Da ghetto has it rough Ma homies likes ta scruff We's flexing'em cuz weeze buff (But we can't honestly communicate since we're all fucking illiterate idiots.) In da ghetto we gots lemon lime soda. In we's bungalow? We gots clothes thats dont be fittin' ans we'ves spent da mad cash ons da mufflers and da rims, chiz. (Because there's nothing more attractive than seeing me spend money I don't have on utterly pointless shit, and then complaining about food and struggle.) In me ghetto? me gots honies knocked up Me's got bunnies all around. Me's got too much hump, and me kids is likes goats, always on full chew, Cuz da ghettos screw. (Since we're drunk twenty four hours a day on poorly distilled highly carbonated cocaine cocktails and elephant tranquilizers.) Please, please Mr. Man... Let the hounds loose.

Like it, think the end of verse one should be 'all fuckin illiterut' or 'all fuckin idiots'

Like the sentiment of that line, rings true.

Bling bling prose, I like angle with the parenthetical sober commentary.

This is wack. Good, yeah. And pretty true. But wack subject matter. Sorry to sound so prudish. I really am. The sorry college-educated PC part of me wants to say you should badmouth white people a little too to even it out. Or if it's supposed to be ironic ('please mr. man') then make it more obvious. The rest of me says screw it, it's the internet. Let your free flag fly. Like I said, it's pretty true.

Absolutely, I actually have been enjoying your work today. I was just giving you 6's because I thought you were my mom. Long story... don't ask.

I've seen plenty of white ghetto shitheads during my time on earth... isn't it anti-PC to believe that only black folk inhabit "da ghetto yo?"?.

The phrase "white trash" doesn't exist for nothing "ye hear me dawg?".
