Verse 1: Bay-C
Di ghetto yute it nuh nice it is not a paradise
Fi live inna di jungle amongst di dog dem as a lice
If a man chat tuff then a man a tek a ride
Before yuh boost war tink twice, seet!!!

Verse 2: Akon
These streets remind me of quicksand, when your on it, youll keep goin down (Goin down)
And theres no one to hold on to, and theres no one to pull you out
Keep on fallin (Fallin) no one can hear you callin
And so you end up self-destructing
Round the corner with the tooley on the waist side
Just get up off the bid done state time
Thief once so me back from the K9
Like memories say when there was no sunshine
Cause they said that I would make it, I remember like yesterday
Holdin on to what God Gave me
Chorus: Akon (*Craigy T) (**Foota Hype)
Cause thats the life how were livin in the (Ghetto)

And eatin in the (Ghetto) (*Weh we live?)
Oh sleepin in the (Ghetto) Ghetto, ghetto (Ghetto livin)
Verse 3: Craigy T (Alexx)
Yo, yo, well its a dead end street, no money caan find nuttin to eat
Its like di only way fi live in this game is to cheat
Hustle and juggle fi mek two ends meet (Hey! Hey!)
As I step up then I pull yuh back dung undaneath
Cause I live for di moment nuh guarantee (Always live, and survive)
Anything cross yuh path, point and squeeze (Not ready, to stay alive)
Yuh haffi kill or be killed that a di code of di streets (If you do, become alive)
Dats how we livin inna di jungle wid leaches and flees (Thats how we livin livin in the ghetto)
Verse 4: Akon
No need to cherish luxuries, cause everything comes and goes
Even the life that you have is borrowed, cause your not promised tomorrow
So live your life as if everyday is gon be your last (Be your last)
Once you move forward cant go back, just prepare to remove your past
Cause you gotta be willin to pray, yes there gotta be there gotta be a better way
Oh, yes you gotta be willin to pray, cause there gotta be there gotta be a better day, yeah
Whoever said though the struggle will stop today, a lot of n****s dead or locked away
Teenage women grwoin up with Aids
Chorus: Akon
Cause thats the life how were livin in the (Ghetto)
And eatin in the (Ghetto) Oh sleepin in the (Ghetto)
Ghetto, thats the life when your livin in the (Ghetto)
And eatin in the (Ghetto)
Oh sleepin in the (Ghetto) Ghetto (Ghetto livin)
Bridge: Akon
Gunshots everyday in the (Ghetto) Crooked cops on sight in the (Ghetto)
Everyday its a fight in the (Ghetto) Oh oh oh oh oh (Ghetto Livin)
Got kids to feed in the (Ghetto) Sellin coke and weed in the (Ghetto)

Chorus: Akon
