GHETTO LIFE

it's a ghetto life
say i, i
when you livin de ghetto life
say i, i
when you maggle in a ghetto

vs1. move through da ghetto
cruise through da ghetto
sometimes you can't find food in da ghetto
politicians still pull strings lile gepetto
designed to keep you down you'll never get out

sit down pun de corner, smoke weed and get high
hope no rival gang member na drive by
and a lick shot
livin in a friction, look de
one, two, three, four, five drop
nine millimeter, rinse it clean
you no see da blood run
buck up in a big gun
say you never tink bout de graveyard scene
no syrene

ch. when you livin in a ghetto life
say i, i
livin de ghetto life
i, i
when you livin de ghetto li- i-ife
livin de ghetto li-i-ife

vs.2 young gal get big up, drop outta school
mamma always tell her she dumb and fool
daddy never round de
and he never come de
say he never teach her de golden rule
can't get a good job force her to steal
just fe get de pickney a real hot meal
police and judge dem cut a raw deal
now she see how de bar dem feel

she's crying
she's dying inside

lightening and thunder
pickney a sleep
hard rain fall and de roof it a leak
ball out fe shelter
no one fe help her
no one but God when guidance she seek

look at de light
