These streets remind me of quicksand

When your on it you'll keep goin down

And there's no one to hold on too
And there's no one to pull you out
You keep on fallin
And no one can here you callin
So you end up self destructing
On the corner with the tuli on the waist tight just got outta the bing doin stay time
Teeth marks on my back from the canine
Dark Memories of when there was no sunshine
Cause they said that I wouldn't make it
I remember like yesterday
Holdin on to what god gave me

Cause thats the life when ur
Living in the ghetto and
Eating in the ghetto or
Sleeping in the ghetto

No need to cherish luxuries cause everythin' come and go
Even the life that you have is borrowed
Cause your not promised tomorrow
So live your life as if everydays' gon be your last
Once you move forward can't go back
Best prepare to remove your past

Cause ya gotta be willin to pray
Yea There gotta be there gotta be a better way oh

Whoever said that this drama would stop today
A lot of niggers dead or locked away
Teenage Women growing up with aids

Gun shots every night in the ghetto
Crooked cops on sight in the ghetto
Every day is a fight in the ghetto
Got kids to feed in the ghetto
Selling coke and weed in the ghetto
Every day somebody bleed in the ghetto 

这些街道在提醒着我什么叫做沉沦

每当置身其中,就会不停的跌落

这里没有人支持你

这里没有人拉你出来

你只能不断的跌落

也没有人能听到你的呼喊

所以你只能自生自灭

日复一日的穿着绑紧的背心站在墙角

后背上一个个狗的咬痕

那里没有阳光,只有痛苦的回忆

他们说我永远不可能跨越这里

但我记起像昨天的事一样清晰

紧紧的抓住上帝赐予我的一切

因为这就是ghetto的生活

不用去珍视财富,因为所有的一切只是过眼云烟

甚至你的生命只是借来的

因为你不能去承诺明天的事

所以你要把每一天当作末日来生活

一旦你走向前方,千万不要回头

最好的准备就是忘记你的过去

年轻人,一定要去祈祷

谁在宣称今天就会结束?

很多兄弟被拘捕了,很多兄弟死了

年轻的女生伴随着艾滋病长大
每天晚上都会听到枪声

每天都会见到歪斜的警察

每一天都是一场战斗

养活孩子，贩卖毒品

每一天

这里都有人在流血
