I know you think you're cool Lord if they bus your kids to school I know you think you're cool Just cause they bus your kids to school But you ain't got a thing to lose You just got the get out of the ghetto blues I know you think you're cool
If you're gettin' two welfare checks You done told me you think you're cool Because you're gettin' two welfare checks
Yea but you got ten years to lose (if they catch you) Just tryin' to fight that get out of the ghetto blues If he don't catch you in the wash
Lord knows he'll catch you in the rinse I know you think you're cool Just cause you shooting that stuff in your arm I seen you nodding
Cause you shoot that stuff in your arm And it don't matter which pine box you choose You got the get out of the ghetto blues
