歌曲名 Ghetto Life (1981+Live In Long Beach, Ca) 歌手名 Rick James

When I was a young boy

Growing up in the ghetto

Hanging out on corners

Singing with the fellas

Looking 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

Didn't know what my life would be

I was dumb and oh so lazy

Something had a spell on me

You wanna know what I'm talkin' bout

Ghetto Life

You wanna know what I'm singin' 'bout

Ghetto Life

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

She laid her pigtails down on me

And I was feeling oh so sneaky

I had to see what love could be

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

Did you think I'd work it out

The 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

Ghetto Life baby

Talkin' 'bout ghetto life

Where's the place we funk

Ghetto Land that's the place we funk

Where's the place we funk

Ghetto Land that's the place we funk

Where's the place we funk

Where's the place we funk

Where's the place we funk

Where's the place we funk
