AKON

“Ghetto”

Ghetto, Ghetto, Ghetto, Ghetto we living

These streets remind me of quicksand (quicksand)
When your on it you'll keep going down (going down)
And there's no one to hold on too
And there's no one to pull you out
You keep on falling (falling)
No one can hear you calling
So you end up self destructing
On the corner with the tulle on the waist line just got outta the being doing state time Teeth marks on my back from the k9
Dark Memories of when there was no sunshine
Cause they said that I wouldn't make it
(I remember like yesterday)
Holding on to what god gave me

Cause that’s the life when your
Living in the (ghetto)
And eating in the (ghetto)
Or sleeping in the (ghetto, ghetto)
That’s the life when your
Living in the (ghetto)
And eating in the (ghetto)
Or sleeping in the (ghetto, ghetto, ghetto)

No need to cherish luxuries (cause everything come and go)
Even the life that you have is borrowed
(Cause your not promised tomorrow)
So live your life as if everyday gone be your last (be your last)
Once you move forward can't go back
Best prepare to remove your past (remove your past)

Cause ya gotta be willing 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
A lot of niggaz dead or locked away
Teenage Women growing up with aids

Cause that’s the life when your
Living in the (ghetto)
Oh eating in the (ghetto)
Or sleeping in the (ghetto, ghetto)
That’s the life when your
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)
Selling coke and weed in the (ghetto)
Every day somebody bleeding in the (ghetto)
(oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) (ghetto)

That’s the life when your
Living in the (ghetto)
Oh living by the (ghetto)
Or eating in the (ghetto, ghetto)
That’s the life your
Living in the (ghetto)
Oh sleeping in the (ghetto)
Living in the (ghetto, ghetto, ghetto)

(Woooh, Hoohh)
