Verses come from Jay 305 and Tee Cee, who wax lyrical about the trials and tribulations of life in the hood. We start in the morning - "woke up, brush my teeth�tell me about the raid that happened down the street."

"Ghetto Tales" is about storytelling, the way that stories and intrigue circulate through word of mouth: "This the kind of s**t that happens every day, in the hood."
