Chorus Peaches:
The ghetto is a struggle but we`ve gots to change our lives
We`ve got to change our lives Oh oh
The ghetto is a struggle but we`ve gots to change our lives
We`ve got to change our lives Oh oh
Master P:
I`ve done seen it all in the bricks
Somebody said he would never change
The homies killin` 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 knockin` on the window
She wanna ???
And my water don`t get hot, I got bleach in my holey socks
And my mom started stressin` us why I started sellin` rocks
And this street got my crazy
Momma said I can`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 it`s hard
Tryin` to survive and not die and stay alive
But who you really foolin`?
Cause we all live a lie
It ain`t the same wishin` ya didn`t have any
Didn`t want it and take it
But if the situation right then It`s your pockets I`m breakin`
I lost my conscious when I lost my big brother
Ask my mother, I`m never changin` my ways
Not even for The Source cover
I puts it down like that on this track
To give back to the hood
It`s a struggle (It`s a struggle)
It`s all good (It`s all good)
Chorus
Silkk the Shocker:
The ghetto is a struggle, so I gots to make a change
You know it`s hard on the streets, but I`ve gots to maintain
Mom pullin` up on my sleeve tellin` me don`t leave
I`m like, I gots to do what I gots to do
because if I don`t, I don`t eat
Grew up with the rats and the roaches
Tryin` to stay focused (Stay focused)
Tryin` to survive in this world but it`s like I stay hopeless
The world is a ghetto and I can`t escape that (Can`t escape that)
Every time I try to prove `em wrong y`all just prove `em right
Shit and, I hate that
I know I`ve made some mistakes black
Deep in the ghetto tryin` to find the queen
Tryin` to avoid the hoodrat
We`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)
