TRU, C-Murder, Master P, Silkk the Shocker, Ms. Peaches - The Ghetto is a Struggle lyrics

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

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

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

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)

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

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

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
