Lyrics

[Verse 1: Damon Harris and Otis Williams] Money, I ain't got none (Where I was born, everything was dull and dingy) Job, can't find one I lived in a place they called the inner city The streets raised me from a baby (Getting ahead, huh, was strictly a no-no 'Cause nobody cares what happens to folks that live in the ghetto) [Verse 2: Richard Street and Damon Harris] Thousand of lives wasting away People living from day to day This is a challenge just staying alive 'Cause in the ghetto, only the strong survives [Verse 2: Damon Harris and Melvin Franklin] Broken down homes, kids strung out They don't even know what life's all about Stealin' cars, robbin' bars Muggin', drugs, rat-infested and no one's interested [Verse 3: Richard Street and Damon Harris] Kids dodgin' cars for recreation Only adds to a mother's frustration Break-ins, folks comin' home and findin' all their possessions gone Oh ho [Outro: Dennis Edwards] It's an every day thing - well well - in the ghetto It's an every day thing in the ghetto
