Akon Ghetto Lyrics
[00:22.22] Ghetto, ghetto
[00:27.83] Ghetto, ghetto livin'
[00:32.89] These streets remind me of quicksand
[00:36.35] When your on it you'll keep goin' down
[00:40.87] And there's no one to hold on to
[00:44.05] And there's no one to pull you out, you keep on fallin'
[00:48.59] And no one can here you callin'
[00:50.97] So you end up self-destructin'
[00:52.57] On the corner with the toolie on the waist line
[00:55.23] Just got outta the bing doin' state time
[00:57.61] Teeth marks on my back from the K-9
[01:00.00] Dark memories of when there was no sunshine
[01:02.92] 'Cause they said that I wouldn't make it, I remember like yesterday
[01:07.98] Holdin' on to what God gave me
[01:11.17] 'Cause that's the life when you're
[01:13.02] Livin' in the
[01:14.37] (Ghetto)
[01:15.42] And eatin' in the
[01:16.75] (Ghetto)
[01:17.82] Or sleepin' in the
[01:19.41] (Ghetto, ghetto)
[01:21.54] That's the life when you're
[01:23.14] Livin' in the
[01:24.21] (Ghetto)
[01:25.53] And eatin' in the
[01:26.87] (Ghetto)
[01:28.20] Or sleepin' in the
[01:29.54] (Ghetto, ghetto, ghetto livin')
[01:34.08] No need to cherish luxuries 'cause everythin' come and go
[01:39.16] Even the life that you have is borrowed
[01:43.15] 'Cause your not promised tomorrow
[01:45.54] So live your life as if everyday's goin' be your last
[01:49.27] Once you move forward can't go back
[01:51.93] Just prepare to remove your past
[01:54.31] 'Cause ya gotta be willin' to pray
[01:55.92] Yes, there gotta be, there gotta be a better way
[01:58.57] Yes, ya gotta be willin' to pray
[02:01.23] 'Cause there gotta be, there gotta be a better day
[02:03.63] Whoever said that the struggle would stop today
[02:07.35] A lot of niggas dead or locked away
[02:10.35] Teenage women growin' up with AIDS
[02:13.00] 'Cause that's the life when you're
[02:15.13] Living in the
[02:16.72] (Ghetto)
