Ain't no telling who the block lost today

It seems like life's getting harder everyday

Left with no food just pain and sorrow

Hard life in the ghetto

Hungry I don't know about tomorrow

Hard life in the ghetto

More guns than friends

Death never ends

Hard life in the ghetto

Dreams to follow but all I know

It's a hard life in the ghetto

From the train to the east gate

You can see the metamorphoses of a gangster with a new face

Born hungry still starving on a higher story

It gets gorey cus the toe tags don't come with warnings

Only mournings like the 1st shift

Pawn with no peace could never stop this

Sickness slipping from from my heart into theses streets

It's a sickening cycle indeed

When my soul weeps like the sea

I wonder if I can be free from the ghetto

Can I get an angel

Halo for these devils I'm loading up the ammo

Hope ain't cutting it any mo my mama pray for my soul

But I see it from New York all the way down to Seoul

That this whole planet is a ghetto really

If you in the ghetto then I know you really feel me

So stay strong keep your head up and keep walking straight

I know in your head you're singin everyday

Left with no food just pain and sorrow

Hard life in the ghetto

Hungry I don't know about tomorrow

Hard life in the ghetto

More guns than friends

Death never ends

Hard life in the ghetto

Dreams to follow but all I know

It's a hard life in the ghetto

I'm sitting pondering wondering what I would become

I need a job but narcotics is our main income

I'm trying to be employed but I'm stigmatized where I'm from

No wonder why we join mobs to steal and rob

Where I'm from apartment buildings got single moms

It's a sad story when kids are born and dads gone

No teary eyes just mental scars and sad songs

We can't pause our lives so we fast forward

Cops harass us they got us on their radars

Those with jobs complaining saying they underpay us

Food is on the rise how am I to save up

Especially when you got kids that need stuff

I got to get out of this cycle I can't stay stuck

I got to wake up from this struggle can't stay tucked

Cuz life ain't a bed of roses just thorns

It's time to make my escape and move on

Left with no food just pain and sorrow

Hard life in the ghetto

Hungry I don't know about tomorrow

Hard life in the ghetto

More guns than friends

Death never ends

Hard life in the ghetto

Dreams to follow but all I know

It's a hard life in the ghetto

I gotta get through this pain

Ain't no telling who the block lost today

I gotta get through this pain

It seems like life's getting harder everyday

I gotta get though this pain

Cus life in the ghetto ain't the same

Ain't no tears on my face cus I gotta face the pain

Ain't no place like the ghetto but I gotta get aw
