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