[00:21.30] |
Ghetto, ghetto |
[00:26.26] |
Ghetto, ghetto livin' |
[00:31.85] |
These streets remind me of quicksand(quicksand) |
[00:35.47] |
When you're on it |
[00:36.79] |
You'll keep goin' down(goin' down) |
[00:39.90] |
And there's no one to hold on to |
[00:42.94] |
And there's no one to pull you out |
[00:45.46] |
You keep on fallin' |
[00:46.89] |
No one can hear you callin' |
[00:49.34] |
So you end up self-destructin' |
[00:51.59] |
On the corner |
[00:52.13] |
With the toolie on the waist line |
[00:54.13] |
Just got up out the thing doin' state time |
[00:56.66] |
Teeth marks on my back from the K-9 |
[00:59.04] |
Dark memories of when there was no sunshine |
[01:01.65] |
'Cause they said that I wouldn't make it |
[01:04.79] |
I remember like yesterday |
[01:06.99] |
Holdin' on to what God gave me |
[01:10.22] |

[01:32.87] |
No need to cherish luxuries |
[01:35.83] |
'Cause everything come and go |
[01:37.96] |
Even the life that you have is borrowed |
[01:40.61] |
'Cause you're not promised tomorrow |
[01:42.95] |
So live your life |
[01:44.61] |
As if every day is gon' be your last |
[01:48.20] |
Once you've moved forward |
[01:49.42] |
You can't go back just to remove your past |
[01:52.94] |
'Cause you gotta be willin' to pray |
[01:54.86] |
Yes, there gotta be |
[01:55.83] |
There gotta be a better way |
[01:58.20] |

'Cause there gotta be |
[02:00.90] |
There gotta be a better day |
[02:03.39] |
Whoever said that |
[02:04.78] |
The struggle would stop today |
[02:06.63] |
A lot a niggas dead or locked away |
[02:09.17] |
Teenage women growin' up with AIDS |
