Ghetto Life - Rick James
When I was a young boy
Growing up in the Ghetto
Hanging out on corners
Singing with the fellas
Looking 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
Didn't know what my life would be
I was dumb and oh so lazy
Something had a spell on me
You wanna know what I'm talkin' 'bout
Ghetto life
You wanna know what I'm singin' 'bout
Ghetto life
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
She laid her pigtails down on me
And I was feeling oh so sneaky
I had to see what love could be
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
Did you think I'd work it out
The Ghetto Life
Sing it to ya hit it baby sorry
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
