[Verse 1]
I was hoping that we could come
together
You were hoping that we could see
the light
Cause there’s shootin’, and there’s
lootin’
[Chorus]
In the ghetto, in the ghetto, in
Thee ghetto, in the ghetto
For I must make my way back
home.
[Verse 2]
Last night I heard you, heard you
call my name
Last night I heard you, say you
wanna die
Cause there’s sleepin’, and there’s
weepin’
[Chorus]
In the ghetto, in the ghetto,
in the ghetto, in the ghetto
For I must make my way back
home.
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
People who know no comfort, no hope
City lights and people put them
down
Cause there’s shootin’, and there’s
In the ghetto, in the ghetto, in
the ghetto, in the ghetto
[Outro]
In the ghetto, in the ghetto, in the
ghetto, in the ghetto
For I must make my way back home.
