Ghetto Living part 2

by Tiffany   Oct 13, 2006


Drug addicts begging for a lil hit
tryin to satify the desire 4 todays fix
Followin drug dealers on they knees beggin and screamin please

gurls wearin clothes that look incomplete
walkin up and down the street
hopin that they will beat the other gurl in looks cross the street

people dying everyday cuz for medicine they cant pay
gettin sicker and sicker by the day
until finally their strength fades away
and we have to say goodbye to them that day

dont get me wrong
their good parts of the ghetto too
where people try and help eachotha get through
may slide a dolla or two cuz Monday the rent due

all our barbershops and hair salon
where we dish dirt and get our hair done
where love is kept alive
and where anyones welcome to reside

store houses and corner stores
where we go to buy chips and sodas for the day
while we go about our day

boys on the block with da pants hangin low
tryin to sell dat stuff for a lil dough
hustlin so they can make money so they can feed they kids and pay for they baby mamas wigs and weaves

so like i said ghetto living is hard living
thugs and wanna b g's shooting at me
but it all good
cuz ghetto love is all good
