GHETTO, GHETTO, GHETTO, GHETTO LIVIN

THESE STREETS REMIND ME OF QUICKSAND

WHEN YOUR ON IT YOU'LL KEEP GOIN DOWN

AND THERE'S NOONE TO HOLD ON TOO

AND THERE'S NOONE TO PULL YOU OUT

YOU KEEP ON FALLIN

AND NOONE 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 CANINE

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 THATS THE LIFE WHEN UR

LIVING IN THE GHETTO AND

EATING IN THE GHETTO OR

SLEEPING 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

NO NEED TO CHERISH LU URIES

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 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 THIS

STRUGGLE WOULD STOP TODAY
