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

Cause thats the life when ur
Gm Living in the ghetto and
F Eating in the ghetto or
Gm F Sleeping in the ghetto VERSE 2
Gm F Gm No need to cherish luxuries 'cause everythin' come and go
F Even the life that you have is borrowed
Gm 'cause you're not promised tomorrow
F So live your life as if everyday's gonna be your last
Gm Once you move forward can't go back
F Best prepare to remove your past
Gm Cause you gotta be willin' to pray
F Gm Yeah there gotta be there gotta be a better way -oh Yeah you gotta be willin to pray
F Gm Yeah there gotta be there gotta be a better way -hey
F Whoever said that this struggle would stop today
Gm A lot of niggas dead or locked away
F Teenage Women growing up with AIDS CHORUS That's the life when you're
Gm Living in the ghetto and
F Eating in the ghetto or
Gm F Sleeping in the ghetto Cause thats the life when ur
Gm Living in the ghetto and
F Eating in the ghetto or
Gm F Sleeping in the ghetto BRIDGE
Gm Gun shots every night in the ghetto
F Crooked cops on sight in the ghetto
Gm F Every day is a fight in the ghetto oh oh oh oh oh
Gm Got kids to feed in the ghetto
F Selling coke and weed in the ghetto
Gm F Every day somebody bleeds in the ghetto oh oh oh oh oh CHORUS That's the life when you're
Gm Living in the ghetto and
F Eating in the ghetto or
Gm F Sleeping in the ghetto Cause thats the life when ur
Gm Living in the ghetto and
F Eating in the ghetto or
Gm F Sleeping in the ghetto
