INTRO
[Gm] [F]
[Gm]Ghett[F]o, Ghet[Gm]to, Ghett[F]o, Ghet[Gm]to livi[F]n
VERSE 1
[Gm]These streets remind me of q[F]uicksand
When your o[Gm]n it you keep goin' d[F]own - goin' down
And there's [Gm]no one to hold on to
And there's [F]no one to pull you out
You keep on f[Gm]allin'
And no one can here you c[F]allin'
So you end up self-destru[Gm]ctin'
On the corner with the tuli on the waist line [F]just got outta the bing doin' state t[Gm]ime
Teeth marks on my back from the cani[F]ne
Dark memories of when there was no suns[Gm]hine
They said that I wouldn't [F]make it
I remember like yester[Gm]day (hey)
Holdin on to what God [F]gave me
CHORUS
'cause that's the life when you're
[Gm]Living in the ghetto and
[F]Eating in the ghetto or
[Gm]Sleeping in the ghett[F]o
Cause thats the life when ur
[Gm]Living in the ghetto and
[F]Eating in the ghetto or
[Gm]Sleeping in the ghe[F]tto
VERSE 2
[Gm]No need to cherish l[F]uxuries 'cause everythin' come and [Gm]go
Even the life that you have is [F]borrowed
'cause you're not promised tomo[Gm]rrow
So live your life as if e[F]veryday'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
Yeah there g[F]otta be there gotta be a better way -o[Gm]h
Yeah you gotta be willin to pray
Yeah there [F]gotta be there gotta be a better way -he[Gm]y
Whoever said that this struggle would s[F]top today
A lot of niggas dead or [Gm]locked away
Teenage Women growing [F]up with AIDS
CHORUS
That's the life when you're
[Gm]Living in the ghetto and
[F]Eating in the ghetto or
[Gm]Sleeping in the ghett[F]o

BRIDGE
Gun s[Gm]hots every night in the ghetto
Crooked c[F]ops on sight in the ghetto
Every d[Gm]ay is a fight in the ghetto oh[F] oh oh oh oh
Got [Gm]kids to feed in the ghetto
Selling[F] coke and weed in the ghetto
Every [Gm]day somebody bleeds in the ghetto oh[F] oh oh oh oh
