Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
This goes out to my tatta's in the ghetto
My Turkoes in the ghetto
My Mocro's in the ghetto (Ghetto)
'Cause this goes out to the Anti's in the ghetto
Maluku's in the ghetto
The Joego's in the ghetto (Ghetto)
Ghetto living
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')
No one can hear you callin'
So you end up self-destructing
On the corner with the tuli on the waistline
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
This goes out to my tatta's in the ghetto
My Turkoes in the ghetto
My Mocro's in the ghetto (Ghetto)
'Cause this goes out to the Anti's in the ghetto
Maluku's in the ghetto
The Joego's in the ghetto (Ghetto)
Ghetto living
Yo, snap het niet, je verdriet is diep van binnen
Je wil wel opnieuw beginnen (Oh, oh)
Maar je wordt geconfronteerd
En je ziet van die dingen, je broertje gearresteerd
Je vader zakt zachtjes neer, je moeder die kan niet meer
Het doet je zeer, je dropt een traan en kijkt uit het raam
Het is alsof je wijk getroffen is door een orkaan (Oh-oh)
Overal liggen vuilniszakken, er lopen ratten (Yeah)
Junkies die elkaar om een bolletje willen klappen (Ghetto)
Politie rijdt voorbij en ziet iedereen als verdachte
In een keiharde wereld is er geen ruimte voor een zwarte
Survival of the fittest, hoeveel heb je in petto?
Is de eeuwenoude vraag als je leeft in de ghetto
Whoever said that this struggle would stop today
A lot of niggas dead or locked away
Teenage women growing up with aids
'Cause that's the life when you're living in the ghetto
Or eatin' in the ghetto
Or sleepin' in the ghetto (Ghetto)
That's the life when you're living in the ghetto
Or eatin' in the ghetto
Or sleepin' in the ghetto (Ghetto)
Ghetto living
