Ghetto Wonderland
Tina Turner · Other Songs - Tina Turner
In the street glass is glistnen. It's a pertiful sight we're drinking tonight.
Walking in a ghetto wonderland.
In the ghetto we can build a crakhouse. And pretend that Busta Rhymes's
in town.
He'll say, "R u smokin?"
We'll say, "Naw man"
You can hook us up when u have time.
Later on we'll expire
As we hurl by the fire.
It's not a pertiful sight
when we're hurlin tonight
Livin in da ghetto Wonderland.
