(talking) In the ghetto Things dont always turn out the way You would expect them to Thats how it goes Its real life Check it She was a brick house bangin Ill shoe game and No regular cat could get that She only wanted two things A puppy and a man that Wanted more than to just hit that Well out on the block ( ??? ) What did she spot a Pretty thug walkin a baby rot wiler Pow They caught eyes It was love at first sight Crazy how somethin that seems so right can go wroongg See it didnt take too long For her to see just what this dude was on He was a good dude true and deep But he liked to make his money runnin the street So she hit him with its either the block or me And the beautiful thing suddenly ugly But thats how it goes See that aint nothin but a ghetto love story And in the ghetto It doesnt always have a happy ending But thats how it goes See that aint nothin but a ghetto love story And in the ghetto It doesnt always have a happy ending But thats how it goes So she stay maintain and She dont wana be alone But every time he leave the house She be worried bout If hes even gona come back home It seems no matter what she say He must make that paper just Gotta get his hustle on But it hurts him to his heart cus his love is strong And though hes tryna make things right for her All she see's is wrong All he can do is keep on Cus she dont understand just what hes on You see he loved her true and deep But he had to make his paper in these streets So she hit him with its either the block or me And the beautiful thing suddenly ugly But thats how it goes See that aint nothin but a ghetto love story And in the ghetto It doesnt always have a happy ending But thats how it goes See that aint nothin but a ghetto love story And in the ghetto It doesnt always have a happy ending
