Chorus peaches:
The ghetto is a struggle but weand've gots to change our lives
Weand've got to change our lives oh oh
The ghetto is a struggle but weand've gots to change our lives
Weand've got to change our lives oh oh
Master p:
Iand've done seen it all in the bricks
Somebody said he would never change
The homies killinand' up each other
Shit i guess that is the dope game
And if you look like a thug, then that mean trouble
See my next door neighbor knockinand' on the window
She wanna ???
And my water donand't get hot, i got bleach in my holey socks
And my mom started stressinand' us why i started sellinand' rocks
And this street got my crazy
Momma said i canand't lose my baby (damn)
But see these niggas so shady (ha bro?)
Fuck the world if they take me
Chorus
C-murder:
The ghetto is a struggle to me
Who can i be?
Will it bring trouble to me?
Before i rest in peace i ask my auntie to look up in the sky and thank
Before she turn another trigger, take another drink
I know itand's hard
Tryinand' to survive and not die and stay alive
But who you really foolinand'?
Cause we all live a lie
It ainand't the same wishinand' ya didnand't have any
Didnand't want it and take it
But if the situation right then itand's your pockets iand'm breakinand'
I lost my conscious when i lost my big brother
Ask my mother, iand'm never changinand' my ways
Not even for the source cover
I puts it down like that on this track
To give back to the hood
Itand's a struggle (itand's a struggle)
Itand's all good (itand's all good)
Chorus
Silkk the shocker:
The ghetto is a struggle, so i gots to make a change
You know itand's hard on the streets, but iand've gots to maintain
Mom pullinand' up on my sleeve tellinand' me donand't leave
Iand'm like, andquot;i gots to do what i gots to do
Because if i donand't, i donand't eatandquot;
Grew up with the rats and the roaches
Tryinand' to stay focused (stay focused)
Tryinand' to survive in this world but itand's like i stay hopeless
The world is a ghetto and i canand't escape that (canand't escape that)
Every time i try to prove and'em wrong yand'all just prove and'em right
Shit and, i hate that
I know iand've made some mistakes black
Deep in the ghetto tryinand' to find the queen
Tryinand' to avoid the hoodrat
Weand've go to make a change
And in fact, we should
Just because we in the ghetto
We should still dream see past the hood
Chorus (2x)
