Ghetto Love

This ain't gon work man)
[Intro:]
She's calling me again
2 way with a secret code
Here I go again
Preparing to leave
Pay the bar off these chicks won't let me go
(To the one in the red dress) I'mma se what I can do about that
(To the one in the white shirt) get me back to the one in the black, girl,
I'mma get that
(Here I go again)
On the freeway, me and shorty at the getaway
(Here I go again)
Tearin' it up
Can't get to sleep cos I'm thinking about my girl
[Chorus:]
And I'm tired of these games
different faces different names
I know something's gotta change
That ain't how I wanna live
Every night different chick
I gotta hit the models
At the parties in the city that never sleeps
But I know when I touchdown my girl's got that ghetto love
___ Prada and the soul provider
Gotta chase the game pickin up can't break the shame
but I know when I touchdown my girl's got that ghetto love
(and I'm thinking)
[Verse 2:]
What you got your flight, 2am up on the red eye
(but I'm thinking)
If I see my girl, she's gonna see the cheating in my eye
Better hope not ____
Went to the bathroom to clean my hands
Took a look in the mirror
Hope that the ___ wish that I had my girl here instead
(I started thinking)
Maybe I'm buggin'
Maybe I just wanna get with other women
(but I'm thinking)
That don't make no sense, cos none of them measure up to what she gives
[Chorus:]
And I'm tired of these games
Different faces different names
I know something's gotta change
That ain't how I wanna live
Every night different chick
I gotta hit the models
At the parties in the city that never sleeps
But I know when I touchdown my girl's got that ghetto love
___ Prada and the soul provider
Gotta chase the game pickin up can't break the shame
but I know when I touchdown my girl's got that ghetto love
(and I'm thinking)
[Bridge:]
Maybe I'll just call my girl and tell her that I need her ghetto love
(That ghetto love)
Maybe I should just leave
Grab the keys to my car, cos I don't think she'll get my ghetto love
(What am I doing?)
Maybe I should take a minute clear my head before I jump the gun
(I know what I need)
Cos I know what I need right now and it's gotta be my ghetto love
[Chorus:]
That ain't how I wanna live
Every night different chick
I gotta hit the models
At the parties in the city that never sleeps
but I know when I touchdown my girl's got that ghetto love
___ Prada and the soul provider
Gotta chase the game pickin up can't break the shame
but I know when I touchdown my girl's got that ghetto love
[Outro:]
I ain't goin nowhwere
I'm staying right here
Oh God,.
