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
