She's gettin' ghetto up in here
She's gettin' ghetto up in here 
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

She be like, "One Mississippi, two Mississippi rock!" 
Backed up 
Like I said before, he's my man. 
What part of that conversation don't you understand? 
Whoa, whoa, whoa! 
(She's gonna get ghetto up in here) 

The gloves gonna come off, grease up my face, put you in your place 
Didn't want to scrap, poppin' on the cap when ya gotta fall back ?

[Chorus] 
Tryin' to be a lady but you keep pushin' me 
It's gonna get pretty. 
Leave me alone, go on by the way stop, throw another cell phone ? 

When you had him, you mistreated him 
Now I found him and I'm feedin' him 
And he's happy, there's no drama 
So you can save those hardy notes for the doctor 

'Cause I ain't givin' him up 
I'm lovin' him up 
Me and him every night, drinkin' from the same cup 
They say you don't know a good thing 'til it's gone 
And now I found him in my arms 

She be like, "one Mississippi two Mississippi rock!" 

Backed up ? 
Like I said before, he's my man. 
What part of that conversation don't you understand? 
Whoa, whoa, whoa
(She's gonna get ghetto up in here) 

The gloves commin' off, grease up my face, put you in your place 
Didn't want to scrap, poppin' on the cap when ya gotta fall back(?) 

[Chorus] 

Leave me alone, go on by the way stop, throw another cell phone. 

Took advantage of his kindess 
Didn't appreciate his sweetness 
Now I'm present, you're the past 
Ain't my fault what y'all had didn't last 

See, I wanna kill the confusion 
(Girl, there ain't no confusion) 
I want you to know it's me he's lovin' 
(You know it's you I'm lovin') 
I'm even thinking about having his children 

So, I think you should go find yourself a new boy 
? 

Have you ever been in a party, 
Droppin' your sexy and bottles 
Came flyin' in your direction? 
Turned around saw two kitty-cats fightin'? 
Tried to play the good Samaritan, 
Now your face is scratchin'. 
They're gettin' pretty, pretty, gettin' ? 
Someone call security bout to be an outbreak 
Stillettos comin' off ? 
When the cops break it down half the party's in my loff 

He gloves gonna come off, grease up my face, put you in your place 
Whoa, whoa, whoa

[Chorus]

Uh, uh, don't make me ghetto.
