Lyrics for Song: Ghetto
Lyrics for Album: Trouble [2004]
Ahhh, Ahh, Ahhh, Ahh
Ghetto, Ghetto, Ghetto, Ghetto livin'
[verse one]
These streets remind me of quicksand (quicksand)
When you're on it, you'll 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' (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 K-9
Dark Memories of when there was no sunshine
Cause they said that I wouldn't make it
I remember like yesterday (day)
Holdin' on to what God gave me
[Chorus]
Cause that's the life when your
Living in the (ghetto)
And eating in the (ghetto)
Or sleeping in the (ghetto) (ghetto, ghetto)
Cause that's the life when your
Living in the (ghetto)
And eating in the (ghetto)
Or sleeping in the (ghetto, ghetto livin')
[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 life your life as if everyday gon' be your last (be your last)
Once you move forward can't go back
Best prepare to remove your past
Cause ya gotta be willin to pray
Yea, There gotta be (there gotta be) a better way oh
Yea, Ya 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
[chorus]
Cause thats the life when your
Living in the (ghetto) oh
Eating in the (ghetto) or
Sleeping in the (ghetto, ghetto)
Thats the life when you're
Living in the (ghetto)oh
Eating in the (ghetto) or
Sleeping in the (ghetto, ghetto livin')
[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)
Selling coke and weed in the (ghetto)
Every day somebody bleed in the (ghetto)
(oh oh oh oh oh) (ghetto)
[chorus]
Thats the life when your
Living in the (ghetto)oh
Living by the (ghetto)oh
Eating in the (ghetto, ghetto)
Thats the life when your
Living in the (ghetto)oh
Sleeping in the (ghetto)
Living in the (ghetto, ghetto livin')
(wooohhoohh)
