy Slick Rick, Too Short, NWA and various others lived what they schooled us on and it wasn't jus to make a buck like these cats today!
@@howardclemens2159 Damn straight. Couldn't have said it better myself.
Even my boomer mother loved this rap song. A classic. Timeless.
Boomers are the greatest
My Mother inlaw was a Preacher & when she heard it. She said who is that. She loved the bass too. 😆 🤣 😂 Classic! 🌉
My boomer dad loved this song too. One of the few rap songs he liked of mine back them
Message & beat still knockin' 34 yrs. later. Damn, that's mind blowing.
This song is for all the ghettos all over the world
Oh man. The memories of being a teenager in the 90's 🖤
Yes. Too Short, Ice Cube, E-40, Biggie, KRS-1, DOC, Snoop Dog in his prime, Whodini, Ice-T...the list goes on and on. Now in 2018 going on 2019, you look at what has come of rap today, and it is barely even a shadow of it's glory/golden days

This should have billions of views, still one of the best rap songs ever written, heard it hundreds of times and never gets old.
FACTS
Can you say that again
Not a lot of people could relate
@@djsuperrap6685 I think more people could relate than you think, you dont have to live in the ghetto to know what its like to feel trapped by the mentality or lack of opportunity of your area.
The most important song Too Short ever wrote
Fredo in the cut if your in the cut is it a scary sight?
Hell yeah
Aysaiah Harris so true
The realest song he ever wrote
I’m a player is pretty important
Best Too Short joint if you ask me. Raw. Too Short spitting the truth!
What m/fers don't understand, people in those type of places are stronger than people in prosperous places.
Fun Fact - Eazy-E's Favourite rapper Was Too Short

its not a fun fact, its a nigga fact.

I remember when I was a kid playing San Andreas and this song came on while I was cruising on the highway in Las Venturas in my Low Rider Impala… Good Shit Bro 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I remember when I was a kid and this was brand new on cassette tape
This hard fr! If y'all fw music like this lemme put u on ua-cam.com/video/9my1a6A_lW8/v-deo.html
It was also set to play (on PS2) when you first went to get a haircut and some food with Ryder. Best intro to a game because you're not even doing missions you're just cruising the hood passing prostitutes, drug dealers and gang members, with your homie getting some food listening to some classic tunes. Captured the feeling very well.

