Ghetto, Ghetto, Ghetto, Ghetto we livin

These streets remind me of quicksand (quicksand)

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

And there's noone to hold on too

And there's noone to pull you out

You keep on fallin (falling)

And noone can here you callin

So you end up self destructing

On the corner with the tuli on the waist tight just got outta the bing doin stay 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)

Holdin on to what god gave me

[chorus]

Cause thats the life when ur

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)

No need to cherish luxuries (cause everythin' come and go)

Even the life that you have is borrowed

(Cause your not promised tomorrow)

So life 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 drama would stop today

A lot of niggers dead or locked away

Teenage Women growing up with aids

[chorus]

Cause thats the life when your

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]

Thats 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)
