So brother, don't you worry
Playing tag with winos
It'll be there tomorrow
(The place we like to funk)
And I was feeling, oh, so sneaky
She was very kinky
Tenements, slums and corner bums
(Talkin' 'bout ghetto life)
Ghetto life
Kind of free and fancy
Talking 'bout ghetto life
(Ghetto Land that's the place where we funk)
(Shoop be doop in the ghetto)
That my game was strong
(In the ghetto)
Life, life
(Ghetto Land that's the place where we funk)
(In the ghetto)
(The place we like to funk)
(The place we like to funk)
Did you think I was smart enough? Yeah
Didn't know what my life would be
She couldn't have been much older
I knew, I had to pray
(In the ghetto)
Say, where the place we funk
(Shoop shoop, shoop shoop)
Something had a spell on me
You don't have to hurry
(Ghetto Land that's the place where we funk)
(Ghetto Land that's the place where we funk)
When I was a young man
Sing it to ya, hit it, baby, say, ghetto life
(Talkin' 'bout ghetto life)
(Shoop be doop in the ghetto)
(Talkin' 'bout ghetto life)
(Shoop shoop, shoop shoop)
Met this little cute girl
(Shoop be doop in the ghetto life)
She laid her pigtails down on me
To make a girl not want to go
You got to get on over, ghetto life
I knew it all along
Did you think I'd work it out of the ghetto life?
I was dumb and, oh, so lazy
(In the ghetto)
When I was a young boy
Ho
(In the ghetto)
Did you think I was man enough? Yeah
She had pigtails to her shoulders
(Talkin' 'bout ghetto life)
(In the ghetto)
She said, her name was Nancy
Ghetto life
People we got to get over
Hanging out on corners
Talkin' 'bout the life
The only way to have some fun
I had to see what love could be, yes now
(In the ghetto)
(Talkin' 'bout ghetto life)
Or anyone who'll give me some
And give myself away
Ghetto life, la la, la la, life
(Talkin' 'bout ghetto life)
But I was wrong that time
(The place we like to funk)
She taught me what I had to know
One thing 'bout the ghetto
Trying to find a bit of fun
Where's the place, we like to funk
I was young and crazy
Lookin' for the cute chicks
(Ghetto Land that's the place where we funk)
Ghetto life, baby
(Ghetto Land that's the place where we funk)
(The place we like to funk)
(In the ghetto)
Where's the place we funk?
Singin' with the fellas
Ghetto life
You wanna know what I'm singin' 'bout?
(Talkin' 'bout ghetto life)
You wanna know what I'm talkin' bout?
Ghetto Land, that's the place
Where's the place, we like to funk
(The place we like to funk)
Did you think I was strong enough? Yeah
(Shoop shoop, shoop shoop)
Where we funk from day to day
Looking for some trouble
