Ghetto, Ghetto, Ghetto, Ghetto we livin
[Verse one]
These streets remind me of quicksand (quicksand)
When you're on it you'll keep going down (going down)
And there's no one to hold on too
And there's no one to pull you out
You keep on falling (falling)
And no one can here you calling
So you end up self destructing
On the corner with the tuli on the waist line just got outta the bing doing state time
Teeth marks on my back from the canine
Dark Memories of when there was no sunshine
Cause they said that I wouldn't make it
(I remember like yesterday)
Holding on to what god gave me
[Chorus]
Cause that's the life when you're
Living in the (ghetto)and
Eating in the (ghetto)or
Sleeping in the (ghetto) (ghetto)
Cause thats the life when ur
Living in the (ghetto)and
Eating in the (ghetto)or
Sleeping in the (ghetto, ghetto, ghetto)
(Ghetto living)
[Verse two]
No need to cherish luxuries (cause everythin' come and go)
Even the life that you have is borrowed
(Cause your not promised tomorrow)
So live your life as if everydays' gon be your last
Once you move forward can't go back
Just prepare to remove your past
Cause ya gotta be willin' to pray
Yes there gotta be (there gotta be) a better way oh
Yes ya gotta be willing to pray
Cause there gotta be (there gotta be) a better day (ay)
Whoever said that this struggle would stop today
A lot of niggers dead or locked away
Teenage women growing up with AIDS
[Chorus]
Cause that's the life when you're
Living in the (ghetto) oh
Eating in the (ghetto) or
Sleeping in the (ghetto, ghetto)
Thats the life when ur
Living in the (ghetto)oh
Eating in the (ghetto) or
Sleeping in the (ghetto, ghetto, ghetto)
[Bridge]
Gun shots every night in the (ghetto)
Crooked cops on sight in the (ghetto)
Every day is a fight in the (ghetto)
(oh oh oh oh oh) (ghetto)
Got kids to feed in the (ghetto)
Selling coke and weed in the (ghetto)
Every day somebody bleed in the (ghetto)
(oh oh oh oh oh) (ghetto)
[Chorus]
That's the life when your
Living in the (ghetto)oh
Living by the (ghetto)oh
Eating in the (ghetto, ghetto)
Thats the life when your
Living in the (ghetto)oh
Sleeping in the (ghetto)
Living in the (ghetto, ghetto, ghetto)
