Sparkle - The Ghetto lyrics

rate me

[Intro]

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 highrise

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

(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

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'll 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, who

(I grew up in the ghetto)

In the ghetto, the ghetto

(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
