[Intro]
GAmhetto, Cghetto
GGhetto, Fghetto livin'
[Verse 1]
AmThese streets remind me of Cquicksand
When you're onG it, you'll keep goin' Fdown
And there's nAmo one to hold on to
And there's nCo one to pull you out
You keep on fGallin', no one can hear you cFallin'
So you end up self-destrucAmtin'
On the corner with the toolie on the waist linCe
Just got up out the bin doin' state timeG
Teeth marks on my back from the K-9 F
Dark memories of when there was no sunshine Am
Cause they said that I wouldn't make iCt
I remember like yesterday G
Holdin' on to what God gave me F
[Hook]
Cause that's the life
When you're liAmvin' in the [ghetto]
And eatCin' in the [ghetto]
Oh, sleeGpin' in the [ghetto]
GheFtto, that's the life
When you're lAmivin' in the [ghetto]
And eatCin' in the [ghetto]
Oh, sleGepin' in the [ghetto, ghetto]F
[Verse 2]
AmNo need to cherish luxuries
CCause everything come and go
GEven the life that you have is borrowed
FCause you're not promised tomorrow
AmSo live your life as ifC every day is gon' be your last
GOnce you've moved forward
FYou can't go back just to remove your past
AmCause you gotta be willin' to pray
Yes, there gotCta be, there gotta be a better way
GYes, you gotta be willin' to pray
Cause there gFotta be, there gotta be a better day
AmWhoever said that the struggle would sCtop today?
A lot a niggas dead or lockGed away
Teenage women growin' uFp with AIDS
[Hook]
Cause that's the life
When you're liAmvin' in the [ghetto]
And eatCin' in the [ghetto]
Oh, sleeGpin' in the [ghetto]
GheFtto, that's the life
When you're lAmivin' in the [ghetto]
And eatCin' in the [ghetto]
Oh, sleGepin' in the [ghetto, ghetto]F

Crooked coCps on sight in the [ghetto]
Everyday iGs a fight in the [ghetto]
FOh oh oh oh oh [ghetto livin']
