Out Of The Ghetto - Isaac Hayes Written by:Isaac Hayes You've come a long way baby From wealth and food stamp lines You're moving on up And leaving poverty behind You've had a good education And seen the best of the schools But when you take a drink The ghetto comes out of you I took you out of the ghetto (I took you out of the ghetto) I took you out of the ghetto (I took you out of the ghetto) I took you out of the ghetto (I took you out of the ghetto) But I could not get that ghetto out of you You're a foxy lady Your mamma had a beautiful child You're built like a brick house And that's no lie When we go to the disco You drive the fellas wild When you shake your booty Ghetto style I took you out of the ghetto (I took you out of the ghetto) I took you out of the ghetto (I took you out of the ghetto) I took you out of the ghetto (I took you out of the ghetto) But I could not get that ghetto out of you When we go to the disco You're a hunk of raw sugar Your love your love your love Is like a honey drip Your roots are in the mean streets That'll never change Ghetto mamma Stay the same I took you out of the ghetto (I took you out of the ghetto) I took you out of the ghetto (I took you out of the ghetto) I took you out of the ghetto (I took you out of the ghetto) But I could not get that ghetto out of you Ghetto mamma don't you change Ghetto mamma stay the same Ghetto mamma stay the same Ghetto mamma stay the same
