A hog in the hood playin' chase, smile on his face Havin' fun 'cuz it nothin' like this place and you don't wanna race I got the new ones on And we can run from the to the Newman's home
And that we goin' go raid the plum tree And ball down where those bos be Mom's got the door open bumpin' Marvin get it on all day everyday
At night I pray, Lord, just let me it And if I die I wake Then my soul, you it fake it
My older taught me game And sometimes let the young soldier hang As a loc, my only was to soak And pass it on to my and closest folks All friends I about it as a child I stood proud have you seen a ghetto smile?
In the ghetto there's a roamin' through the streets Why the homies smile for me? Ghetto, hey, yeah In the ghetto a smile roamin' through the streets Why don't the smile for me? Ghetto, hey
I'm at the junior actin' bad at the dance The slow jam got me a woody in my pants And baby with me, her Momma used to me And back then she was just old pretty
But nowadays it like she done grown Jeans fitting and her gotta hella long Would I be wrong if I whisper and take her And play house sitter with her like the Pound
It's goin' down about now in the Bay The OG's put it down and make pay a 68 'stang with the blew out braids The only homey in the hood on thangs
And as I peep it thangs have got a little And everybody and their Momma done bought a And they post on the lake gettin' loose and wild You know the scene the ghetto smile
In the ghetto there's a smile through the streets Why don't the smile for me? Ghetto, hey, yeah In the ghetto a smile roamin' through the streets Why the homies smile for me? Ghetto, hey
At 18 I graduated and now I'm About for the dog to get his own bone I left home got a out on Quail ridge And a king is how this young playa live
Swimmin' parties in the pool with my dope to trippin' off nathin' we was all folks Hillside in the house and we gettin' Freestylin' gettin' on my nerves
I love the so everyday I'm back to visit And swoop the so that they can come through and kick it And peep the just as I did as a kid And watch the get his cabbage and place his bid
And though we fight we still remain game tight Handle business and open for forgiveness It ain't nothin' like a you ain't seen in awhile So when you meet him greet him with ghetto smile
In the ghetto there's a smile roamin' the streets Why don't the homies for me? Ghetto In the ghetto a smile, oh All the smiles for me, ghetto
a ghetto in the sky, ghetto in the sky But all the homies for me, ghetto The ghetto smile, the ghetto smile for me And the smile for me
