Ghetto Life

GHETTO LIFE I'm just a black guy trying to survive I hustle hard, just for me to live I was born and bred in the ghetto, And the only place I could earn money is not only at the lotto I was feeling like I was walking in a circle Everywhere I go I see the struggle On the street human life is like a bubble But I always learn how to stay out of trouble So i decided to get on my feet, Leaving the ghetto life style and walk through the street Just for me to seek a good Job Cos my life style is not to steal or rob Poverty has always been my best friend, I keep on running the race to put poverty to an end I still remain that single guy who live in pains, My pains made me stronger, so I never complain The ghetto life is real, it's a viable lesson to learn, It got people living on the edge, queuing up for their turn, All my life spent in the ghetto at my youthful age, With determination to excel in life, I never tarnish my image .. #PricelessPEN DECEMBER, 2017
