Would you believe what's going down inside my brain  I don't believe you'd understand  Pay no mind to the ghetto man    I know the world is cold  Well that ain't nothin' strange  But the way you push me down  Well it's gettin' old  And I know it's never gonna change  Now I'm gonna start pushing back  Maybe that'll make you understand  You can't push down on a ghetto man    I think you'd finally understand  Once you had to be the ghetto man  It's a ghetto man    Well I've got more love than money  And I got more hope than fame  I'l like to buy the world from under you someday  And leave you sleeping in the rain  And eating from the drain    Maybe that will make you understand  Once you had to be the ghetto man  It's a ghetto man
