Ghetto
Dream ft. Big Sean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jesus on my charm: "Amen to that"
Laid back in the Maybach 57 or 62
Floating down the coast in the heli-
Shawty, that's what I do, I'm gettin stacks of this on accident
My daughter's 5 what's that mean?
My daughter's daughter is already rich
I'm gettin involved, quit playing simp
She says she miss riding it
I say I miss her on me, holdin' it down
I certainly miss how she grinds it
And she says she miss havin' me around
She all up on me singin' my songs
And it feels like I'm fuckin' my fan
Screamin' all night goin' "Baby you already know"
Climaxing on my hand, she runnin it back, workin it
Like you don't understand
She wants that old thing back
That ride it like a pony
That "get up in the morning and put it on me"
She's so horny, she wants that old thing back
That "mm-hmm, gimme some"
Rocket shit, that rocket ship don't stop til I'm done
[Chorus]
She want that ghetto, ghetto, and I got that ghetto
Ghetto, ghetto, and I got that ghetto
Ghetto, ghetto, and I got that ghetto
She want that ghetto, she need that ghetto
Like ghetto, ghetto, and I got that ghetto
Ghetto, ghetto, she want that ghetto
She need that ghetto, she want that ghetto
That ghetto, ghetto, that um-hum ghetto
She said "Dream do it to me like this
Why can't you do it to me like that?"
For the last forty eight months, you can't front
I put that ass on the map
See I created this sound, yes sir I shut it down
There's only one #1
There other niggas my sons
And you can never be, be like me
And you can never do it, do it like me
Ain't none of these niggas seeing me
Ain't none of these niggas repeating me
Ain't none of these niggas defeating me
Unless they get me to murk myself
I just murked myself
She wants that old thing back
That ride it like a pony
That "get up in the morning and put it on me"
She's so horny, she wants that old thing back
That "mm-hmm, gimme some"
Rocket shit, that rocket ship don't stop til I'm done
[Chorus]
She want that
Real nigga on the wishlist, used to blow me off
Now she tryna blow me kisses
Walk into the room, tell me how could I miss it?
Girl, you working like you need assistance, tipping
Girl you workin' like you need a pension
Bent that thang over, let a nigga pinch it
Rich nigga shit: I could put you on a boat
Popping champagne, now you look like its Big Pimpin
I work all day, fuck all night, finna to make you cuss all night
"Shit fuck damn!" lemme know I do it right
Pussy so good I'mma have to do it twice
Bend over let a real nigga taste that
Fuck around, need a placemat
See my call log - a nigga has to erase that
Send me a text, smiley face chat saying:
Wanna to show you how much I appreciate you
Wanna show you how much how much I'm dedicated to you
Wanna show you how much I will forever be true
Wanna show you how much you have a nigga feeling good
Wanna show you how much, how much you're understood
Wanna show you how much I value what you say
Not only are you loyal, but you're patient with me, babe
Wanna to show you how much I care about your heart
Show you how much I don't like (like) being apart
Wanna show you, show you, show you 'til you're hearin' me
Keep it how it is, so we can never say how it used to be
I'll be you, so that time will by
And I can't help but to think about you day and night boo
After the snow boo, it's me and you boo
Baby dance for me, baby dance for me
And baby put that body on my body
Work that shit like my Ferrari
Tonight it's goin' down

Rolly on my arm let me get my swagger back
I'm wearing a fancy watch to feel confident again
Jesus on my charm: "Amen to that"
My jewelry reminds me of my faith, and I agree with it
Laid back in the Maybach 57 or 62
I'm relaxing in a luxurious car
Floating down the coast in the heli-
I'm flying by helicopter along the shoreline
Shawty, that's what I do, I'm gettin stacks of this on accident
I'm making a lot of money without even trying
My daughter's 5 what's that mean?
My child is young, what significance does that have?
My daughter's daughter is already rich
My granddaughter is wealthy
I'm gettin involved, quit playing simp
I'm taking action, stop acting weak

