George Benson - The Ghetto download song

Song Lyrics

even though my sister smoked crack cocaine
Even though she s got five mouths to feed, don t even have shoes on their feet, funky ghetto
the story i tell is so incomplete
even though some people give you no respect
You can pay your bills and not drink too much, talkin bout the ghetto, but will he kill another brother before he dies
tryin to stay alive
i wonder if the mayor overlooked that list

trying to stay alive
Won t ya tell em bout it too hort, talkin bout the ghetto
the ghetto talkin bout the ghetto
only thing i know is how to survive
funky ghetto
cause when you re ignorant
only thing he knows is how to survive

We re all the same color underneath, all you gotta do is just be yourself The, be intelligent
The ghetto talkin bout the ghetto, won t ya tell em bout it too hort
Sitting in the jailhouse running your mouth, funky ghetto
got no place else to go
I get a lot of love so i m giving it back to the ghetto, funky ghetto
I ll be getting paid and you ll be paying the cost, all these guns just to handle me in the ghetto, don t even have shoes on their feet
the ghetto talkin bout the ghetto

Black man trying to break into my house again, i wouldn t shoot you bro but i d shoot that fool
Mama s next door getting high, i wonder if the mayor overlooked that list, 600 million on a football team
You better listen to me, and that s to take care of you
Ten years from now, talkin bout the ghetto
tryin to survive in the heart of the ghetto
Tryin to survive in the heart of the ghetto, didn t teach him in school now he s slangin dope Benson, you can pay your bills and not drink too much
Even though they put us down and call us animals, waiting on him i d better help myself

Trying to survive, even though my brothers do me just like that, ain t nothing changed
So if you don t listen, ain t nothing changed
Old school buddies not doing it right, but you don t see
Young kids grow up and that s all they know, even though my brothers do me just like that
You keep one eye open, while me and my people try to get out
Sell you stuff you might kill for, i get a lot of love so i m giving it back to the ghetto
Don t look at me and don t ask me why, even though she s got five mouths to feed

She was nine months pregnant, and when they throw you in jail you got nothing to say
even though my sister smoked crack cocaine
You keep one eye open, where will you be
but you don t see
Trying to live our lives, so much game in a too hort rap, ain t nothing changed
We use alias names like too hort, and her baby died just like a dope fiend
Won t ya tell em bout it too hort, you better listen to me

Be intelligent, we use alias names like too hort
black man trying to break into my house again
you can pay your bills and not drink too much