Yeet
Talking 'bout the ghetto
Funky, funky ghetto
Trying to survive
Trying to stay alive
The ghetto
The ghetto (talking 'bout the ghetto)
The ghetto (hmm)
The ghetto (funky, funky ghetto)
Even though the streets are bumpy, lights burned out
Dope fiends die with a pipe in their mouths
Old school buddies not doing it right
Every day it's the same
And it's the same every night
I wouldn't shoot you, bro, but I'd shoot that fool
If he played me close and tried to test my cool
Every day I wonder just how I'll die
Only thing I know is how to survive
There's only one rule in the real world
And that's to take care of you, only you and yours
Keep dealing with the hard times day after day
Might deal me some dope, but then crime don't pay
Black man tried to break in my house again
Thought he got off the dope doing time in the pen
Even though my brothers do me just like that
I get a lot of love so I'm giving it back to the ghetto
The ghetto (talking 'bout the ghetto)
The ghetto (funky, funky ghetto)
The ghetto (trying to live our lives)
The ghetto (won't ya tell 'em 'bout it, Too $hort?)
So just peep the game and don't call it crap
'Cause to me, life is one hard rap
Even though my sister smoked crack cocaine
She was nine months pregnant, ain't nothing changed
600 million on a football team
And her baby died just like a dope fiend
The story I tell is so incomplete
Five kids in the house, no food to eat
Don't look at me and don't ask me why
Mama's next door getting high
Even though she's got five mouths to feed
She'd rather spend her money on a H-I-T
I always tell the truth about things like this
I wonder if the mayor overlooked that list
Instead of adding to the task force, send some help
Waiting on him, I'd better help myself
Housing authority and the O.P.D
All these guns just to handle me in the ghetto
The ghetto (people are dying)
The ghetto (children are crying)
The ghetto (don't have enough to eat)
The ghetto (don't even have shoes on their feet)
The ghetto
Even though they put us down and call us animals
We make real big banks and buy brand new clothes
Drive fancy cars, make love to stars
Never really saying just who we are
We use alias names like Too $hort
Sell you stuff you might kill for
Young kids grow up and that's all they know
Didn't teach him in school, now he's slangin' dope
Only thing he knows is how to survive
But will he kill another brother before he dies?
In the ghetto, you keep one eye open
All day long, just hoping and hoping
You can pay your bills and not drink too much
Then the problems of life you'll be throwing up
Like me, but you don't see
Ten years from now, where will you be?
The ghetto (talking 'bout the ghetto)
Trying to get out of the ghetto
The ghetto (talking 'bout the ghetto)
But I got no place to go
The ghetto (talking 'bout the ghetto)
Trying to survive in the heart of the ghetto
The ghetto (talking 'bout the ghetto)
Ha, 'cause that's the only place that I know
So much game in a Too $hort rap
Can't be white and whites can't be black
Why you wanna act like someone else?
All you gotta do is just be yourself
We're all the same color underneath
Short dog is in the house you'd better listen to me
Never be ashamed of what you are
Proud to be black, stand tall at heart
Even though some people give you no respect
Be intelligent, when you put 'em in check
'Cause when you're ignorant, you get treated that way
And when they throw you in jail, you got nothing to say
So if you don't listen, it's not my fault
I'll be getting paid and you'll be paying the cost
Sitting in the jailhouse, running your mouth
While me and my people try to get out
The ghetto (talking 'bout the ghetto)
Talking 'bout the ghetto
The ghetto (talking 'bout the ghetto)
Funky, funky ghetto
The ghetto (talking 'bout the ghetto)
Trying to survive
The ghetto (talking 'bout the ghetto)
Trying to stay alive
The ghetto (talking 'bout the ghetto)
Funky, funky ghetto
The ghetto (talking 'bout the ghetto)
Got no place else to go
The ghetto (talking 'bout the ghetto)
Trying to stay alive
The ghetto (talking 'bout the ghetto)
*se cae de la moto, sigue cantandola*

Straight up. Songs like The Ghetto, Gettin It, Short But Funky, In the Trunk, Just Another Day, Rhymes, Oakland, In the Oaktown, Rhymes i could go on. 😎 and when i hear women say they hate Too $hort & his music on women. I literally would play "Don't Fight The Feelin" then play any song after 😂🤣
Mr.Classic one of the dopest to do it ONE OF THE🐐’s
I was a teenager in the 80s so all this brings back memories
Still listening 2023
I grew up in the ghetto. Moved out. And realized: The World is a Ghetto. Glad I learned them skills to survive and thrive. ✊🏾
why u gotta act like someone else all u gotta do is be yourself, real lyrics spoken
one of the best instrumentals ever made
Real rap 💯
I prefer old school Too $hort. From the 80s til 96 in his "gettin it" album
The music is from donny hathaway
I learned that the hard way when i noticed i just can't impress anybody BUT myself
Most underrated
Probably one of the greatest songs ever about the ghetto......too short...thank you for this classic
Who's still listening in 2019?

@@curtissouth6063 I still listen to this song this is the ghetto in Toledo Ohio and it's sad that you don't have to be white or black the ghetto See's no color if you're poor poverty has no color I live in the ghetto and I am a white woman who is trying to survive just being honest and realistic poverty has no color just being honest and 💯 case closed
Me I grew up in this era
The 90s is the golden era of music
The second verse is. So relevant to this day when it comes to drug addiction and police shooting down minorities

