Way Back Wednesday...Ghetto Heaven

I always though Sounds of Blackness sang this song,
but it actually it was a group called Family Stand...

The group Family Stand was made up of Peter Lord,
Jefferey Smith, and Sandra St. Victor. Their song, Ghetto Heaven was huge hit
back in 1990 and Common used the hook for his song of the same title in 2001.

I used to love this jam but I sure couldn't figure out what they
were talking about....Was it good loving, was is drugs, liquor? Yo No Se, but her are the lyrics...they didn't help me though.

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

(repeat to fade out)

So What's Your Ghetto Heaven?

And I know it was the 90's but that hair...please people, lets not bring this back.


Thanks for the song suggestion Suga Shack!
