Lyrics Ghetto Life

When I was a young boy
Growing up in the ghetto
Hanging out on corners
Singin' with the fellas
Looking for the cute chicks
Tryna find the big fun
Looking for some trouble
Or anyone who'll give me some
I was young and crazy
Didn't know what my life would be
I was dumb and
Oh, so lazy
Something had a spell on me
You wanna know what I'm talking 'bout
Ghetto life
You wanna know what I'm singing 'bout
Ghetto life
When I was a young man
Kind of free and fancy
Met this little cute girl
She said her name was Nancy
She had pigtails to her shoulders
She couldn't have been much older
She taught me what I had to know
To make a girl not wanna go
She was young and kinky
She laid her pigtails down on me
And I was young and
Oh, so sneaky
I had to see what love could be
Listen now
I knew it all along
That my game was strong
But I was wrong that time
I knew I had to play
And give myself away
Did you think
I was man enough
Did you think
I was smart enough
Did you think
I was strong enough
Did you think that I'd work it out
Sing it 'till you feel it when you say
Ghetto life
You got to get on over
Ghetto life
When I was a young boy
Tenements, slums and corner bums
Playing tag with winos
The only way to have some fun
One thing 'bout the ghetto
You don't have to hurry
It'll be there tomorrow
So brother don't you worry
Ghetto life
Talking 'bout ghetto life
Hey hey hey
Ghetto life, baby
Ghetto life
La la la la
Life
People we got to get over
Talking 'bout the life
Where's the place we funk
Say where's the place we funk
Oh
That's the place we like to funk
Where's the place we like to funk
