everyday our soul is saved
Ribs touchin' but our souls is brave
It's a battle, everyday but life goes on
Lil' soldiers runnin' round
street life and fights is practice
Watchin' Scarface lookin'
Callin' the crib collect,
beggin' they moms for bail
everything that we go through
From the east to the west,
Same thing, same thing, same thing
In the ghetto, ghetto, in the gutter
In the ghetto, in the gutter
On the west coast, dudes bangin' slang
kids do the same old thing, ya heard?
trigger clip goes boom, boom
Police speed, flashlights go zoom, zoom
Ducking down, peeking out
Mama telling you don't go outside, but
And every day it's the same old song
Short days, but the stories are long
Cops roll up quick, push your peeps back
when he snatched a he -shat
everything that we go through
From the east to the west,
Sleepy in the ghetto, ghetto in the gutter
Yo, there is a higher power
Soak this in, dry the makeup
daddy flip keys to cake up
quiet the streets in session
That's the lesson, humble yourself,
Raise up and claim power,
From Philly to the streets of LA
Little homies like doing time in the bing
In the ghetto, ghetto, yeah
everything that we go through
From the east to the west,
In the ghetto, ghetto, in the gutter
In the ghetto, in the gutter, yeah
In the ghetto, in the gutter
Thank for watching, I'll see the
