Biggie Smalls, 2 Pac & Akon Another Day In The Ghetto Lyrics

[Akon]
Ghetto, ghetto, ghetto
Ghetto livin'

[Notorious B.I.G.]
Another day in the ghetto (ghetto)
Another day in the ghetto

I know how it feels to wake up f___ed up
Pockets broke as hell, another rock to sell
People look at you like you's the user
Selling drugs to all the losers, mad budha abuser
But they don't know about the stress-filled day
Baby on the way, mad bills to pay
That's why you drink Tanqueray - so you can reminisce
And wish - you wasn't livin' so devilish, s___
I remember I was just like you
Smokin' blunts with my crew, flippin' over 62's
'Cause GED wasn't B.I.G.
I had to get PAD, that's why my mom's hate me
She was forced to kick me out no doubt
Then I figured out licks when for twenties down south
Packed up my tools for my raw power move
GLOCK 19 for casket and flower moves
For chumps tryin' to stop my flow
And what they don't know will show
On the autopsy
Went to see papi - to cop me a brick
Asked for some consignment and he wasn't tryin' to hear it
Smoking mad newports 'cause i'm due in court
For an a__ault that I caught - in Bridgeport, New York
Catch me if you can like the gingerbread man
You better have your gat in hand, 'cause man
(You better have your gat in hand 'cause man)

[Akon]

Ghetto, ghetto, ghetto
Ghetto livin'

[2Pac]
Our lifestyles be close captioned
Addicted to fatal attraction
Pictures of actions be played back in admist the mashin'
No fairytales for this young black male
Some see me stranded in this land of hell, jail and crack sales
Hustlin' and heart a n____ culture
Or the repercussions while bustin' on backstabbing vultures
Sellin' my soul for material wishes, fast cars and b____es
Wishin' I lived my life a legend immortalized in pictures
Why shed tears save your sympathy
My childhood years were spent buryin' my peers in the cemetary
Here's a message to the newborns waitin' to breathe
If you believe then you can achieve, just look at me
Against all odds though life is hard we carry on
Livin' in the projects broke, no lights on
To all the seeds that follow me, protect your essence
Born with less - but you still precious

[Akon]

Ghetto, ghetto, ghetto
Ghetto Livin'

[Notorious B.I.G.]
Another day in the ghetto (ghetto)

[Akon]
Gunshots every night in a (ghetto)
Crooked cops on sight in a (ghetto)
Everyday is a fight in a (ghetto)
Oh oh oh oh oh..
{Another day in the ghetto}
Got kids to feed in a (ghetto)
Sellin' c__e and weed in a (ghetto)
Everyday somebody bleed in a (ghetto)
Oh oh oh oh oh..

[Notorious B.I.G.]
I had the master plan
I'm in the caravan on my way to Maryland
With my man Two Tecs to take over this projects
They call him Two Tecs, he tote two techs
And when he start to bust he like to ask who's next
At last, i'm literally loungin' black
Sittin' back, countin' double digit thousand stacks
See who got smoked, what rumors was spreadin'
Last I heard I was dead
(I was dead)

[Akon]
Ghetto, ghetto, ghetto
Ghetto livin'

[Notorious B.I.G.]
Another day in the ghetto
Another day in the ghetto

[Akon]
That's the life your livin in the (ghetto)
Or livin' by the (ghetto)
Or eatin' in the (ghetto)
That's the life your livin' in the (ghetto)
Or sleepin' in the (ghetto)
Or livin' in the (ghetto)
Ghetto livin'
