[intro]
Em D Em DEm D Em D
Em ghettoD, ghetto
Em ghettoD, ghetto Emlivin'
[verse (1)]
these streets remind me of Dquicksand
when you'Emre on it, you'll keep goin' Ddown
and there's Emno one to hold on to
and there's Dno one to pull you out
you keep on Emfallin', no one can hear you Dcallin'
so you end up self-destrucEmtin'
on the corner with the toolie on the waist lineD
just got up out the thing doin' state timeEm
teeth marks on my back from the k-9D
dark memories of when there was no sunshineEm
‘cause they said that i wouldn't Dmake it
i remember like yesterdayEm
holdin' on to what god Dgave me
[hook]
‘cause that's the life when you're Emlivin' in the (ghetto)
and Deatin' in the (ghetto)
oh, Emsleepin' in the (ghetto)
Dghetto, that's the life
when you're Emlivin' in the (ghetto)
and Deatin' in the (ghetto)
oh, Emsleepin' in the (ghettoD, ghetto)
[verse (2)]
Em no need to cherish Dluxuries
‘cause everything come and Emgo
even the life that you have is Dborrowed
‘cause you're not promised tomorEmrow
so live your life as Dif every day is gon' be your last
Em once you've moved forward
you can't go Dback just to remove your past
Em ‘cause you gotta be willin' to pray
yes, there Dgotta be, there gotta be a better way
Em yes, you gotta be willin' to pray
‘cause there Dgotta be, there gotta be a better day
Em whoever said that the struggle would sDtop today?
a lot a niggas dead or Emlocked away
teenage women growin' up withD AIDS
[hook]
‘cause that's the life when you're Emlivin' in the (ghetto)
and Deatin' in the (ghetto)
oh, Emsleepin' in the (ghetto)
Dghetto, that's the life
when you're Emlivin' in the (ghetto)
and Deatin' in the (ghetto)
oh, Emsleepin' in the (ghettoD, ghetto)
[bridge]
gun Emshots every night in the (ghetto)
crooked Dcops on sight in the (ghetto)
everyEmday is a fight in the (ghetto)
oh Doh oh oh oh (ghetto livin')
got Emkids to feed in the (ghetto)
sellin' Dcoke and weed in the (ghetto)
everyEmday somebody bleed in the (ghetto)
oh Doh oh oh oh (ghetto livin')
[hook]
‘cause that's the life when you're Emlivin' in the (ghetto)
and Deatin' in the (ghetto)
