Ghetto Of My Mind

Oh, please baby

You know I like you

Savin' all my money all week long

So I can go out drivin' with you

Down on Hollywood Boulevard

On Friday night, dressed right

I don't take no trouble smoke at the wall

But I still have that leopard-skin hat

That you gave me way back

Before it was cool and they took it to school

Here in the ghetto

The ghetto of my mind

Y aqui, the ghetto

The ghetto of my mind

Hey today we wild it up, wild it up

Yeah we wild it up, wild it up

Today we wild it up, wild it up

C'mon baby we wild it up, wild it up

Wild it up, wild it up

I like to dance with my rooner

'Cuz when we dance it feels like

We are who we're meant to be

He puts his arms around me

And I put my arms around him

Ooh, I feel satisfied and free

One night I tied my bandanna around his wrist

And we started to sway and it felt so good

He said, "Looky here Mama, looky here

I think I better just see you safely out of the neighborhood"

That is to say

The ghetto

The ghetto of your mind

Y aqui, the ghetto

The ghetto of my mind

You know we wild it up, wild it up

Wild it up, wild it up

Wild it up, wild it up

Wild it up, wild it up

Oh, we wild it up, wild it up

Oh, wild it up, wild it up

Oh, wild it up, wild it up

Wild it up, wild it up

Outside my window the noise is all I've got

There are no stars in the sky

Just the sirens and queens

Breakin' glass down in the parkin' lot

Yeah, that's the world where I live

Sometimes I wonder, oh, how can I go on everyday

But I know that the world you make inside your head

That's the one you see around, that's what I said

Yeah, but the one you see is the one that you make

Inside of the ghetto

The ghetto of your mind

Y aqui, the ghetto

The ghetto of my mind

Hey c'mon now

We wild it up, wild it up

We wild it up, wild it up

Hey, we wild it up, wild it up

Oh, we wild it up, wild it up

Oh, we wild it up, wild it up

Oh, we wild it up, wild it up

Oh, we wild, wild

Oh, we wild, wild

Wild it, wild it

Oh, we wild it, wild it

Oh, we wild it, wild it

Wild it up

The ghetto of my mind

It's the way I feel the ghetto

In the ghetto of my mind

The ghetto
