When I was a young boy
Growing up in the ghetto
Hanging out on corners
Singin' with the fellas
Lookin' for the cute chicks
Trying to find a bit of fun
Looking for some trouble
Or anyone who'll give me some
I was young and crazy
In the ghetto
Didn't know what my life would be
In the ghetto
I was dumb and oh so lazy
In the ghetto
Something had a spell on me
In the ghetto
You wanna know what I'm talkin' bout?
Talkin' 'bout ghetto life
Ghetto Liiiiiiiiiiiife
You wanna know what I'm singin' 'bout?
Talkin' 'bout ghetto life
Ghetto Liiiiiiiiiiiife
When I was a young man
Kind of free and fancy
Met this little cute girl
She said her name was Nancy
She had pigtails to her shoulders
She couldn't have been much older
She taught me what I had to know
To make a girl not want to go
She was very kinky
In the ghetto
She laid her pigtails down on me
In the ghetto
And I was feeling oh so sneaky
In the ghetto
I had to see what love could be
In the ghetto
I knew it all along
That my game was strong
But I was wrong that time
I knew I had to pray
And give myself away
Did you think I was man enough?
Yeah
Did you think I was smart enough?
Yeah
Did you think I was strong enough?
Yeah
Did you think I'd work it out?
The Ghetto Life
Sing it to ya, hit it baby baby
Talkin 'bout ghetto life
You got to get on over
Talkin 'bout ghetto life
When I was a young boy
Tenements, slums and corner bums
Playing tag with winos
The only way to have some fun
One thing 'bout the ghetto
You don't have to hurry
It'll be there tommorow
So brother don't you worry
Ghetto Life
Talking 'bout ghetto life
Talking 'bout Ghettoo Liiiiiiiiife
Ghetto Life, baby
Talkin' 'bout ghetto life
Life
Life
Ghetto Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii(Talkin' 'bout ghetto life)iiioooooo la la la la life
Shoop Shoop Shoop Shoop, Shoop be doop in the ghetto
People we got to get over

Talkin' 'bout the life
Shoop Shoop Shoop Shoop, Shoop be doop in the ghetto

Ghetto Land that's the place we funk

Where the place, we like to funk
Ghetto Land, that's the place
Where we funk from day to day

Rick James, born James Ambrose Johnson Jr. (Buffalo, February 1, 1948 – Los Angeles, August 6, 2004), was an American singer, musician, and record producer. Considered a pioneer of funk and contemporary soul, he achieved success in the 1980s with hits like "Super Freak", "Give It To Me Baby" and "You and I".
