Ghetto
August Alsina Feat. Yo Gotti Lyrics

She got a Bugatti body, yeah she a beast in the streets
She has a curvaceous body and carries herself confidently in public

She from the projects, the hood, you know, same spot as me
She grew up in the same low-income neighborhood as I did

I told her "We already rich, shawty, I need a freak"
I informed her that we have enough money and now I want someone who is sexually adventurous

Do some secrets to you, you do some secrets to me
We can share our secrets with each other in confidence

I won't tell nobody, remind me of Yaris
I promise to keep her secrets safe, just like my previous car Yaris was reliable

Peep the oven and foreign, shawty ride with a real nigga
She appreciates the luxury and features of my foreign car and likes to ride with a trustworthy person

Say V-12 turn her on, ex-boyfriend won't leave her alone
She is attracted to powerful engines and her ex-boyfriend is still pursuing her

She livin' in the past, tryna move it on, just need one day with me alone
She struggles to leave her past behind but hopes that spending time with me will help her move on

Same house I'm was trappin' at, same house I'm was stashin' in
The house where I used to deal drugs and hide my money is the same as the one where we are currently located

In the front room on the couch, tryna knock her back in
We are having sex on the couch in the living room

Making love on the dope money, she in love with a dope boy
We are having sexual pleasure using the money earned from drug dealing and she is romantically involved with me as a drug dealer

And she ain't worried 'bout them other hoes, old boy Mike got one
She is not concerned about other women and knows I am only with her, unlike my friend Mike who has multiple partners

Don't be ashamed of the projects shawty, let 'em know you a project shawty
She should not feel embarrassed about her origins and should be proud of being from the projects

Pieces to the puzzle and there's levels to shit shit, them other hoes can't buy that shawty
We have a deep connection and understanding that other women cannot compete with, and there are different levels of experiences in life.

I'm from the ghetto, doors on the Lam say hello
I come from an impoverished area and my luxury car speaks for itself

Ass in the pen like jello, lookin real real good in them stilettos, but she still ghetto
She may have a nice body and wear fancy shoes, but she still has roots in the ghetto

I love the way you keep them heels on
I enjoy seeing her in high heels

Hair ain't yours but it's paid for and it's real long
Her hair is a weave, but she invested money in it and it looks natural and long

Show them tattoos when you switch it up with your J's on
She displays her tattoos when she changes into her Jordan sneakers

And you got an ass so fat that I can't help but to feel on
She has a curvy buttock that I can't resist touching

And you keep it real when it comes to having sex, girl you don't ever flex
She is honest and genuine during intimate moments and doesn't pretend to be someone she's not

Long as I fuck you good, you ain't worried bout what's next
As long as I am satisfying her in bed, she is not worried about anything else

That's why I keep you here, you ain't like them other hoes
She sets herself apart from other women, and therefore I choose to keep her around

'Cause you ain't got a half a million dollar condo
She doesn't have an expensive home

And you ain't got a hundred thousand dollar car
She doesn't have an expensive car

But you got a billion dollar body, trust me I know
She has an attractive body that I value highly

You keep it hood no matter where you are
She sticks to her roots and remains true to where she came from

'Cause you come from the ghetto, love 'em from the ghetto
We both from the ghetto, and I understand her background and love her for it

Girl you're the type I like, that's why I keep you right, you out the ghetto
She is exactly the kind of girl I am attracted to and I keep her close even though she is no longer in the ghetto

Ain't afraid to let it show baby, go on let them know
She is not ashamed of where she came from, and should let others know

You out the ghetto, better let 'em know
She is no longer in the ghetto, and should let people know

You from the ghetto, better let 'em know
She should acknowledge her roots and not forget where she is from

Ghetto, better let'em know
She should always be proud of her origins and represent her community

Better let'em know, you out that G-H-E-T-T-O
She should inform others that she left the ghetto and is doing well for herself.

You hold it down
She is reliable and can be counted on

And you never let them haters come around
She protects me from negativity and people who want to bring me down

Girl that's why I keep you on speed dial, just in case some shit get bad
I keep her number readily available in case of an emergency

Keep that ratchet in your bag and a little cash
She has a weapon and some money on her at all times

Just in case I need you
She can assist me if and when necessary

If they lock me down I know I'd see you, that's without a doubt
If I go to jail, I know she will be there for me without hesitation

I know you understand how it go but you're down for the ride
She understands the risks involved in our lifestyle, but is willing to stick with me through it all
