Can I talk about the ghetto?
That's where I'm from
Listen up, whoa

Just ridin' through the neighborhood
What I see don't look too good
All my brothers hustlin'
All my sisters strugglin'
Just to make it through another day
Just another day
That's just the way it is
(Just the way it is)
When you're living...

Living in the ghetto
Trying to make it seems so hard
Living in the ghetto
Unemployment don't even have no jobs
Living in the ghetto
Whoa, I grew up in the ghetto
In the ghetto, ghetto whoa

Still got so many memories (memories)
Growing up with my family (oh family)
Still westside till I die (throw it up)
And even though I'm living in a high rise
It's not where you are but it's where you're from
Daddy told me long ago
That's why I'll never forget my days
Never forget my days no

Living in the ghetto
People don't got no where to go home
Living in the ghetto
Pimps and hustlers everybody knows
Living in the ghetto
Whoa, I grew up in the ghetto
In the ghetto, in the ghetto hmm

Play on, play on
My, my, my, my, my, my, my
Somebody tell me why
It has to be this way
Oh why?
Don't give up, no, no
Listen

This is for my queens
Keep your hopes high
Stay down on your knees
Praying every night
There will be days like these
Mama used to say
Ain't no need to worry
He's gonna make a way
And this is for my kings
Don't forget respect
Gotta keep moving on
Cause it ain't over yet
Keep your head about it
Keep your head about it
Bout it, bout it, bout it

While you're living
Living in the ghetto
See I'll never forget where I'm from, no, no
Living in the ghetto
And how far I've come, see I've come too far
Living in the ghetto
In the ghetto whoa, in the ghetto
In the ghetto ooh

Living in the ghetto
So many kids out in the streets
Living in the ghetto
2 o'clock in the morning when they need to be at home asleep
Living in the ghetto
In the ghetto, in the ghetto
Living in the ghetto...
In the ghetto, ghetto whoa