I'm using my influence to manipulate record labels for my benefit
She says she miss riding it
She says she misses having sex with me
I say I miss her on me, holdin' it down
I say I miss her on top of me, staying in control
I certainly miss how she grinds it
I really miss the way she moves her body during sex
And she says she miss havin' me around
And she says she misses being close to me
She all up on me singin' my songs
She's all over me, singing along to my music
And it feels like I'm fuckin' my fan
It feels like I'm having sex with one of my fans
Screamin' all night goin' "Baby you already know"
We're screaming all night, saying "You already know" to each other
Climaxing on my hand, she runnin it back, workin it
She's climaxing and then continuing to masturbate, working herself back up
Like you don't understand
As if you don't get it
She wants that old thing back
She wants to go back to how things used to be between us
That ride it like a pony
That dominate me during sex
That "get up in the morning and put it on me"
That have sex with me first thing in the morning
She's so horny, she wants that old thing back
She's sexually aroused and wants to relive our past experiences
That "mm-hmm, gimme some"
That yes, give me some sex
Rocket shit, that rocket ship don't stop til I'm done
This intercourse is so good, it's like a rocket ship and I won't stop until I orgasm
[Chorus]
Repeating the catchy chorus
She said "Dream do it to me like this
She told me to have sex with her a certain way
Why can't you do it to me like that?"
Why can't our sex be like it was before?
For the last forty eight months, you can't front
For nearly four years, you can't deny this
I put that ass on the map
I made that body famous
See I created this sound, yes sir I shut it down
I invented this style of music, and I'm the best at it
There's only one #1
There's only one winner, and that's me
There other niggas my sons
All the other musicians are like my children
And you can never be, be like me
And no one can ever be like me
And you can never do it, do it like me
And no one can ever do it like me
Ain't none of these niggas seeing me
No one can match me
Ain't none of these niggas repeating me
No one can replicate my style
Ain't none of these niggas defeating me
No one can beat me
Unless they get me to murk myself
Unless they manipulate me into harming myself
I just murked myself
I just messed up and ruined my own reputation
[Chorus]
Repeating the catchy chorus
She want that
She wants a certain type of man
Real nigga on the wishlist, used to blow me off
A high-quality man was once uninterested in me
Now she tryna blow me kisses
Now she's interested and flirting with me
Walk into the room, tell me how could I miss it?
She walks in the room and catches my attention
Girl, you working like you need assistance, tipping
You're moving your body like you need help with it, making me want to give you money
Girl you workin' like you need a pension
You're working so hard, it's like you need a retirement fund
Bent that thang over, let a nigga pinch it
Bend over and let me slap your butt
Rich nigga shit: I could put you on a boat
I'm so wealthy, I could take you on a luxurious boat ride
Popping champagne, now you look like its Big Pimpin
Drinking champagne makes you look like a famous playboy
I work all day, fuck all night, finna to make you cuss all night
I work hard during the day and have sex at night, making you scream and curse all night
"Shit fuck damn!" lemme know I do it right
Hearing you curse lets me know I'm doing a good job
Pussy so good I'mma have to do it twice
Sex with you is so amazing, I need to do it more than once
Bend over let a real nigga taste that
Bend over and let me eat you out
Fuck around, need a placemat
Sex with you is so messy, I might need a placemat to protect the sheets
See my call log - a nigga has to erase that
I need to delete my call history, because it's full of other women
Send me a text, smiley face chat saying:
Send me a flirty text message
Wanna to show you how much I appreciate you
I want to show you how much I value you
Wanna show you how much how much I'm dedicated to you
I want to show you how committed I am to you
Wanna show you how much I will forever be true
I want to show you how I will always be loyal to you
Wanna show you how much you have a nigga feeling good
I want to show you how happy you make me
Wanna show you how much, how much you're understood
I want to show you how well I understand you
Wanna show you how much I value what you say
I want to show you how important your words are to me
Not only are you loyal, but you're patient with me, babe
You're not just loyal, but also patient with me
Wanna to show you how much I care about your heart
I want to show you how much I care about your emotions
Show you how much I don't like (like) being apart
Show you how much I dislike being separated from you
Wanna show you, show you, show you 'til you're hearin' me
I want to keep showing you my love until you understand me completely
Keep it how it is, so we can never say how it used to be
Let's keep our relationship the same, so we never have to reminisce about the past
I'll be you, so that time will by
I'll stay by your side, so that time will pass by quickly
And I can't help but to think about you day and night boo
I can't stop thinking about you, day and night
After the snow boo, it's me and you boo
We'll be together even when times are tough
Baby dance for me, baby dance for me
Dance seductively for me
And baby put that body on my body
And put your body against mine
Work that shit like my Ferrari
Move your body like you're driving my expensive car
Tonight it's goin' down
We're going to have sex tonight

LOVE this song and the rest of the 1977 album. I'm a bit disappointed that they left out the last part of the song but it's still good. For all of you haters, you need to realize that The-Dream has produced probably half of the songs that you love. He's incredibly talented.

He finished it and gave it to Bey. Threw me the first time I heard Dance for You and knew the words
