My golden gates
Your diamond face
This twisted fate
Here in your cave
You feed me jack
You blow me jane
You give me faith
But I can't be saved

Cause this life this life
This life this life
Is my ghetto gold chain
'round my ghetto gold frame
This life this life this life this life
Is my ghetto gold green
And my ghetto gold dream

You can see me at the corner
I'll be sinnin with the christians
I'll be prayin with devil
I'll be called somebody's mistress
And while they busy with the talkin
With the fingers and the pointing
I'll be livin like I wanna
I'll be livin like I wanna
Ay ay ay ay
I'm livin my life I'm a ghetto gold queen
Ay ay ay ay
I'm livin my life in this ghetto gold dream

These rats they race
Smile in your face
Act like your mate
Then spit they hate
I'm so mesmerized
By their disguise
As they tell their lies
They drop like flies

Cause this life this life this life this life
Is my ghetto gold chain
'round my ghetto gold frame
This life this life this life this life
Is my ghetto gold green
And my ghetto gold dream

You can see me at the corner
I'll be sinnin with the christians
I'll be prayin with devil
I'll be called somebody's mistress
And while they busy with the talkin
With the fingers and the pointing
I'll be livin like I wanna
I'll be livin like I wanna
Ay ay ay ay
I'm livin my life I'm a ghetto gold queen
Ay ay ay ay
I'm livin my life in this ghetto gold dream

Wait till they see me, till they see me
Coming down the avenue in my red coupe
Ain't gon' be thinking about the past
But can they stay the same, say the same, no
I got my shades on
And I'm doing it doing what I, I wanna do
And yea they so mad
Wastin all of they time they coulda had that

You can see me at the corner
I'll be sinnin with the christians
I'll be prayin with devil
I'll be called somebody's mistress
And while they busy with the talkin
With the fingers and the pointing
I'll be livin like I wanna
I'll be livin like I wanna
Ay ay ay ay
I'm livin my life I'm a ghetto gold queen
Ay ay ay ay
I'm livin my life in this ghetto gold dream
