A young hog in the hood playin' chase 
Smile on his face 
Havin' fun 'cause it ain't nothin' like this place 
And you don't want to race 
Fool I got the new ones on 
And we can run from the corner to the Newman's home 
And after that we goin' go raid the plum tree 
And stick ball down where those bos be 
Mom's got the door open bumpin' Marvin Gaye 
Let's get it on all day everyday 
At night I pray 
Lord just let me make it 
And if I die before I wake then my soul you take it 
Never fake it 
My older brother taught me game 
And sometimes even let the young soldier hang 
As a lock 
My only duty was to soak 
And pass it on to my comrads and closest folks 
All friends I knew about it as a child 
I stood proud have you ever seen a ghetto smile? 
I'm at the junior high actin' bad at the dance 
The slow jam got me with a woody in my pants 
And my baby with me 
Her Momma used to babysit me 
And back then she was just plain old pretty 
But nowadays it seems that she done grown 
Jeans fitting and her perm gotta hella long 
Would I be wrong if I whisper and take her down 
And maybe play housesitter with her like the Pound 
It's goin' down about now in the Northern Bay 
The OG's put it down and make they pay 
Flip a 6-8 'stang with the blew out braids 
The only homey in the hood ridin' on thangs 
And as I peep it thangs have got a little deeper 
And everybody and their Momma done bought a beeper 
And then they post on the lake gettin' loose and wild 
You know the scene it's the ghetto smile 
At 18 I graduated and now I'm grown 
About time for the dog to get his own bone 
I left home got a condo out on Quailridge 
And like a king is how this young playa live 
Swimmin' parties in the pool with my dope to roll 
Wasn't trippin' off nathin' we was all folks 
Hillside in the house and we gettin' perved 
Freestylin' gettin' on my neighbor's nerves 
I love the hood so everyday I'm back to visit 
And swoop the young so that they can come through and kick it 
And peep the game just as I did as a kid 
And watch the savage get his cabbage and place his bid 
And even though we fight we still remain game tight 
Handle business and always open for forgiveness 
It ain't nothin' like a homey you ain't seen in awhile 
So when you meet him greet him with that ghetto smile
