Good Ole Ghetto

Ha ha I know yall can feel me on this one

'Cause I'm talking 'bout the ghetto

Well, well, well, well, wel, oh yeah

Feel me, come go with me

I was about 13 as I recall

Just a young whippersnapper playin' ball

Tryin' to hang out with the homies after dark

We use to slap box until the street lights come on

And I can hear my mama yelling that it was time to come home

But being young you know how hard it be was

I can clearly remember all the other kids laughing at me

Because I use to wear those hand me downs

But if only they can see me now

And every now and then I reminisce about it

Well baby thats life as well you know

When you come straight from the ghetto

Hey yo, hey yo, give me some of that

Give me some of that good ol' ghetto

Lookin' back as a kid again, hangin' in the hood again

Hey yo, hey yo, give me some of that

Give me some of that good ol' ghetto

'Cause these are our sweet ghetto memories

We ate ghetto food, we wore ghetto clothes

Ended up being ghetto stars, driving our ghetto loads

With a diamond in the back, sunroof top

Diggin' in the scene with a gansta lean ooh

Now I can clearly remember when it was cool

To do the Hammer dance

And everybody wore those pants

But back then I just couldn't afford it

And every now and then I reminisce about it

But its all good in the hood you know

Especially when your from the ghetto

Hey yo, hey yo, give me some of that

Give me some of that good ol' ghetto

Lookin' back as a kid again, hangin' in the hood again

Hey yo, hey yo, give me some of that

Give me some of that good ol' ghetto

'Cause these are our sweet ghetto memories

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Talking 'bout the ghetto, talking 'bout the ghetto

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Talking 'bout the ghetto, talking 'bout the ghetto

Hey yo, hey yo, give me some of that

Give me some of that good ol' ghetto

Lookin' back as a kid again, hangin' in the hood again

Hey yo, hey yo, give me some of that

Give me some of that good ol' ghetto

'Cause these are our sweet ghetto memories

{Ha ha, yeah this song goes out to all my homies

Who are locked up and all my homies who are passed away

Rest in peace

Ha yeah, yeah from the Goodfellas Family

To you and yours, so ghetto}

Hey yo, good ol' ghetto

Hey yo, good ol' ghetto

Hey yo, hey yo, give me some of that

Give me some of that good ol' ghetto

Lookin' back as a kid again, hangin' in the hood again
