ghetto

Lyrics

ghetto, ghetto, ghetto, ghetto-living, these streets remind me of quicksand, when you're on it you'll keep going down, and there's no one to hold on to, and there's no one to pull you out, you keep on falling, and no one can hear you calling, so you end up self-destructing, on the corner with the toolie on the waist line, just got up out the thing 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, holding on to what god gave me, 'cause that's the life, when you're living in the ghetto, and eating in the ghetto, or sleeping in the ghetto, ghetto, 'cause that's 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 everything come and go, even the life that you have is borrowed, 'cause you're not promised tomorrow, so live your life as if every day's gon' be your last, once you move forward can't go back, best prepare to remove your past, 'cause you gotta be willing to pray, yes there gotta be, yeah, gotta be a better way, yes you gotta be willing to pray, 'cause there gotta be, yeah, gotta be a better day, whoever said that this struggle would stop today, a lot of niggas dead or locked away, teenage women growing up with aids, 'cause that's the life, when you're living in the ghetto, or eating in the ghetto, or sleeping in the ghetto, ghetto, that's the life, when you're living in the ghetto, or 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, ghetto, got kids to feed, in the ghetto, selling coke and weed, in the ghetto, every day somebody bleed, in the ghetto, ghetto, that's the life, when you're living in the ghetto, or living by the ghetto, or eating in the ghetto, ghetto, that's the life, when you're living in the ghetto, or sleeping in the ghetto, living in the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto
