Intro:



Verse 1:

                          
She's a Miss beautiful sup-reme,
                   
A girl that others wish that they could be.
            
If there's seven wonders of the world,
                                
Then I know she's gotta be number one.

Chorus 1:

                           
She's a girl that can't be beat,
                             
Born and raised on ghetto streets.
                   
She's a devastating beauty,
                           
A pretty girl with ebony eyes.

Verse 2:

                                
 She's the sunflower of nature's seeds,
                     
A girl that some men only find in their dreams.
         
When she smiles, it seems the stars all know,
                                         
'Cos one by one they start to light up the sky.

Chorus 2:

                           
She's a girl that can't be beat,
                             
Born and raised on ghetto streets.
                   
She's a devastating beauty,
                            
A pretty girl with ebony eyes.

Chorus 3:

                           
She's a girl that can't be beat,
                             
Born and raised on ghetto streets.
                   
She's a devastating beauty,
                           
A pretty girl with ebony eyes.

Verse 3:

                                
When she starts talking soft and sweet,
                          
Like birds of spring, her words all seem to sing.
       
With a rhythm that is made of love,
                              
And the happiness that she only brings.

Chorus 4:

                           
She's a girl that can't be beat,
                             
Born and raised on ghetto streets.
                   
She's a devastating beauty,
                           
A pretty girl with ebony eyes.

Born and raised on ghetto streets.
                   
She's a devastating beauty,
                 
A pretty girl with ebony...
