Ghetto Girl
[Intro]
Ghetto baby, lady, lady

[MN]
So tell me whassup witchu
Can you keep it real?
(Lemme tell you what I feel)
Come here, lemme set your mind at ease

[EB]
I'm in need of something
That I lost along the way
You know that money's cool
But it makes my world so strange
Now I got ladies talking to me
But they ain't got shit to say
It's like I've come this far just to miss simpler days

I need to feel her tonight
Deeper love with honesty
I've seen a million girls
But there's just one kind for me

1 - Ghetto girl, living in a ghetto world
I like her cuz she keeps it real
She lets me know just how she feels
Ghetto girl, living in a ghetto world
She's the only one I need
She's the only one for me
She won't never leave me guessing
Always let me know the deal
You know that ghetto love is always on the real
She got inner city struggles
And her blood runs deep in me
So when we make love we feel mad history
Well I'm not trying to put nobody down
In this superficial world
But if you need deeper love
You better find you a ghetto girl

Repeat 1
Repeat 1

Girl if they tried
To see you like I do
Hold your head up high
There's no one above you
With you by my side girl
Ain't nothing that I can't do
I've been around the world enough for me to see
Boy you best believe
It's gonna be ghetto girls for me

[MN]
So tell me whassup witchu
Can you keep it real?
(Tell you what I feel)
Come here, let me set your mind at ease
