Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I am the man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero that you're dreamin' of
We'll live forever, knowin' together
That we did all for this ghetto, ghetto love
[Verse 2]
I take back everything I said it don't mean nothing
Just a fight we had so many though
A ghetto love
I tell you that you gotta let me visit my son
But then you tell me no
A ghetto love
But, shawty, I can't take my eyes away
Event though we can't get along today
I made the promise to you that faithful day
So I say
[Verse 3]
I am the man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero that you're dreamin' of
We'll live forever, knowin' together
That we did all for this ghetto, ghetto love
[Verse 4]
I'm lookin' at this sexy girl from a distance
She's so damn style I'm a witness
Let me tell yah, whoa
Move that ting,' ya, whoa
Let me tell yah
And then I take her to the parking lot
Jump into my car and straight to my spot say, whoa
Then she started a fight as we stepped out the club
Only 'cause the fan trying to give me a little hug
So I say
[Verse 5]
I'll be the man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero that you're dreamin' of
We'll live forever, knowin' together
That we did all for this ghetto, ghetto love
[Verse 6]
Everybody say now
Ghetto, for the ghetto, for the ghet-ghetto love
Everybody say now
Ghetto, for the ghetto
For this ghetto love
[Verse 7]
I can't think straight when I'm on her ghetto love
With a ghetto girl, everyday's a fight now
We get to war
I gotta get away while the getting is good
And get top and gone, lemme think like I know I should
But a real woman needs a little bit more than wood
'Cause she expects that from me cause she know I would
Do anything, anywhere, every time for my shorty
Ever though we bicker I came right back to get her
Pull her close till her body says, hello
'Cause this the Kardinal and Mister Wolf, gal, lego
[Verse 8]
I am the man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero that you're dreamin' of
We'll live forever, knowin' together
That we did all for this ghetto, ghetto love
[Verse 9]
Everybody say now
Ghetto, for the ghetto, for the ghet-ghetto love
Everybody say now
Ghetto, for the ghetto, for the ghet-ghetto love
And I'll fight for you until the end of time
Everybody say now
Ghetto, for the ghetto
For this ghetto love
