A young hog in the hood playin' chase, 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 after we goin' go raid the plum tree And stick ball down where bos be Mom's got the door open bumpin' Gaye Let's get it on all day
At night I pray, Lord, let me make it And if I die I wake my soul, you take it Never it
My older brother taught me And sometimes even let the young hang As a loc, my duty 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 ever a ghetto smile?
In the ghetto a smile roamin' through the streets Why the homies smile for me? Ghetto, hey, yeah In the ghetto a smile roamin' through the streets Why the homies smile for me? Ghetto, hey
I'm at the high actin' bad at the dance The slow jam got me with a woody in my And baby with me, her used to babysit me And back then she was just plain old
But nowadays it seems she done grown Jeans fitting and her gotta hella long Would I be wrong if I whisper and her down And maybe play house sitter with her like the
It's goin' down now in the Northern Bay The put it down and make they pay Flip a 68 'stang with the blew out The only homey in the hood ridin' on
And as I peep it thangs have got a little And everybody and Momma done bought a beeper And they post on the lake gettin' loose and wild You know the scene it's the smile

At 18 I and now I'm grown About time for the dog to get his own I home got a condo out on Quail ridge And like a king is how this young playa
Swimmin' in the pool with my dope to roll Wasn't off nathin' we was all folks Hillside in the and we gettin' perved Freestylin' gettin' on my nerves
I love the so everyday I'm back to visit And swoop the young so that they can through and kick it And peep the just as I did as a kid And watch the savage get his cabbage and his bid
And even we fight we still remain game tight business and always open for forgiveness It nothin' like a homey you ain't seen in awhile So when you meet him greet him with ghetto smile
In the ghetto there's a roamin' through the streets Why don't the homies for me? Ghetto In the there's a smile, oh All the smiles for me, ghetto
There's a in the sky, ghetto in the sky But all the homies smile for me, The ghetto smile, the ghetto Homies for me And the smile for me
