[00:27.93] When I was a young boy
[00:29.96] Growing up in the ghetto
[00:31.83] Hanging out on corners
[00:33.98] Singin' with the fellas
[00:35.87] Lookin' for the Gypsy
[00:38.15] Trying to find a bit of fun
[00:40.02] Looking for some trouble
[00:42.21] Or anyone who'll give me some
[00:44.23] I was young and crazy (In the ghetto)
[00:48.35] Didn't know what my life would be (In the ghetto)
[00:52.27] I was dumb and oh so lazy (In the ghetto)
[00:56.23] Something had a spell on me (In the ghetto)
[01:00.40] You wanna know what I'm talkin' bout?
[01:01.96] Talkin' 'bout ghetto life
[01:04.85] Ghetto Liiiiiiiiiiiife
[01:08.75] You wanna know what I'm singin' 'bout?
[01:10.24] Talkin' 'bout ghetto life
[01:13.07] Ghetto Liiiiiiiiiiiife
[01:17.15] When I was a young man
[01:18.92] Kind of free and fancy
[01:21.00] Met this little cute girl
[01:22.97] She said her name was Nancy
[01:24.76] She had pigtails to her shoulders
[01:27.25] She couldn't have been much older
[01:28.99] She taught me what I had to know
[01:31.12] To make a girl not want to go
[01:33.20] She was very kinky
[01:35.57] In the ghetto
[01:37.40] She laid her pigtails down on me
[01:39.94] In the ghetto
[01:41.42] And I was feeling oh so sneaky
[01:44.74] In the ghetto
[01:45.81] I had to see what love could be
[01:48.61] In the ghetto
[01:50.45] I knew it all along
[01:52.87] That my game was strong
[01:56.48] But I was wrong that time
[01:59.53] I knew I had to pray
[02:01.00] And give myself away
[02:03.49] Did you think I was man enough? Yeah
[02:05.30] Did you think I was smart enough? Yeah
[02:07.76] Did you think I was strong enough? Yeah
[02:09.52] Did you think I'd work it out?
[02:14.60] The Ghetto Life
[02:21.91] Sing it to ya, hit it baby baby
[02:24.14] Talkin 'bout ghetto life
[02:26.78] You got to get on over
[02:28.50] Talkin 'bout ghetto life
[02:30.75] When I was a young boy
[02:32.92] Tenements, slums and corner bums
[02:34.90] Playing tag with winos
[02:37.03] The only way to have some fun
[02:39.10] One thing 'bout the ghetto
[02:41.04] You don't have to hurry
[02:43.13] It'll be there tommorow
[02:45.20] So brother don't you worry
