Lyrics

Ghetto, ghetto, ghetto, ghetto livin' These streets remind me of quicksand When you're on it, you 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 waistline Just got up out the bing doing 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 (Ghetto livin') That's the life when you're living in the (Ghetto) And eating in the (Ghetto) Or sleeping in the (Ghetto) Ghetto (Ghetto livin') No need to cherish luxuries 'Cause everything come and go Even the life that you have is borrowed But you're not promised tomorrow So live your life as if everyday'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, there gotta be a better way, oh Yes you gotta be willing to pray 'Cause there gotta be, there gotta be a better day, ay Whoever said that the 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 (Ghetto livin') That's the life when you're living in the (Ghetto) Or eating in the (Ghetto) Or sleeping in the (Ghetto) Ghetto (Ghetto) Gunshots every night in the (Ghetto) Crooked cops on sight in the (Ghetto) Everyday 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) Everyday somebody bleeding in the (Ghetto) oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Ghetto) That's the life when you're living in the (Ghetto) Or living by the (Ghetto) Or eating in the (Ghetto) ghetto (Ghetto livin') That's the life when you're living in the (Ghetto) Or sleeping in the (Ghetto) Or living in the (Ghetto) Ghetto (Ghetto livin')
