Ghetto dreams

Ghetto ghetto dreams

Ghetto niggas' dreams

Ghetto ghetto dreams

Ghetto niggas' dreams

Ghetto dreams

Ghetto niggas' dreams

From the hood


[Verse 1: Common]

I want a bitch that look good and cook good

Cinderella fancy, but she still look hood

Butt naked in the kitchen flipping pancakes

Plus she trickin' off the dough that her man makes

We got our own handshake, her titties ain't fake

Fucking in the car cause we just can't wait

To get home, early in the morn' getting stoned

Pretty with her eyes low, money by her Bible

The type of bitch that BIG said he would die for

Is the type that I ride to stay alive for

Tats on her back, looking all tribal

She know shoes like she know survival

Well put together, she weathers the storm

Seen her brother die so forever she's strong

Hear Beyonce's song and she gotta perform

Whether fucking or fighting: we getting it on


[Hook: Nas]


[Verse 2: Common]

I don't even say shit, she can feel it

Eye talk's the realest, toenails acrylic

Ass is a weapon and it's hard to conceal it

Baby in one arm, the other is a skillet

Fried chicken, macaroni, raised on the back of Stony

Ghetto Prince, she's my Apollonia

Like chick that had the back of Tony, Montana

Reminded me a me of my, of my mama

Knowing the drama like she know when to joke

Steal a nigga's squares, not wanting me to smoke

I poke my head out of Benzes

My tweets is the streets that I know who my friends is

Endless love for the money, power and clothes

My ghetto housewife watch reality shows

She might get to snapping when the cabinets ain't closed

When the cameras start snapping, she's ready to pose


[Hook: Nas]


[Verse 3: Common]

At the movies, she ain't scared to pull my dick out

Big dreams to move things to a big house

Homie love to see her comin' outta Bloomi's

Face opposite of gloomy, ah, what it does to me

Sunday morning at church, she covered like a Sunni

Come back home singin' "shine your light" like Umi

Truly, truly, she glow, won't check a nigga phone

Even when I roam, I still know where home is

The type you want raising your kids

If I'm taking out the garbage, she's stay in your ears [?]

She knows sacrifice and Flashing Lights

Street and the fashion life, her you can ask advice

About anything, she might get a ring

Got a lot of siblings, money, she can get it cleaned

Reminding me of a broad that I took to Evergreen

Money plus a good chick, that's a hood dream
