Where I was born evrything was dull and dingy
I lived in a place they called "The Inner City"
Getting ahead was strictly a no no
'Cause nobody cares what happens to the folks
That live in the ghetto
Thousands of lives wasting away
People living from day to day
Its a challenge just staying alive
Cause in the ghetto only the strong survive
Money I aint got none, job cant find one
The streets raised me from a baby, ooh
Thousands of lives wasting away
People living from day to day
Its a challenge just staying alive
Cause in the ghetto only the strong survive
Broken down homes, kids strung out
They dont even know what lifes all about
Stealin cars, robbin bars
Mugging, drugs, rat infested
And no ones interested
Kids dodging cars for recreation
Only adds to a mothers frustration
Break-ins, folks comin home
And finding all their possessions gone
Oh its an evry day thing - well well - in the ghetto
Oh its an evry day thing in the ghetto
