[00:22.46]Ghetto ghetto
[00:27.16]Ghetto ghetto livin'
[00:32.09]These streets remind me of quicksand quicksand
[00:35.68]When you're on it you'll keep goin' down goin' down
[00:40.57]And there's no one to hold on to
[00:43.21]And there's no one to pull you out
[00:45.71]You keep on fallin' fallin'
[00:47.71]No one can hear you callin'
[00:49.86]So you end up self-destructin'
[00:51.97]On the corner with the tuli on the waistline
[00:54.46]Just got up out the bing doin' state time
[00:56.96]Teeth marks on my back from the K-9
[00:59.39]Dark memories of when there was no sunshine
[01:02.64]'Cause they said that I wouldn't make it
[01:05.28]I remember like yesterday
[01:07.90]Holdin' on to what God gave me
[01:10.56]'Cause that's the life when you're livin' in the ghetto
[01:14.37]And eatin' in the ghetto
[01:16.93]Oh sleepin' in the ghetto
[01:18.79]Ghetto that's the life ghetto livin'
[01:22.62]In the ghetto
[01:24.48]And eatin' in the ghetto
[01:26.87]Oh sleepin' in the ghetto ghetto ghetto ghetto livin'
[01:33.59]No need to cherish luxuries
[01:36.18]'Cause everything come and go
[01:38.43]Even the life that you have is borrowed
[01:40.97]'Cause you're not promised tomorrow
[01:43.54]So live your life as is if
[01:45.57]Every day is gon' be your last be your last
[01:48.50]Once you've moved forward can't go back
[01:50.57]Just pretend to remove your past remove your past
[01:53.24]'Cause you gotta be willin' to pray
[01:55.09]Yes there gotta be there gotta be a better way oh
[01:58.35]Yes you gotta be willin' to pray
[02:00.34]'Cause there gotta be there gotta be a better day ay
[02:03.35]Better day
[02:04.18]Whoever said that this struggle would stop today
[02:06.89]A lot a n***as dead or locked away
[02:09.47]Teenage women growin' up with AIDS
[02:12.08]'Cause that's the life when you're livin' in the ghetto
[02:15.63]Oh eatin' in the ghetto
[02:18.15]Oh sleepin' in the ghetto

[02:25.84]Oh eatin' in the ghetto
[02:28.43]Oh sleepin' in the ghetto ghetto ghetto ghetto livin'
[02:34.00]Gun shots every night in the ghetto
[02:36.34]Crooked cops on sight in the ghetto
[02:38.86]Everyday is a fight in the ghetto
[02:41.40]Oh oh oh oh oh ghetto livin'
