  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)
