These streets remind me of quicksand When your on it you´ll keep goin´ down And there´s no one to hold on too
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 destructing
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 K9 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
´Cause that´s the life when your Living in the (Ghetto) And eating in the (Ghetto)
Or sleeping in the (Ghetto, ghetto) That´s the life when your 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 live your life as if everyday´s goin´ be your last Once you move forward can´t go back Best prepare to remove your past
´Cause ya gotta be willin´ to pray Yes there gotta be there gotta be a better way Yes ya gotta be willing to pray ´Cause there gotta be there gotta be a better day Whoever said that the struggle would stop today A lot of niggas dead or locked away Teenage women growin´ up with AID´s
´Cause that´s the life when your Living in the (Ghetto) And eatin´ in the (Ghetto) Or sleepin´ in the (Ghetto, ghetto) That´s the life when your Livin´ in the
(Ghetto) And eatin´ in the (Ghetto) Or sleepin´ in the (Ghetto, ghetto, ghetto)
Gun shots 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) Sellin´ coke and weed in the (Ghetto)
Everyday somebody bleedin´ in the (Ghetto) Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Ghetto)
´Cause that´s the life when your Livin´ in the (Ghetto) We livin´ by the (Ghetto) And eatin´ in the (Ghetto, ghetto) ´Cause that´s the life your Livin´ in the (Ghetto) And sleepin´ by the (Ghetto) Livin´ in the
