VERSE 1
[Em]These streets remind me of [D]quicksand
When your [Em]on it you keep goin' [D]down - goin' down
And there's [Em]no one to hold on to
And there's [D]no one to pull you out
You keep on [Em]fallin'
And no one can here you [D]callin'
So you end up [Em]self-destructin'
On the corner with the tuli on the
waist line [D]just got outta the bing doin' state [Em]time
Teeth marks on my back from the [D]canine
Dark memories of when there was no [Em]sunshine
They said that I wouldn't [D]make it
I remember like [Em]yesterday (hey)
Holdin on to what God [D]gave me
CHORUS
'cause that's the life when you're
[Em]Living in the ghetto and

[Em]Sleeping in the [D]ghetto
VERSE 2
[Em]No need to cherish [D]luxuries
'cause everythin' come and [Em]go
Even the life that you have is [D]borrowed
'cause you're not promised [Em]tomorrow
So live your life as if [D]everyday's gonna be your last
[Em]Once you move forward can't go back
[D]Best prepare to remove your past
[Em]Cause you gotta be willin' to pray
Yeah there [D]gotta be there gotta be a better way [Em]-oh
Yeah you gotta be willin to pray
Yeah there [D]gotta be there gotta be a better way [Em]-hey
Whoever said that this struggle would [D]stop today
A lot of niggas dead or [Em]locked away
Teenage Women growing [D]up with AIDS

Crooked [D]cops on sight in the ghetto
Every [Em]day is a fight in the ghetto [D]oh oh oh oh oh
Got [Em]kids to feed in the ghetto
[D]Selling coke and weed in the ghetto
Every [Em]day somebody bleeds in the ghetto [D]oh oh oh oh oh
CHORUS
