  white man turns the corner, finds himself within a different world
  ghetto kid grabs his shoulder, throws him up against the wall
  he says "would you respect me if i didn't have this gun
  'cos without it, i don't get it, and that's why i carry one"

  ghetto, ghetto, ghetto, ghetto we livin
  
  these streets remind me of quicksand (quicksand)
  when your on it you'll keep goin down (goin down)
  and there's no one to hold on too
  and there's no one to pull you out
  you keep on fallin (falling)
  and no one can here you callin
  so you end up self destructing
  on the corner with the tuli on the waist tight just got outta the bing doin stay 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 luxuries (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 drama would stop today
  a lot of niggers dead or locked away
  teenage women growing up with aids
  
  cause thats the life when your
  living in the (ghetto) oh
  eating in the (ghetto) or
  sleeping in the (ghetto, ghetto)
  thats the life when ur
  living in the (ghetto)oh
  eating in the (ghetto) or
  sleeping in the (ghetto, ghetto, ghetto)
  
  gun shots every night in the (ghetto)
  crooked cops on sight in the (ghetto)
  every day is a fight in the (ghetto)
  (oh oh oh oh oh) (ghetto)
  got kids to feed in the (ghetto)

• fabolousin real talk albümünden en azindan breathe kadar basarili sarkisi. evet evet is var bu adamda..
  
  from hood to hood they see what's hood
  and know who i be! uh!
  
  i got the yankee leaning, just sittin over to browse
  and the g4 is just getting over the clouds
  you can't tell me that i ain't what's up right now
  i got a bottle of tequila upside down
  there's some chicks wit boyfriends that are up tight now
  cause they know the big 'dog' had a 'pups' like wow
  i'm stuck in my city ways
  heading over seas wit a zip of new york city's haze
  you rats can keep running through your city's maze
  until you get sprayed with the pesticide
  i know you in that hole, you best to hide
  like the rest who tried, who went and testified
  of course your girl wanna slide over and be rubbed
  and don't mind taking rides over the g dubs
  i ride rovers on spre-dubs
  please don't be another dude who died over a ski dub, chill
  
  from hood to hood they see what's hood and know who i be
  from block to block they see it, not can't know who i be
  from state to state they cannot hate, they know who i be
  from the east to west, through the midwest and downsouth it's ghetto!
  (it's ghetto-oh!) it's ghetto! (it's ghetto-oh!) it's ghetto!
  (it's ghetto-oh!) it's ghetto! (it's ghetto-ohh!) it's ghetto!
  
  i get it jumping like a lo lo '64
  and bet they hop on it like a pogo stick pro
  i'm chilling wit these go go chicks though
  that do the kind of things that belong in a porno flick yo
  you know it's him and the gang
  wit the bling worked on, that remind you of lemon meringue
  but remember the thangs, ain't too far
  and y'all wanna hear em go bang bang bang
  like john witherspoon, i'm watching em closely
  i know the snakes gon' slither soon
  the two toned maybach's getting delivered soon
  the back feels like sitting in the living room
  i'm so hard bodied like the suit on batman
  it's that man that back to back plat' scan
  i'm back for the third time, i make words rhyme for a living
  you probably heard i'm still ghetto, nigga!
  
  [chorus]
  
  they tried to put two 9's on me, just like gretzky
  but my lawyer saw through it just like wet tees
  i smoke till my eyes look just like jet li's
  on islands where the water's blue just like pepsi
  yeah the trigger just might get squeezed
  and the slugs will skip over your waves, just like jet skis
  hoes know ghetto from new york, call em the fresh prince
  and throw rose petals when i walk
  they love how i came back hard like good blow
  and i'm still a heart throb to a hood ho
  that's what hood though, yes i would know
  that's cause i'm in the streets like man hole covers
  rims look like blades when a fan blow brother
  i'm waiting on a storm to land, roast others
  the man no other, cause i been in it
  my time is money, y'all couldn't buy ten minutes
  i'm gone! catch up!
• her ne kadar hızlı, ritmik bir şarkı olsada içeriğindeki anlam bakımından hüzünlü, bir şarkıdır, akonun ghetto'su.
• akon'un en güzel şarkılarından biri.nedenini bilemediğim bir sebebten dolayı ağlatabiliyor bu şarkı insanı.nasıl gangsta s paradise ı dinlerken ağlayabiliyorsa bir insan,bu şarkıda da ağlar sanırım.(bkz: ben)
