Ghetto Soldier

Ghetto, ghetto, ghetto, ghetto we livin'

These streets remind me of quicksand

When your on it you'll keep goin' down

And there's no one to hold on too

And there's no one to pull you out you keep on fallin'

And no one can here you callin'

So you end up self destructing

On the corner with the tuli on the waist line

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

'Cause that's the life when your

Living in the

(Ghetto)

And eating in the

(Ghetto)

Or sleeping in the

(Ghetto, ghetto)

That's the life when your

Living in the

(Ghetto)

And eating in the

(Ghetto)

Or sleeping in the

(Ghetto, ghetto, ghetto)

No need to cherish luxuries 'cause everythin' come and go

Even the life that you have is borrowed

'Cause your not promised tomorrow

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

Once you move forward can't go back

Best prepare to remove your past

'Cause ya gotta be willin' to pray

Yes there gotta be there gotta be a better way

Yes ya gotta be willing to pray

'Cause there gotta be there gotta be a better day

Whoever said that the struggle would stop today

A lot of niggas dead or locked away

Teenage women growin' up with AID's

'Cause that's the life when your

Living in the

(Ghetto)

And eatin' in the

(Ghetto)

Or sleepin' in the

(Ghetto, ghetto)

That's the life when your

Livin' in the

(Ghetto)

And eatin' in the

(Ghetto)

Or sleepin' in the

(Ghetto, ghetto, ghetto)

Gun shots every night in the

(Ghetto)

Crooked cops on sight in the

(Ghetto)

Everyday is a fight in the

(Ghetto)

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

(Ghetto)

Got kids to feed in the

(Ghetto)

Sellin' coke and weed in the

(Ghetto)

Everyday somebody bleedin' in the

(Ghetto)

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

(Ghetto)

'Cause that's the life when your

Livin' in the

(Ghetto)

We livin' by the

(Ghetto)

And eatin' in the

(Ghetto, ghetto)

'Cause that's the life your

Livin' in the

(Ghetto)

And sleepin' by the

(Ghetto)

Livin' in the

(Ghetto, ghetto, ghetto)
