P. Diddy (Puff Daddy) - Child Of The Ghetto lyrics

Show me a house with a yard full o' rusty cars

and you know there'll be a coffee perkin' on a rusty stove

and you walk right in, sit down and feel right at home

in the kitchen of the house of the man with a yard full o' rusty cars

Show me a man with a yard full o' rusty cars

and you know he's got a fridge full o' beer and it's nice and cold.

Swing on the porch, eat balony and bread and talk about gettin' old.

Spittin' in the dust with the man with a yard full o' rusty cars.

Scratchin' the ears of the dog of the man with a yard full o' rusty cars.

Tell him I been to Haite an' he says “well ‘at's real niceâ€Â.

“Hay, Ma, this beer could sure use a little bit o' iceâ€Â

“Now what was you sayin' about goin' to Hades?â€Â says the man with a yard full o' rusty cars.

“Ma' teeth gone badâ€Â says the man with a yard full o' rusty cars.

“Toylet's on the blink and heavyweights today can't hit.â€Â

“You know you remind me a lot o' my brother's youngest kid.â€Â

“Got killed in Korea. You play gin rummy?â€Â says the man with a yard full o' rusty cars.

Kick off your shoes on the couch of the man with a yard full o' rusty cars.

Smoke your smokes and flick the ashes on the floor.

“Hell son, everythin' here's been burned or broke at least once beforeâ€Â.

And he winks at his old lady and she winks back at the man with a yard full o' rusty cars.

“Lord!â€Â says the man with the rusty cars “that woman's gettin' wide!â€Â

“So much for beauty son! Hand me that TV guide.â€Â

Watching the flies in the kitchen of the man with a yard full o' rusty cars.

Hole in the screen door where the dogs crawl in and out.

“Careful with that soup son. It'll burn a hole in your mouth!â€Â

“Soup an' life, you gotta wait ‘em out.â€Â says the man with a yard full o' rusty cars.

Watch TV in the parlour of the man with a yard full o' rusty cars.

“Son, you ever get to sleep with any o' them movie stars?â€Â

“I'd like to do that once before I dieâ€Â but he's talking a little too loud,

and his woman's smilin' kinda proud of the man with a yard full o' rusty cars.

Talking God and baseball with the man with a yard full o' rusty cars.

Fall asleep right on the couch there where ya' sit

an' you know that his old woman ain't gonna mind a bit,

leastwise she don't mention nothin' to that smilin', smokin', dirty jokin', lucky old man with a yard full o' rusty cars.
