Rick James - Ghetto Life lyrics

rate me

When I was a young boy

Growing up in the ghetto

Hanging out on corners

Singin' with the fellas

Lookin' for the cute chicks

Trying to find a bit of fun

Looking for some trouble

Or anyone who'll give me some

I was young and crazy

In the ghetto

Didn't know what my life would be

In the ghetto

I was dumb and oh so lazy

In the ghetto

Something had a spell on me

In the ghetto

You wanna know what I'm talkin' bout?

Talkin' 'bout ghetto life

Ghetto Liiiiiiiiiiiife

You wanna know what I'm singin' 'bout?

Talkin' 'bout ghetto life

Ghetto Liiiiiiiiiiiife

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 want to go

She was very kinky

In the ghetto

She laid her pigtails down on me

In the ghetto

And I was feeling oh so sneaky

In the ghetto

I had to see what love could be

In the ghetto

I knew it all along

That my game was strong

But I was wrong that time

I knew I had to pray

And give myself away

Did you think I was man enough?

Yeah

Did you think I was smart enough?

Yeah

Did you think I was strong enough?

Yeah

Did you think I'd work it out?

The Ghetto Life

Sing it to ya, hit it baby baby

Talkin 'bout ghetto life

You got to get on over

Talkin 'bout 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 tommorow

So brother don't you worry

Ghetto Life

Talking 'bout ghetto life

Talking 'bout Ghettoo Liiiiiiiiife

Ghetto Life, baby

Talkin' 'bout ghetto life

Life

Life

Ghetto Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii(Talkin' 'bout ghetto life)iiioooooo la la la la life

Shoop Shoop Shoop Shoop, Shoop be doop in the ghetto

People we got to get over

Shoop Shoop Shoop Shoop, Shoop be doop in the ghetto

Talkin' 'bout the life

Shoop Shoop Shoop Shoop, Shoop be doop in the ghetto

Life

Where's the place we funk?

Ghetto Land that's the place we funk

The place we like to funk

Ghetto Land that's the place where we funk

Say where the place we funk

Ghetto Land that's the place where we funk

The place we like to funk

Ghetto Land that's the place where we funk

Ho!

The place we like to funk

Ghetto Land, we like to funk

Where the place, we like to funk

Ghetto Land, that's the place

Where we funk from day to day

Ghetto Land Ghetto Land
