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