INTRO
Gm F
GmGhettFo, GhetGmto, GhettFo, GhetGmto liviFn
VERSE 1
GmThese streets remind me of qFuicksand
When your oGmn it you keep goin' dFown - goin' down
And there's Gmno one to hold on to
And there's Fno one to pull you out
You keep on fGmallin'
And no one can here you cFallin'
So you end up self-destruGmctin'
On the corner with the tuli on the waist line Fjust got outta the bing doin' state tGmime
Teeth marks on my back from the caniFne
Dark memories of when there was no sunsGmhine
They said that I wouldn't Fmake it
I remember like yesterGmday (hey)
Holdin on to what God Fgave me
CHORUS
'cause that's the life when you're
GmLiving in the ghetto and
FEating in the ghetto or
GmSleeping in the ghettFo
Cause thats the life when ur
GmLiving in the ghetto and
FEating in the ghetto or
GmSleeping in the gheFtto
VERSE 2
GmNo need to cherish lFuxuries 'cause everythin' come and Gmgo
Even the life that you have is Fborrowed
'cause you're not promised tomoGmrrow
So live your life as if eFveryday's gonna be your last
GmOnce you move forward can't go back
FBest prepare to remove your past
GmCause you gotta be willin' to pray
Yeah there gFotta be there gotta be a better way -oGmh
Yeah you gotta be willin to pray
Yeah there Fgotta be there gotta be a better way -heGmy
Whoever said that this struggle would sFtop today
A lot of niggas dead or Gmlocked away
Teenage Women growing Fup with AIDS
CHORUS
That's the life when you're
GmLiving in the ghetto and
FEating in the ghetto or
GmSleeping in the ghettFo
Cause thats the life when ur
GmLiving in the ghetto and
FEating in the ghetto or
GmSleeping in the gheFtto
BRIDGE
Gun sGmhots every night in the ghetto
Crooked cFops on sight in the ghetto
Every dGmay is a fight in the ghetto oh Foh oh oh oh
Got Gmkids to feed in the ghetto
Selling Fcoke and weed in the ghetto
Every Gmday somebody bleeds in the ghetto oh Foh oh oh oh
CHORUS
That's the life when you're
GmLiving in the ghetto and
FEating in the ghetto or
GmSleeping in the ghettFo
Cause thats the life when ur
GmLiving in the ghetto and
FEating in the ghetto or
GmSleeping in the gheFtto
