Remix

International remix

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Chorus: Akon - English]

This goes out to my tatta's in the ghetto

My Turkoes in the ghetto

My Mocro's in the ghetto (Ghetto)

'Cause this goes out to the Anti's in the ghetto

Maluku's in the ghetto

The Joego's in the ghetto (Ghetto)

Ghetto living

[Verse 1: Akon - English]

These streets remind me of quicksand (Quicksand)

When you're on it you'll keep goin' down (Goin' down)

And there's no one to hold on to

And there's no one to pull you out

You keep on fallin' (Fallin')

No one can hear you callin'

So you еnd up self-destructing

On the cornеr with the tuli on the waistline

Just got outta the bing doin' state time

Teeth marks on my back from the K9

Dark memories of when there was no sunshine

'Cause they said that I wouldn't make it (I remember like yesterday)

Holdin' on to what God gave me

[Chorus: Akon - English]

This goes out to my tatta's in the ghetto

My Turkoes in the ghetto

My Mocro's in the ghetto (Ghetto)

'Cause this goes out to the Anti's in the ghetto

Maluku's in the ghetto

The Joego's in the ghetto (Ghetto)

Ghetto living

[Verse 2: Yes-R - Dutch]

Yo, snap het niet, je verdriet is diep van binnen

Je wil wel opnieuw beginnen (Oh, oh)

Maar je wordt geconfronteerd (Look out for the scotoe)

En je ziet van die dingen, je broertje gearresteerd (And dont get locked up)

Je vader zakt zachtjes neer, je moeder die kan niet meer

Het doet je zeer, je dropt een traan en kijkt uit het raam

Het is alsof je wijk getroffen is door een orkaan (Oh-oh)

Overal liggen vuilniszakken, er lopen ratten (Yeah)

Junkies die elkaar om een bolletje willen klappen (Ghetto)

Politie rijdt voorbij en ziet iedereen als verdachte

In een keiharde wereld is er geen ruimte voor een zwarte (It's so hard)

Survival of the fittest, hoeveel heb je in petto? (No time for fatoes)

Is de eeuwenoude vraag als je leeft in de ghetto ('Cause we're sole survivors)

[Bridge: Akon - English]

Whoever said that this struggle would stop today

A lot of niggas dead or locked away

Teenage women growing up with aids

[Chorus: Akon - English]

'Cause that's the life when you're living in the ghetto

Or eatin' in the ghetto

Or sleepin' in the ghetto (Ghetto)

That's the life when you're living in the ghetto

Or eatin' in the ghetto

Or sleepin' in the ghetto (Ghetto)

Ghetto living

[Verse 3: Ali-B - Arabic "Moroccan accent"]

مشاكل كتير تبعوك، ما عندك لى منها غير تمشى

ببن الحبس فى الباريو، و ما كاين حد إللى غاديه

يعاونك يقلك يهدى بالك، من الوقت تعدى شى فضيحة

تقدر توقعلك فى دقيقة، حتى ما واحد فيه الثقة، و عطالك تسمع موسيقى

واحد أوتومبيل جديدة، شراجيم محلولين شى درارى فيهم الغيرة

تعوق تبروق ضربوها الدولة الدينارو، رجعت تحكى بإرياحه و تسمع صوت البمبارو

حرقولك سيارة صبو عليها جازولينا، ما كان فى حاجة فى المدنية غير تسمع صوت الوالدة المسكنية

كيف تشوف ولدها، غادى كبير تسبل

لو كنتش تسكن فى الجايتو ما عندك شى مستقبل

[Chorus: Akon]

This goes out to my tatta's in the ghetto

My Turkoes in the ghetto

My Mocro's in the ghetto (Ghetto)

'Cause this goes out to the Anti's in the ghetto

Maluku's in the ghetto

The Joego's in the ghetto (Ghetto)

Ghetto living
