“So Ghetto” wasn’t my first choice for this feature. I think “Come and Get Me” is lyrically superior to “So Ghetto.” With that said I think “So Ghetto” sums up Jay’s career in one song. You have the witty, flossy, and arrogant Jay all on one song.
Lyrics from (OHHLA) and Youtube video after the cut. Enjoy!
“So Ghetto” (Verse two)
“Wednesday’s I’m up in Shine, Cheetah’s Monday night
I’m fuckin with the model chicks Friday night at Life
So I’m cruisin in the car with this bogiue broad
She said, “Jigga-Man you rich, take the doo-rag off”
Hit a U-turn; ma I’m droppin you back off
Front of the club, “Jigga why you do that for?”
Thug nigga til the end, tell a friend bitch
Won’t change for no paper plus I been rich
Eighty-eight been hustlin, linen been crushin em
Women been fuckin them HUH?
You see I live for the love of the street
Rap to the ruggedest beats
Hall closet cluttered with heat
I spit that murder-murder-murder
that Brook-Brook-a-Brooklyn shit
Furthermore ma..
We tote guns to the Grammy’s, pop bottles on the White House lawn
Guess I’m just the same old Shawn”

I acutally thought the first verse was dope as well. “Put ya crew in hard bottoms, priest is like God’s got em’”
So I’m cruisin in the car with this bogiue broad
She said, “Jigga-Man you rich, take the doo-rag off”
Hit a U-turn; ma I’m droppin you back off
Front of the club, “Jigga why you do that for?”
Thug nigga til the end, tell a friend bitch
I get so Hype when I hear dat part Kev….This has to be one Of my TOP 5 from Jay….them days…smh
Yep, this is by far my favorite song by Jay-Z. I always have told people that if there is one song that represents Jigga, it’s “So Ghetto”. Oh, and Thomas, I think you right about that first verse.
