Ghetto Lyrics

Ghetto, Ghetto, Ghetto, Ghetto livin
These streets remind me of quicksand
When your on it you 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'
And no one can here you callin'
So you end up self-destructin'
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 canine
Dark memories of when there was no sunshine
They said that I wouldn't make it
I remember like yesterday (hey)
Holdin 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
Cause thats the life when ur
Living in the ghetto and
Eating in the ghetto or
Sleeping in the ghetto
No need to cherish luxuries 'cause everythin' come and go
Even the life that you have is borrowed
'cause you're not promised tomorrow
So live your life as if everyday's gonna be your last
Once you move forward can't go back
Best prepare to remove your past
Cause you gotta be willin' to pray
Yeah there gotta be there gotta be a better way -oh
Yeah you gotta be willin to pray
Yeah there gotta be there gotta be a better way -hey
Whoever said that this struggle would stop today
A lot of niggas dead or locked away
Teenage Women growing up with AIDS
That's the life when you're
Living in the ghetto and
Eating in the ghetto or
Sleeping in the ghetto
Cause thats the life when ur
Living in the ghetto and
Eating in the ghetto or
Sleeping in the 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
Got kids to feed in the ghetto
Selling coke and weed in the ghetto
Every day somebody bleeds in the ghetto oh oh oh oh oh
That's the life when you're
Living in the ghetto and
Eating in the ghetto or
Sleeping in the ghetto
Cause thats the life when ur
Living in the ghetto and
Eating in the ghetto or
Sleeping in the ghetto
