You know, tone
It really ain't that bad
Once you understand

The science of this %#@!

College boyz coming to you

For the year 2000
Covering all sectors
Of the universe


Creep through the hood
With my drop top

Gangstas on the sidelines
Throwing up nothing
But a peace sign


Brothers on the curb
With the herb

Levis, knee high
O.g's clock as i creep by


Crib to crib
Rolls up to kid's girls i dig
They all know me

So the ghetto stays cozy

Team to team

Sport a couple of trophys
One for the dope
And the other for the homie


The ghetto's a real
Fool place to be $#&@ed up

Sundown to sunup
But that's the way we come up


You talk with the street slang
You ball and you gang bang
That's where the family hangs

So it ain't no thang

[chorus]

It doesn't seem like
I'll be going nowhere
I'm just a victim of the ghetto

It doesn't seem like i'll be
Getting too far, too far


[repeat chorus]

Yeah, it's like a family affair

If you get through
Plenty of?


Say, what's up
Keep your mouth shut, yup
High rollers know me

But they don't own me
($#&@ you)


5-0 might roll through quite slow
Keep the forty in the bag
And throw away the zig zag


Waiting for five or six to come
Down goes the sun

So we can run a game of 21

Call me anything

From a hoodlum to a thug
You can push and you can shove
And i still won't budge


[repeat chorus 2x]


I'm just a victim of the ghetto
Won't be getting too far, too far
I'm just a victim of the ghetto
Too far, too far, no


Movie stars, yuppies
Macs and politicians
Roll through to get
A nickel or a ten


They know me, i know them
But then again i can't extend
More than i need to
Cause suddenly, they read me


And lead you astray
And transactions completed
Your presence in my ghetto
Ain't needed, so beat it


Born and raised on
The same damn concrete
And i'll be put to sleep
In these streets

I step into a different world

For college education
Keep my safe ways
Pay days stays in effect

I just can't let go
I want my respect so
I gotta return to the

Nation of my ghetto

[repeat chorus]

I'm just a victim of the ghetto
Too far, to far


So know you now
College boyz sending out a fistful
To the baytown posse
Concrete evidence, the cb posse
My main man, tj

Omega sci-fi, overdose

Suicide, homicide
Doa and genocide

And to the law
Keep your $%&^ on the
Other side of the tracks


This is the q signing out
On radio fusion radio
(victim of the ghetto)
Checkmate

[repeat chorus to fade]
