Ghetto Girl
Little ghetto girl so sassy and sanguine
Afro puffs, old shaggy dress, and a big grin
Rushing home from school to lend mama a hand
The little shadow, learning womanhood firsthand
An excursion outside before the lights begin to flicker
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake baker's man, ghetto laughs before dinner
Hot Cheetos eating and Faygo Orange drinking
Hot topics talking and little boys thinking
Hopscotching and double-dutching
Finger snapping and bus stopping
Now, in the house, she goes for a hot meal and study
Tomorrow, back to school to reunite with her little buddies
