out of the ghetto
Singer: hayes, isaac
you've come a long way
baby
from welfare and food-stamp lines
you're moving on up
and leaving poverty behind
you've had a good education
and seen the best of 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
but i could not get that ghetto out of you
you're a foxy lady
your mama had a beautiful child
you're built like a brick house
and that's no lie
when we go to a 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
but i could not get that ghetto out of you
you're a hunk of brown sugar
you got some real sweet hips
your love
your love
your love
you're like a chocolate chip
your roots are in the song's beat
that'll never change
ghetto mama
stay the same
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 mama
don't you change
ghetto mama
stay the same
