Lyrics
Cause in the ghetto only the strong survive, only adds to a mother s frustration
Broken down homes, thousands of lives wasting away, cause in the ghetto only the strong survive
Oh it s an ev ry day thing well well in the ghetto, and no one s interested
Getting ahead huh was strictly a nono, it s a challenge just staying alive The, thousands of lives wasting away
People living from day to day, cause in the ghetto only the strong survive Masterpiece, that live in the ghetto
Broken down homes, only adds to a mother s frustration
They don t even know what life s all about, it s a challenge just staying alive
it s a challenge just staying alive
stealin cars
Where i was born ev rything was dull and dingy, that live in the ghetto Masterpiece, thousands of lives wasting away
I lived in a place they called the inner city, stealin cars The, only adds to a mother s frustration
Thousands of lives wasting away, broken down homes
Kids strung out, that live in the ghetto The, cause in the ghetto only the strong survive
rat infested
Getting ahead huh was strictly a nono, i lived in a place they called the inner city Temptations, stealin cars
Stealin cars, kids strung out, cause in the ghetto only the strong survive
People living from day to day, job can t find one
the streets raised me from a baby
Getting ahead huh was strictly a nono, it s a challenge just staying alive
it s a challenge just staying alive
only adds to a mother s frustration
Cause in the ghetto only the strong survive, getting ahead huh was strictly a nono
The streets raised me from a baby, cause in the ghetto only the strong survive, oh it s an ev ry day thing well well in the ghetto
people living from day to day
cause nobody cares what happens to the folks
It s a challenge just staying alive, thousands of lives wasting away
they don t even know what life s all about
folks comin home
and no one s interested
thousands of lives wasting away
Thousands of lives wasting away, job can t find one, i lived in a place they called the inner city
Cause nobody cares what happens to the folks, it s a challenge just staying alive
Only adds to a mother s frustration, mugging drugs The, kids strung out
People living from day to day, and finding all their possessions gone, cause nobody cares what happens to the folks
and finding all their possessions gone
Oh it s an ev ry day thing in the ghetto, it s a challenge just staying alive
Rat infested, people living from day to day Temptations, people living from day to day
And no one s interested, kids strung out Masterpiece, they don t even know what life s all about
rat infested
Getting ahead huh was strictly a nono, cause in the ghetto only the strong survive, kids strung out
Kids strung out, and finding all their possessions gone Masterpiece, people living from day to day
thousands of lives wasting away
Rat infested, oh it s an ev ry day thing in the ghetto, stealin cars
Kids strung out, only adds to a mother s frustration
It s a challenge just staying alive, kids dodging cars for recreation, people living from day to day
folks comin home
I lived in a place they called the inner city, people living from day to day
thousands of lives wasting away
Getting ahead huh was strictly a nono, only adds to a mother s frustration
And finding all their possessions gone, that live in the ghetto Temptations, cause nobody cares what happens to the folks
Folks comin home, cause nobody cares what happens to the folks Temptations, that live in the ghetto
cause in the ghetto only the strong survive
Kids dodging cars for recreation, kids dodging cars for recreation, oh it s an ev ry day thing in the ghetto
And finding all their possessions gone, that live in the ghetto
I lived in a place they called the inner city, broken down homes Temptations, rat infested
Job can t find one, that live in the ghetto, job can t find one
thousands of lives wasting away
