Ghetto
James Leela Lyrics

She's gettin' ghetto up in here
She is becoming aggressive and confrontational

She be like, "One Mississippi, two Mississippi rock!"
She counts down to get ready for a fight

Backed up
Feeling threatened or cornered

Like I said before, he's my man.
Asserting authority over a man she considers her partner

What part of that conversation don't you understand?
Asking why the other person is not comprehending her message

The gloves gonna come off, grease up my face, put you in your place
She is preparing for physical confrontation

Didn't want to scrap, poppin' on the cap when ya gotta fall back ?
She didn't initiate the fight, but has to retaliate to protect herself

Tryin' to be a lady but you keep pushin' me
She wants to maintain her composure, but the other person keeps provoking her

It's gonna get pretty.
The situation is going to escalate and get chaotic

Leave me alone, go on by the way stop, throw another cell phone ?
The other person is throwing objects in her direction

When you had him, you mistreated him
She believes the other person didn't treat the man well when they were together

Now I found him and I'm feedin' him
She is taking care of the man and providing him with affection

And he's happy, there's no drama
The man is content and the relationship is peaceful

So you can save those hardy notes for the doctor
The other person's complaints or criticisms will not be taken seriously

'Cause I ain't givin' him up
She is not relinquishing her hold on the man

I'm lovin' him up
She is showing the man love and affection

Me and him every night, drinkin' from the same cup
She and the man are physically close and intimate

They say you don't know a good thing 'til it's gone
She knows the value of the man now that she has him

And now I found him in my arms
She has the man in a romantic embrace

Took advantage of his kindess
The other person exploited the man's good nature

Didn't appreciate his sweetness
The other person did not value the man's good character

Now I'm present, you're the past
The other person is no longer relevant

Ain't my fault what y'all had didn't last
She is not responsible for their past relationship failing

See, I wanna kill the confusion
She wants to clear up any misunderstanding or uncertainty

(Girl, there ain't no confusion)
There is no confusion from her side

I want you to know it's me he's lovin'
She wants to make it clear that the man is choosing her

(You know it's you I'm lovin')
The other person is not getting the man's attention or affection

I'm even thinking about having his children
She is considering starting a family with the man

So, I think you should go find yourself a new boy
She suggests that the other person move on and find someone else

Have you ever been in a party,
She asks a rhetorical question to make a point

Droppin' your sexy and bottles
She describes the scene of a party

Came flyin' in your direction?
Objects are being thrown in her direction

Turned around saw two kitty-cats fightin'?
She saw two women fighting like cats

Tried to play the good Samaritan,
She attempted to be a peacemaker

Now your face is scratchin'
She got involved and ended up getting hurt

They're gettin' pretty, pretty, gettin' ?
The situation is escalating and getting chaotic

Someone call security bout to be an outbreak
The situation is about to turn violent and requires intervention

Stillettos comin' off ?
She is ready to physically fight

When the cops break it down half the party's in my loff
She will come out victorious when law enforcement arrives

Uh, uh, don't make me ghetto.
She warns the other person not to provoke her aggressive behavior
