INTRO

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

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
