Versuri Children of the Ghetto

Ghetto, ghetto, ghetto, ghetto we livin' 
 
These streets remind me of quicksand 
When your on it you'll keep goin' down 
And there's no one to hold on too 
And there's no one to pull you out you keep on fallin' 
And no one can here you callin' 
So you end up self destructing 
 
On the corner with the tuli on the waist line 
Just got outta the bing doin' 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 
Holdin' 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 everythin' come and go 
Even the life that you have is borrowed 
'Cause your not promised tomorrow 
So live your life as if everyday's goin' be your last 
Once you move forward can't go back 
Best prepare to remove your past 
 
'Cause ya gotta be willin' to pray 
Yes there gotta be there gotta be a better way 
Yes ya gotta be willing to pray 
'Cause there gotta be there gotta be a better day 
Whoever said that the struggle would stop today 
A lot of niggas dead or locked away 
Teenage women growin' up with AID's 
 
'Cause that's the life when your 
Living in the 
  (Ghetto) 
And eatin' in the 
  (Ghetto) 
Or sleepin' in the 
  (Ghetto, ghetto) 
That's the life when your 
Livin' in the 
  (Ghetto) 
And eatin' in the 
  (Ghetto) 
Or sleepin' in the 
  (Ghetto, ghetto, ghetto) 
 
Gun shots every night in the 
  (Ghetto) 
Crooked cops on sight in the 
  (Ghetto) 
Everyday is a fight in the 
  (Ghetto) 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh 
  (Ghetto) 
Got kids to feed in the 
  (Ghetto) 
Sellin' coke and weed in the 
  (Ghetto) 
Everyday somebody bleedin' in the 
  (Ghetto) 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh 
  (Ghetto) 
 
'Cuz that's the life when your 
Livin' in the 
  (Ghetto) 
We livin' by the 
  (Ghetto) 
And eatin' in the 
  (Ghetto, ghetto) 
'Cuz that's the life your 
Livin' in the 
  (Ghetto) 
And sleepin' by the 
  (Ghetto) 
Livin' in the 
  (Ghetto, ghetto, ghetto)
