Ghetto Music - Boogie Down Productions

作词：L.Parker

作曲：L.Parker

If you like the sound of what youve heard so far

Ghetto music

Ghetto music

Ghetto music

Ghetto music

youre tuned into that easy listening sound

With a cap and gown not a crown

No glitter no makeup

Just smashin lyrics that make up

The b d and the p

You pay for the hits the advice is free

In this industry we gotta grow

Commercial some go but yknow

Just as important as they are

So is the underground superstar (like me)

You gotta ask yourself one question

Do I speak facts or do I start guessin

Learn the lesson before you plan your career

Commercial or underground where

Do you fit cause both sides write hits

And all is rap Ill admit

But what Ive come to explain

Is that these people love to play a game

They wanna make it seem like youre wrong

For writin the reality song

Dont touch those issues dont talk about dat

We dont take knowledge rap

What they want you on their bases

Cause if you bring out the brown youre racist

But if you bring out the pink well wait its ok

Yeah they wont stop it

I guess its alright to act demonic

I guess its alright to act demonic

But thats another chapter in another book

Ive come to show a different look

And that look is the whole of rap

Not just the commercial pap

But the underground that raw ghetto sound

From which rap music was found

So you cant deny it you cannot refuse it

Ill be rockin that ghetto music

People keep tellin me kris you need more radio

Yeah man thats the way to go

You gotta be like so-and-so to go platinum

Then I attack em

I rhyme for the ghetto I teach the ghetto

I cannot let go change up heck no

In the ghetto I stay mellow

Were in effect yo ready set go

Fresh for nineteen eighty-nine you suckers

Peace to p e and the jungle brothers

Others have come to master the art

They start with heart then fall apart

Like a dart I shoot for one target (bo bo)

Ghetto music yeah theyll never chart it

Cause now in eighty-nine the purpose of a rhyme

Is to strengthen and uplift the mind

Although Ill achieve and achieve and achieve

Its simple Ill never leave

Cause every time you front for respect you lose it

Ill rock ghetto music

Ghetto music

Ghetto music

Ghetto music

Ghetto music