True words, True message Classic tune!
My favorite part, be intelligent when you put them in check, when ignorant, you get treated that way, when they throw in jail you got nothing to say.
Real shit right there!!🐾👌🏾👣
Too $hort was so ahead of his time. He spit 💯 FACTS!!! Dont be ashamed of who you are.
Who's listening? January 2,2024? I was 18/19 when this came out ❤I knew the tape by heart and was proud of it. Saw him in concert with Ice Cube in Fresno, CA in 91
30 years later the streets look the same, the corners hold the same stories. unforgettable classic.
❤🙏🏾
If you know me in 1986 this was my world he's reporting the news crack era was hell mentally physically emotionally for a black youth I dedicated this song to everybody who made out the struggle 20 21 it's still relevant God bless you whoever's reading this
OLD SCHOOL HIP-HOP TOO $HORT THE GHETTO MUSIC 🎶
Thanks for your respect
“We’re all the same color inside” wow, he was way ahead of his time
No he wasn't tf
Were all the same color underneath**
@Ish Moore nope
My blood is black but im white i mean really my blood looks like black and red
@Ish Moore nope
I wasnt even born back then ima keep it real i was born in 96..i perfer this music of any of todays hip hop music an thats real shit..we need this type of hip hop back
At least you were born in the '90s I'm from 2001 and it fuckin sucks camel toe I was born way too late. I wish I'd be here in 85 atleast
***** I just opened a box of cookies. Do you want one?
Shut the fuck up you fuckin weeaboo, do you know how many of these "born in the wrong generation" kids there are on the internet? there was shitty music back then as well, temporary trends just like music today.
Hater? so is it wrong of me to have an opinion weather i like something or not, and no i'm not trying to troll or some shit, and you prolly got me qrong, i like the song the statement the chimp above stated is generic bullshit coming out of a kids ass, and yes, i have the right to criticize someone's opinion as long as anyone can criticize mine
Still on it my brother shit I'm 56 still pumping it. Young bucks don't know B___h😎

Shoutout to my uncle for introducing me to old school hip hop. didn't need a video game at all for this classic tune
We didn't have YT. MTV don't play Too $Hort. I'm 53 and this is the 1st time seeing the video. I was at the show in Evansville, IN a few years ago and so glad to see he's still performing live!
For me this song brings chills through my body because even though it's 30 years old, it was dedicated to me and my four brothers (5 kids in the house, no food to eat). We lived in this exact same neighborhood, Dog Town, in West Oakland, when he shot this video. I remember the two burnt dummies on the swings from when we'd walk to Hoover elementary school every morning. The wino pushing the basket was named "Thunderbird". This video literally takes me 30 years back home!
I remember this as well, one of the houses belong to my grandma, the burnt dummies, the bad ash kids, and violence.
I can't help but wonder, how are you and your brothers doing? I hope you're all doing well!
Oh my God that that comment gave me chills. When this song came out I lived up in Oakland and the house that Gus Williams the SuperSonics owned back in the 80s. I am white and my husband was black and we got hooked up into the gang life and crack cocaine back in the day. It's good you are doing okay, and that some people came out of the game alive so many many years later.
The message alone made this the best rap song of all times.
GTA San Andreas 🔥🔥
This song literally inspired me to start writing/rapping at 12yrs old. Now I'm 44 and still rapping for fun. Real Rap 💯
I remember I was 10 years old when i firstly listened to this song while playing GTA San Andreas (Radio Los Santos) , iam 22 now and still here with the same music taste....
"Time's changin" like Ryder said , most of you will ignore this but to those who feel the nostalgia as i do ,be happy out there and keep it G cuz "10 years from now where would you be?" 🙏🏻
I feel you bro
In the game, they didn't include the last verse which is imo the most important part of the song.
🔥 100
This man is a true preacher.
He proves you can be a gangster without doing drugs and killing
yeah but he sells women. lol
+Celeste Garcia He's not a pimp, that is just part of his image
On a documentary, the women who know Too Short call him shy and don't hang out at clubs much. This is the just public image to sell records, not the real person. Many of these people who rap, are family men. The record companies decide what type of image they should have.
@@TouchofShunshine 50/50 short rap about he seen in the streets of Oakland! He sold records out the trunk no record label
Too Short - one of the greatest rappers of all time!
One of the greatest hip-hop tracks ever made.
Truly a perfect track, flawless from beginning to end. Production, rhymes, flow, content, vibe.
Truly timeless.
The lyrics are powerful and still hold water to this day, however can we take a second to appreciate Al Eaton and this beat. Hell of a producer.
Thanks man
That part
I remember being 7 yes old standing on 30th st in West Oakland when he shot this video, never did know the words to the video I saw 2short shot would be so impacting. 👌🏾
holy shit that would haave been cool years later to say you watched it being filmed. fuck yea! too bad you were not a few years older then!
