Karaoké Ghetto Akon

Ghetto

Ghetto

Ghetto

Ghetto livin'

These streets remind me of quicksand

When you're on it you'll keep goin' down

And there's no one to hold on to

And there's no one to pull you out

You keep on fallin'

No one can hear you callin'

So you end up self-destructin'

On the corner with the toolie on the waist line

Just got up out the thing doin' state time

Teeth marks on my back from the K-Nine

Dark memories of when there was no sunshine

'Cos they said that I wouldn't make it

I remember like yesterday

Holdin' on to what God gave me

'Cos that's the life when you're livin' in the

Ghetto and eatin' in the

Ghetto

Oh sleepin' in the

Ghetto ghetto

Ghetto livin'

That's the life when you're livin' in the

Ghetto and eatin' in the

Ghetto

Oh sleepin' in the ghetto

Ghetto

Ghetto woah oh

Oh oh oh

Ghetto livin'

No need to cherish luxuries 'cos everything come and go

Even the life that you have is borrowed 'cos you're not promised tomorrow

So live your life as if everyday's gon' be your last

Once you've moved forward can't go back

Just prepare to remove your past

'Cos you gotta be willin' to pray

Yes there gotta be

There gotta be a better way

Oh

Yes you gotta be willin' to pray 'cos there gotta be

There gotta be a better day

Eh

Whoever said that the struggle would stop today

A lot of niggas dead or locked away

Teenage women growin' up with AIDS

'Cos that's the life when you're livin' in the

Ghetto

Oh eatin' in the

Ghetto

Oh sleepin' in the

Ghetto ghetto

Ghetto livin'

That's the life when you're livin' in the

Ghetto

Oh eatin' in the

Ghetto

Oh sleepin' in the

Ghetto ghetto

Ghetto livin'

Gun shots every night in the

Crooked cops on sight in the

Ghetto

Ghetto

Everyday is a fight in the

Oh oh oh oh oh

Ghetto

Ghetto livin'

Got kids to feed in the

Sellin' coke and weed in the

Ghetto

Ghetto

Everyday somebody bleed in the

Oh oh oh oh oh

Ghetto

That's the life when you're livin' in the

Ghetto livin'

Ghetto

Oh livin' by the

Ghetto

Oh eatin' in the

Ghetto ghetto

Ghetto livin'

That's the life when you're livin' in the

Ghetto

Oh sleepin' in the

Ghetto

Oh livin' in the

Ghetto ghetto, ghetto

Ghetto livin'
