[Intro:]
In the ghetto (ghetto!)
In the ghetto (ghetto!)
In the ghetto
[Chorus:]
I was born and raised in the ghetto
I was born and raised in the ghetto
I'm a man, I'm a man of the ghetto
Let me tell you something good
Listen to me, in the ghetto
Strong to my eyes and
Listen to me, in the ghetto
How do you raise your kids in the ghetto?
How do you raise your kids in the ghetto?
Feed one child, and starve another
Tell me, tell me of something good
Listen to me, in the ghetto
It's right in the ghetto!
Right in the ghetto!
Ghetto!
Right in the ghetto
The dread dem in the ghetto
Where I born and grow
They leave her for the baby, alone, leave her alone
They leave her for the baby, alone, leave her alone
In the ghetto where she born and grow
How do you raise your kids in the ghetto?
How do you raise your kids in the ghetto?
Feed one child, and starve another
Let me tell you of something good
Something good
Something good
