Out of the Ghetto

You've come a long way, baby

From welfare and food stamp lines

You're movin' on up

And leavin' poverty behind

You've had a good education

You've seen the best of the schools

But when you take a drink

The ghetto comes out of you

I took you out of the ghetto

I took you out of the ghetto

I took you out of the ghetto

I took you out of the ghetto

I took you out of the ghetto

I took you out of the ghetto

But I could not get that ghetto out of you

You're a foxy lady

Your mama had a beautiful child

You're built like a brick house

And that's no lie

When we go to the disco

You drive the fellas wild

When you shake your booty

Ghetto style

I took you out of the ghetto

I took you out of the ghetto

I took you out of the ghetto

I took you out of the ghetto

I took you out of the ghetto

I took you out of the ghetto

But I could not get that ghetto out of you

You're a hunk of raw sugar

You got some real sweet hips

Your love, your love, your love

Is like a honey drip

Your roots are in the mean streets

That'll never change

Ghetto mama

Stay the same

I took you out of the ghetto

I took you out of the ghetto

I took you out of the ghetto

I took you out of the ghetto

I took you out of the ghetto

I took you out of the ghetto

But I could not get that ghetto out of you

Ghetto mama, don't you change

Ghetto mama, stay the same

Ghetto mama, don't you change

Ghetto mama, stay the same

Ghetto mama, don't you change

Ghetto mama, stay the same

Ghetto mama, don't you change

Ghetto mama, stay the same

Ghetto mama, don't you change
