Ghetto, Ghetto, Ghetto, Ghetto livin
[Verse one]
These streets remind me of quicksand (quicksand) When your on it you'll keep goin down (goin down) And there's noone to hold on tooAnd there's noone to pull you out You keep on fallin (falling)And noone can here you callinSo you end up self destructingOn 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 sunshineCause they said that I wouldn't make it (I remember like yesterday)Holdin on to what god gave me
[Chorus]
Cause thats the life when ur Living in the (ghetto)and Eating in the (ghetto)orSleeping in the (ghetto) (ghetto)Cause thats the life when ur Living in the (ghetto)and Eating in the (ghetto)or Sleeping in the (ghetto, ghetto, ghetto)
[Verse two]
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 everydays' gon be your lastOnce you move forward can't go backBest prepare to remove your past
Cause ya gotta be willin to pray Yea There gotta be (there gotta be) a better way ohYea ya gotta be willing to pray Cause there gotta be (there gotta be) a better day (ay)
