Ghetto Life Songtext
von Joe Louis Walker

When cold at night I′m gon'
I was born, you know I
Spend some time in the foster home
I don′t know, don-don't know who the-, brought me here
I dont know and baby I don't care, it′s alright
Yeah-yeah it′s alright

You don't know-o what it′s like
Trying to survive in this here, ghetto life
Oh yeah, oh-oh yeah

Oh I turned 16, I was on the streets yeah
Was nobody there to comfort me
I-I, I was trying- best I could
Sometime bad baby, sometimes good, it's alright
Hey it′s alright

You don't know-o what it′s like
Trying to survive in this here, ghetto life
Hey-hey yeah ghetto life


21 you know I become a man
I'll be demned to finally, to understand
That you can take the boy outta the ghetto
You can't take the ghetto-, outta the boy, it′s alright
Hey yeah-yeah it′s alright
Yes it is-

You don't know-o what it′s like
You don't know-o what it′s like
You don't know-o what it′s like
Trying to survive in this here, ghetto life

You don't know
You don't know, don′t know
I′m talking 'bout the ghetto, aw
You don′t know, no-no
I'm talking ′bout the ghetto, yeah-yeah

The ghetto
Hey-hey yeah ghetto life
Talking 'bout the ghetto, uh-uh
Yeah-yeah, yes I know it, yes I know
Yes I know, yes I know about the ghetto
Talking ′bout the ghetto
