[Chorus: Rick James & Mary Jane Girls]
Growin', growin' up in the ghetto
Hanging out on corners, singin' with the fellas
Lookin' for the cute chicks, trying to find the big fun
Looking for some trouble or anyone who'll give me some
I was young and crazy (In the ghetto)
Didn't know what my life would be (In the ghetto)
I was dumb and, oh, so lazy (In the ghetto)
Something had a spell on me (In the ghetto)
You want to know what I'm talkin' 'bout?

[Verse 1: G Perico]
Suede sectional, counting up cash
Jumped off the porch, in the streets, now I'm livin' fast
From halls to the pen back to the block
From the mall, get fresh, then I'm to the lot (Vroom)
Yeah, look what I got
Turning donuts in thе street, this bitch hot (Skrrt)
Sixteen years in and out the system
You ain't gotta ask, boy, you know I got my pistol (Boom, boom, boom)
It's Steelz in that Pittsburgh uniform, know wе on go
I don't give a fuck who we on, yeah
Rolls-Royces straight to the mansion
Even if it's only temporary, we still had it
After all this gangbanging, I'm still at it
Gucci plates and forks, eating a green salad
Yeah, give me more Italian
Magnum extra large, I'm a stallion (Uh)
Yeah, calling shots from Tha Clicc House (Clicc, Clicc, Clicc, Clicc)
Quick to eat a bad bitch out
Quick to eat a Perc ten and trip out
Meanwhile, Blue T drops getting shipped out
I'm a mastermind, peep the logo
Once we fall out, we ain't linking up no mo'
Two .40 millimeters, one on my wrist, one on my hip
One freeze time when it go "click-click"
Spend fifty thou' on dial with no tick-tick
I'm blowing 'em out with a smile (It's the Clicc)
[Chorus: Rick James & Mary Jane Girls]
Growin', growin' up in the ghetto
Hanging out on corners, singin' with the fellas
Lookin' for the cute chicks, trying to find the big fun
Looking for some trouble or anyone who'll give me some
I was young and crazy (In the ghetto)
Didn't know what my life would be (In the ghetto)
I was dumb and, oh, so lazy (In the ghetto)
Something had a spell on me (In the ghetto)
You want to know what I'm talkin' 'bout?

[Verse 2: Tiny Doo]
Innerprize going live from Tha Clicc House (Hell yeah)
Going big in front of this bitch I want to dig out (Uh)
Tell Steelz throw the keys to the Benz truck, I got my ends up
I'm tryin’ to go pick her friends up
But tell her hurry up, don’t leave us waiting 'cause it’s cold outside
There go the boys with the cameras, strike a pose outside
'Cause we known for having poles outside, Ghost Rolls outside
Rose Rollie, boy, I know y’all tired
Been a n***a wanted kicks that match the peacoat
And flew her in from out of town, I’m in love with the deep-throat
And this turf is the same as the Broadways
Either La Paz or 52nd, you can get in broad day
Finna strike my name in the hallway in green paint
If that don’t tell you where you is, then the streets can't
Doing donuts in the middle of the ghetto
Giving fingers to the devil and playing with heavy metal, motherfucker
[Chorus: Rick James & Mary Jane Girls]
Growin', growin' up in the ghetto
Hanging out on corners, singin' with the fellas
Lookin' for the cute chicks, trying to find the big fun
Looking for some trouble or anyone who'll give me some
I was young and crazy (In the ghetto)
Didn't know what my life would be (In the ghetto)
I was dumb and, oh, so lazy (In the ghetto)
Something had a spell on me (In the ghetto)
You want to know what I'm talkin' 'bout?

[Post-Chorus: Rick James, Mary Jane Girls & G Perico]
Talking 'bout ghetto life
Ghetto life
You wanna know what I'm singing 'bout?
Talking 'bout ghetto life
Ghetto life
When I was a young man (We at Tha Clicc House)
