And no one can here you callin'
Just got outta the bing doin' state time
'Cause they said that I wouldn't make it I remember like yesterday
(Ghetto, ghetto)
Teeth marks on my back from the K9
(Ghetto, ghetto)
(Ghetto, ghetto, ghetto)
That's the life when your
Everyday is a fight in the
On the corner with the tuli on the waist line
And eatin' in the
Yes there gotta be there gotta be a better way
Dark memories of when there was no sunshine
(Ghetto)
Crooked cops on sight in the
(Ghetto)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(Ghetto)
'Cuz that's the life your
And sleepin' by the
(Ghetto)
So live your life as if everyday's goin' be your last
(Ghetto)
(Ghetto)
Even the life that you have is borrowed
(Ghetto)
(Ghetto)
'Cause your not promised tomorrow
A lot of niggas dead or locked away
So you end up self destructing
Once you move forward can't go back
Sellin' coke and weed in the
(Ghetto, ghetto)
Or sleeping in the
'Cause that's the life when your
(Ghetto)
(Ghetto)
(Ghetto, ghetto, ghetto)
And there's no one to pull you out you keep on fallin'
(Ghetto)
(Ghetto)
We livin' by the
Best prepare to remove your past
Living in the
(Ghetto)
(Ghetto)
(Ghetto)
Livin' in the
Gun shots every night in the
And there's no one to hold on too
These streets remind me of quicksand
Living in the
Or sleeping in the
Whoever said that the struggle would stop today
Got kids to feed in the
When your on it you'll keep goin' down
'Cause there gotta be there gotta be a better day
(Ghetto)
(Ghetto)
No need to cherish luxuries 'cause everythin' come and go
'Cause that's the life when your
Livin' in the
Holdin' on to what God gave me
And eating in the
Yes ya gotta be willing to pray
Or sleepin' in the
Livin' in the
Everyday somebody bleedin' in the
And eatin' in the
(Ghetto)
(Ghetto)
'Cause ya gotta be willin' to pray
That's the life when your
'Cuz that's the life when your
And eatin' in the
Livin' in the
Living in the
And eating in the
(Ghetto)
Teenage women growin' up with AID's
Or sleepin' in the
