..."ghetto heaven"
Alright y'all....I heard this oldddd song on the radio the other night, from the early 90's and it left a beat in my head that won't quit! Do any of you know the song "Ghetto Heaven" by Family Stand. ...and if you do, lemme hear you disect this one! lyrics pleez...it's deep!
"You know I love my baby
My baby loves me
My day, it gets so heavy
I need a little company
It's quarter to 11; it's time to make some ghetto heaven...
Ghetto heaven
I need a little ghetto heaven...
Nana likes brandy, especially peach
She keeps it by the radio
And listens to the Reverend preach
It's 10:07, and time to get some ghetto heaven...
Ghetto heaven
It's time to get some ghetto heaven
Ghetto heaven
She needs a little ghetto heaven...
Baby, baby, baby
All I need in this world is you
And when you're gone
Baby, baby, baby
Your touch, your kiss always gets me through
Sister needs her sugar
To get her through the day
She doesn't have the money
But always got a way to pay
It's 2:07; it's time to sell some ghetto heaven...
Ghetto heaven
It's time to sell some ghetto heaven
Ghetto heaven
She needs a little ghetto heaven...
You know I love my baby
My baby loves me
My day, it gets so heavy
I need a little company
It's quarter to 11; I need a little ghetto heaven...
Ghetto heaven
My baby needs some ghetto heaven
Ghetto heaven
I need a little ghetto heaven
Ghetto heaven"

Okay so you got me on this one. I can't really get it. I thought getting everyone need to find their "high" and that being in different ways but let me marinate on this one alittle more. I'm sure it aint that deep (smile)
At first glance, I thought this song was about finding pleasure in simple things...like the old people used to do...just sitting on the porch, and listening to the radio... Then I read it again, and realized they are talking about a relationship with drugs..."Sister needs her sugar
To get her through the day
She doesn't have the money
But always got a way to pay
It's 2:07; it's time to sell some ghetto heaven." It's very sordid...the whole song...very sad...Sounds like she is selling her body to pay for drugs.
