Ghetto by Akon

Ghetto, ghetto, ghetto, ghetto livin’

These streets remind me of quicksand
When you’re on it, you’ll keep goin down
And there’s no one to hold on to
And there’s no one to pull you out
You keep on 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 bin doing state time
Teeth marks on my back from the canine
Dark memories of when there was no sunshine
Cuz they said that I wouldn’t make it, I remember like yesterday
Holdin on to what God gave me

(Chorus)
Cuz that’s the life when you’re
Livin in the, ghetto
And eatin’ in the, ghetto
Oh sleepin in the, ghetto
Ghetto
That’s the life when you’re
Livin in the, ghetto
And eatin’ in the, ghetto
Oh Sleepin in the, ghetto
Ghetto ghetto livin

No need to cherish luxuries,
Cuz everything come and go
Even the life that you have is borrowed
Cuz you’re not promised tomorrow
So live your life as if everyday’s gon’ be your last
Once you move forward can’t go back
Best prepare to remove your past

Cuz you gotta be willin to pray
Yes there gotta be there gotta be a better way, Oh
Yes you gotta be willin’ to pray
Cuz there gotta be there gotta be a better day, yeah

Whoever said the struggle would stop today
A lot of niggas dead or locked away
Teenage women growing up with AIDS

(chorus)

Gun shots every night in a, ghetto
Crooked cops on sight in a, ghetto
Everyday is a fight in a, ghetto
(uh oh uh oh ohh, ghetto livin)
Got kids to feed in a, ghetto
Selling coke and weed in a, ghetto
Everyday somebody bleed in a, ghetto
(uh oh uh oh ohh, ghetto livin)

Cuz that’s the life when you’re
Livin in the, ghetto
Oh livin by the, ghetto
Oh eatin’ in the, ghetto
Yeah ohh
That’s the life when you’re livin in the, ghetto
Oh sleepin’ in the, ghetto
When you live in the ghetto
Ghetto, ghetto

Ghetto Livin’.
