A young hog in the playin' chase, smile on his face Havin' fun 'cuz it ain't like this place and you don't wanna race I got the new ones on And we can run from the corner to the home
And that we goin' go raid the plum tree And stick down where those bos be Mom's got the door bumpin' Marvin Gaye get it on all day everyday
At I pray, Lord, just let me make it And if I die I wake my soul, you take it Never it
My older brother taught me And sometimes let the young soldier hang As a loc, my only was to soak And pass it on to my comrade and folks All I knew about it as a child I stood proud have you ever a ghetto smile?
In the ghetto a smile roamin' through the streets Why don't the homies smile for me? Ghetto, hey, In the ghetto there's a smile roamin' the streets Why don't the homies for me? Ghetto, hey
I'm at the junior actin' bad at the dance The slow jam got me with a in my pants And baby me, her Momma used to babysit me And then she was just plain old pretty
But nowadays it seems like she done Jeans fitting and her perm hella long Would I be if I whisper and take her down And maybe play house sitter her like the Pound
It's goin' about now in the Northern Bay The put it down and make they pay Flip a 68 with the blew out braids The only homey in the hood ridin' on
And as I it thangs have got a little deeper And everybody and Momma done bought a beeper And then they post on the lake loose and wild You know the scene it's the ghetto
In the ghetto there's a smile through the streets Why don't the smile for me? Ghetto, hey, yeah In the ghetto there's a smile roamin' the streets Why don't the homies for me? Ghetto, hey
At 18 I and now I'm grown About for the dog to get his own bone I left home got a condo out on ridge And like a king is how young playa live
Swimmin' parties in the with my dope to roll Wasn't trippin' off we was all folks Hillside in the house and we perved gettin' on my neighbor's nerves
I the hood so everyday I'm back to visit And swoop the young so that they can come and kick it And the game just as I did as a kid And watch the get his cabbage and place his bid
And even though we fight we still game tight business and always open for forgiveness It ain't nothin' like a you ain't seen in awhile So when you meet him greet him that ghetto smile
In the there's a smile roamin' through the streets Why don't the homies for me? Ghetto In the there's a smile, oh All the homies smiles for me,
a ghetto in the sky, ghetto in the sky But all the smile for me, ghetto The ghetto smile, the ghetto Homies for me And the smile for me
