Money I ain't got none
job can't find one
The streets raised
me from a baby ooh
Thousands of lives
wasting away
People living from
day to day
It's a challenge
just staying alive
Cause in the ghetto
only the strong survive
Broken down homes
kids strung out
They don't even know
what life's all about
Kids dodging cars
for recreation
Only adds to a
mother's frustration
Breakings folks
comin home
And finding all their
possessions gone
Oh it's an every day
thing well well
in the ghetto
Every day thing
in the ghetto
