Lyrics

[00:03.43] Ghetto ghetto dreams
[00:04.60] Ghetto niggas' dreams
[00:06.56] Ghetto ghetto dreams
[00:09.35] Ghetto niggas' dreams
[00:11.91] Ghetto dreams
[00:14.43] Ghetto niggas' dreams
[00:16.74] From the hood
[00:18.33]
[00:18.99] I want a bitch that look good and cook good
[00:22.05] Cinderella fancy, but she still look hood
[00:24.47] Butt naked in the kitchen flipping pancakes
[00:27.00] Plus she tricking from the dough that her man makes
[00:29.40] We got our own handshake
[00:30.86] Her titties ain't fake
[00:31.78] F-cking in the car cause we just can't wait to get home
[00:34.25] Early in the morn' getting stoned
[00:36.48] Pretty with her eyes low, runny by Bible
[00:39.10] The type of bitch that BIG said he would die for
[00:41.54] Is the type that I would rather stay alive for
[00:43.94] Tatts on her back, looking all tribal
[00:46.23] She know shoes like she know survival
[00:48.90] Well put together, she weathers the storm
[00:51.01] Seen her brother die so forever she's strong
[00:53.42] Hear Beyonce's song and she gotta perform
[00:55.84] Whether f-cking or fighting: we getting it on!
[00:58.63]
[00:59.12] Ghetto dreams
[01:00.59] Ghetto ghetto dreams
[01:02.79] Ghetto niggas' dreams
[01:05.17] Ghetto ghetto dreams
[01:07.83] Ghetto niggas' dreams
[01:10.04] Ghetto dreams
[01:12.64] Ghetto niggas' dreams
[01:14.83] From the hood
[01:17.03]
[01:17.55] I don't even say shit, she can feel it
[01:20.41] I toss the realest, sold nails acrylic
[01:22.88] Ass is a weapon and it's hard to conceal it
[01:25.48] Baby in one arm, the other is a skillet
[01:27.78] Fried chicken, macaroni
[01:30.18] Raised on the back of Stony
[01:31.01] Ghetto press, she's my apolonni like
[01:32.22] Tony, Montana
[01:33.46] Reminded me of mio ma or my mama
[01:36.55] Knowing the drama like she know when to joke
[01:39.94] Steal a nigga's squares, not wanting me to smoke
[01:42.19] I poke my head out of Benzes
[01:44.21] My beats is the streets and I know who my friends is
[01:46.79] In this love for the money, power and clothes
[01:49.59] My ghetto housewife watch reality shows
[01:51.92] She might get to snapping if the canvas aint closed
[01:54.34] When the cameras snap snapping, she's ready to pose
[01:57.22]
[01:57.65] Ghetto dreams
[01:58.96] Ghetto ghetto dreams
[02:01.53] Ghetto niggas' dreams
[02:03.88] Ghetto ghetto dreams
[02:06.32] Ghetto niggas' dreams
[02:08.54] Ghetto dreams
[02:11.04] Ghetto niggas' dreams
[02:13.67] From the hood
[02:16.79] Verse 3: Nas
[02:17.28] I notice all my flaws when it comes to writing rhymes
[02:18.87] Subject matter be changing too quickly at times
[02:21.21] So I keep it strictly 'bout dimes and stick to the story
[02:23.71] Call me a pro in the p-ssy category
[02:26.28] Had explicit experiences I shouldn't mention
[02:28.54] For me, getting women turn from sport to addiction
[02:30.92] Powerful women playing the roles of submission
[02:33.47] Lawyers on leashes
[02:34.79] Congress women inflicting pain onto my game
[02:37.14] Warned that I'm sadistic
[02:38.50] They liked it, they diked it, devices twisted
[02:40.80] Til I get a nice chick, to get me on some nice shit
[02:43.28] Crib raising kids, labrador behind a white fence
[02:45.66] But I'm still single, looking for Cleopatra
[02:48.11] African Queen, yo look at me, I'm a bachelor
[02:50.70] Y'all niggas in trouble, keeping girls behind closed doors
[02:52.85] Cross your fingers, be happy I haven't chose yours
[02:55.65] She loves glamour bought Vera Wang sandals
[02:58.05] Valentino bags is my etiquette
[03:00.35] My man is half hood half class
[03:01.57] Photographers cameras caught us out there
[03:03.83] The spotlight, I hope she can handle
[03:05.40] She can join me, red carpet at my next non-profit
[03:07.47] Event having sponsored by some alcohol product
[03:10.04] Jumping out a Bentley with some fresh red bottoms
[03:12.40] You live the dream with me when you are just in the projects
[03:15.23]
[03:15.69] Ghetto dreams
[03:16.83] Ghetto ghetto dreams
[03:19.33] Ghetto niggas' dreams
[03:21.54] Ghetto ghetto dreams
[03:24.44] Ghetto niggas' dreams
[03:26.97] Ghetto dreams
[03:29.06] Ghetto niggas' dreams
[03:31.60] From the hood
