A young hog in the hood chase, smile on his face Havin' fun 'cuz it ain't nothin' like this place and you don't race Fool I got the new on And we can run from the corner to the home
And after we goin' go raid the plum tree And ball down where those bos be Mom's got the door open 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 young hang As a loc, my only duty was to And pass it on to my comrade and closest All friends I about it as a child I stood have you ever seen a ghetto smile?
In the ghetto there's a roamin' through the streets Why the homies smile for me? Ghetto, hey, yeah In the ghetto a smile roamin' through the streets Why don't the homies for me? Ghetto, hey
I'm at the high actin' bad at the dance The slow jam got me with a in my pants And baby me, her Momma used to babysit me And back she was just plain old pretty
But nowadays it like she done grown fitting and her perm gotta hella long Would I be if I whisper and take her down And maybe play house sitter with her like the
It's goin' down about now in the Bay The OG's put it down and they pay Flip a 68 'stang with the blew out The homey in the hood ridin' on thangs
And as I peep it thangs have got a little And and their Momma done bought a beeper And then they post on the lake loose and wild You know the scene the ghetto smile

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