In Da Ghetto

Everything that I wanted to do

Seems like it was hard to do

But my daddy told me son just believe

and the things will come to you

and if it's in God's plan

it's gonna happen anyway

all you got to do

is be patient and receit it one day

Never thought my life would be no good

my dady left me so alone I stood

your baby boy is coming up in the hood

and that's the way it goes in the ghetto

(2x)

So now I done came on up

to a bigger step in my life

yeah baby boy got a boy of his own

and some day might have a wife

cuz the ghetto's been good to me

and Lord knows it was hard

I stood still until my chance came

and kept my faith in God

I never thought i'd make it

to a major point in my life

cuz every time I turn around

I see that devil in my sight

just me and my brother gotta take care of mama

and that's the way it goes in the ghetto

Never thought my life would be no good

my dady left me so alone I stood

your baby boy is coming up in the hood

and that's the way it goes in the ghetto

(2x)
