Ghetto
A ghetto is a part of a city in which members of a minority group live, especially because of social, legal, or economic pressure. The term was originally used in Venice to describe the part of the city to which Jews were restricted and segregated.
Etymology
The English word ghetto comes from the Jewish area of Venice, the Venetian Ghetto in Cannaregio. However, there is no agreement among etymologists about the origins of the Venetian language term. The Oxford University Press etymologist Anatoly Liberman considers that all the proposed etymologies for the Venetian name are wrong, and suggests a possible connection with German Gasse, Swedish Gata, Gothic Gatwo, meaning street. Among the theories that Liberman rejects are the following: getto (foundry), as ge- and ghe- have very different pronunciations in Italy, and the area would logically have been called "getti", foundries, in the plural; borghetto, diminutive of borgo, meaning little town, a nonspecific term; and the Hebrew word get, a divorce document, with no connection to "a place of forced separation".
Testimony (August Alsina album)

Ghetto (Akon song)
"Ghetto" is the second single from American singer/songwriter Akon's debut studio album, Trouble. The single was released on December 21, 2004, exclusively in Latin America and certain countries of Europe. The single peaked at #92 on the Billboard Hot 100. Akon describes the song's lyrics as "a description of the cycle of poverty experienced by those living in poor, inner-city areas. Additionally, it describes the physical and psychological oppression with which these residents must deal on a regular basis." The video for the track was filmed in New Jersey, New Mexico and the Navajo Nation reservation in Arizona.

Ghetto
by: East 17Ghetto love thang, makes my heart swing
(Ghetto booty come on)
From the street, a ghetto booty
She is seen around the way
Little cutey, a body so fine
Got me feening
I love it
But I know that she is the one for me
I love her
Let's spend our lives in harmony
She's my lover and she's my friend
I want to be with her 'til the very end
'Cause my life was filled with emptiness
She brings me joy
Let me do the rest
