All Ghetto Girl
Tyrese · I Wanna Go There
[Tyrese]
Can somebody, tell me what's goin on.
I'm getting tired of fake, rich wannabes
running up my card, spending my money
acting all smart, with no degrees
don't like my friends, cuz you're too bougie, yeah
never wanna go to an R&B/Hip Hop show, (never wanna go to see
hip hop)
it's funny but I had more
fun when I had no dough, I need a girl from the ghetto.
[Chorus]
I need an all ghetto girl, I need a bad motha with designer
toes, tatoos and golds, straight up
ghetto, don't matter if I aint got no dough, she's gonna be my
boo gonna be my crew, oh ghetto
girl.
[Tyrese]
I need a girl from BK, or the boogie down
Compton Longbeach, or maybe Chi-Town
the ATL, or the Dirty South
she can be from Watts, cuz that's my part of town, heyyy,
Never wanna go to an R&B/Hip Hop show, she's acting up but it...
funny but I had more fun when I had no dough, I need a girl from
the ghetto
