A young hog in the hood playin' chase, on his face Havin' fun it ain't nothin' like this place and you don't wanna race I got the new ones on And we can run the corner to the Newman's home
And after that we goin' go 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 night I pray, Lord, let me make it And if I die before I Then my soul, you it fake it
My older taught me game And sometimes even let the soldier hang As a loc, my only was to soak And pass it on to my comrade and closest All friends I knew about it as a I stood have you ever seen a ghetto smile?
In the there's a smile roamin' through the streets Why don't the homies for me? Ghetto, hey, yeah In the ghetto there's a smile through the streets Why the homies smile for me? Ghetto, hey
I'm at the junior high bad at the dance The slow jam got me with a in my pants And with me, her Momma used to babysit me And back then she was plain old pretty
But nowadays it seems she done grown Jeans and her perm gotta hella long Would I be if I whisper and take her down And maybe play house sitter her like the Pound
goin' down about now in the Northern Bay The OG's put it and make they pay Flip a 68 'stang with the blew out The homey in the hood ridin' on thangs
And as I peep it thangs got a little deeper And everybody and their Momma done a beeper And then they post on the gettin' loose and wild You know the scene the ghetto smile
In the there's a smile roamin' through the streets Why don't the homies for me? Ghetto, hey, yeah In the there's a smile roamin' through the streets Why don't the smile for me? Ghetto, hey
At 18 I graduated and now I'm time for the dog to get his own bone I left home got a condo out on ridge And like a is how this young playa live
parties in the pool with my dope to roll Wasn't off nathin' we was all folks Hillside in the house and we perved gettin' on my neighbor's nerves
I love the hood so 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 the savage get his cabbage and place his bid
And even though we fight we remain game tight Handle business and always for forgiveness It nothin' like a homey you ain't seen in awhile So when you meet him greet him with that ghetto
In the ghetto there's a smile through the streets Why don't the homies smile for me? 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 smile for me, ghetto The smile, the ghetto smile Homies for me And the smile for me
