Little Ghetto Boy |
| My grandmother suits was tailor made, Sundays Mahalia played |
| Simple familiar ways, like how she kneeled and prayed |
| Willin, master forgive us, our trust pastors had us real afraid |
| I never listened yet I still obeyed |
| I got to see how Philly played at such an early age |
| What my father was into sent him to his early grave |
| Then moms started chasin that base, like Willie Mays |
| My childhood was all of 40 nights and 40 days |
| Trouble was my ball and chain, shorties would call me names |
| Humble beginnings but a star is what it all became |
| My journey from a dirty hallway, to the Hall of Fame |
| Music my therapeutic way to cope with all this pain |
| Was headed for the drain, soakin before the rainwater came |
| And chaos, into the order came |
| I started doin what I’m 'sposed to do in life |
| Tryin to move out of the dark, and closer to the light |
| They say if you get a chance to do it, overdo it right |
| Tomorrow isn’t promised every time, you say goodnight |
| Knahmtalkinabout? |
| Uhh, yo |
| Story of a little ghetto boy, check it out |
| Yeah yeahhh |

| Playin in the ghetto street, ay-ayyyy! |
| What’chu gonna do when you grow up |
| and have to face responsibility? |

| Will you spend your days and nights in a pool room? |
| Will you sell caps of madness, to the neighborhood |
