Ghetto

Ghetto, Ghetto, Ghetto, Ghetto livin

These streets remind me of quicksand (quicksand)

When your on it you'll keep goin' down (goin' down)

And there's no one to hold on to

And there's no one to pull you out

You keep on fallin (falling)

And no one can here you callin

So you end up self destructing

On the corner with the tuli on the waist line just got outta the bing doin state time

Teeth marks on my back from the K-9

Dark Memories of when there was no sunshine

Cause they said that I wouldn't make it

(I remember like yesterday)

Holdin on to what god gave me

Cause thats 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 you're

Living in the (ghetto) and

Eating in the (ghetto) or

Sleeping in the (ghetto, ghetto, ghetto)

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

Best prepare to remove your past

Cause ya gotta be willin to pray

Yea There gotta be (there gotta be) a better way oh

Yea 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 niggas dead or locked away

Teenage Women growing up with aids

Cause thats the life when you're

Living in the (ghetto) oh

Eating in the (ghetto) or

Sleeping in the (ghetto, ghetto)

Thats the life when you're

Living in the (ghetto) oh

Eating in the (ghetto) or

Sleeping in the (ghetto, ghetto, ghetto)

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)

Thats the life when you're

Living in the (ghetto) oh

Living by the (ghetto) oh

Eating in the (ghetto, ghetto)

Thats the life when you're

Living in the (ghetto)oh

Sleeping in the (ghetto)

Living in the (ghetto, ghetto, ghetto)
