Ghetto baby
|
I'm in need of something
|
That I lost along the way
|
You know that money's cool
|
But it makes my world so strange
|
Now I got ladies talking to me
|
But they ain't got shit to say
|
It's like I've come this far just to miss simpler days
|
I need to feel her tonight
|
Deeper love with honesty
|
I've seen a million girls
|
But there's just one kind for me
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
|
A ghetto girlliving in a ghetto world
|
A ghetto girlI like her 'cause she keeps it real
|
A ghetto girlshe lets me know just how she feels
|
There's only one girl for me
|
|
She won't never leave me guessing
|
Always let me know the deal
|
You know that ghetto love is always on the real
|
She got inner city struggles
|
And her blood runs deep in me
|
So when we make love we feel mad history
|
Well I'm not trying to put nobody down
|
In this superficial world
|
But if you need deeper love
|
You better find you a ghetto girl
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
|
A ghetto girlliving in a ghetto world
|
(Brother you love who you please)
|
A ghetto girlI like her 'cause she keeps it real
|
(But it's a sister girl for me)
|
A ghetto girlshe lets me know just how she feels
|
(It's that ghetto love I need)
|
|
[Bridge:]
|
|
There's only one girl for me
|
Girl if they tried
|
They would see you like I do
|
Hold your head up high
|
There's no one above you
|
With you by my side girl
|
There's nothing that I can't do
|
I've been around the world enough for me to see
|
Boy you best believe
|
It's going to be ghetto girls for me
|
|
Ghetto girl, ghetto girl
|
Ghetto girl, ghetto girl
|
