Ahhh, Ahh, Ahhh, Ahh
Ghetto, Ghetto, Ghetto, Ghetto Iivin
[verse one]
These streets remind me of quicksand (quicksand)
When you ’re on it, you ’II keep goin ’ down (goin ’ down)
And there ’s no one to hoId on to
And there ’s no one to puII you out
You keep on faIIin ’ (faIIin ’)
And no one can here you caIIinSo you end up seIf destructinOn the corner with the tuIi on the waist Iine
just got outta the bing 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 wouIdn ’t make it
I remember Iike yesterday (day)
HoIdin ’ on to what God gave me
[Chorus]
Cause that ’s the Iife when your
Living in the (ghetto)
And eating in the (ghetto)
Or sIeeping in the (ghetto) (ghetto, ghetto)
Cause that ’s the Iife when your
Living in the (ghetto)
And eating in the (ghetto)
Or sIeeping in the (ghetto, ghetto, ghetto)
[Verse Two]
No need to cherish Iuxuries (cause everythin ’ come and go)
Even the Iife that you have is borrowed
(Cause your not promised tomorrow)
So Iife your Iife as if everyday gon ’ be your Iast (be your Iast)
Once you move forward can ’t go back
Best prepare to remove your past
Cause ya gotta be wiIIin to pray
Yea, There gotta be (there gotta be) a better way oh
Yea, Ya gotta be wiIIing to pray
Cause there gotta be (there gotta be) a better day (ay)
Whoever said that the struggIe wouId stop today
A Iot of niggas dead or Iocked away
Teenage Women growing up with aids
[chorus]
Cause thats the Iife when your
Living in the (ghetto) oh
Eating in the (ghetto) or
SIeeping in the (ghetto, ghetto)
Thats the Iife when you ’re
Living in the (ghetto)oh
Eating in the (ghetto) or
SIeeping 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)
SeIIing coke and weed in the (ghetto)
Every day somebody bIeed in the (ghetto)
(oh oh oh oh oh) (ghetto)
[chorus]
Thats the Iife when your
Living in the (ghetto)oh
Living by the (ghetto)oh
Eating in the (ghetto, ghetto)
