Urban Mystic - In da Ghetto

Listen to my story

Everything that I wanted to do
Seems like it was hard to do
But my daddy told me, "Son, just believe
And da things will come to you"

"And if it's in God's plan
It's gonna happen anyway
All you got to do
Is be patient and receit it one day"

Never thought my life would be no good
My daddy left me so alone I stood
Your baby boy is coming up in da hood
And that's da way it goes in da ghetto

Never thought my life would be no good
My daddy left me so alone I stood
Your baby boy is coming up in da hood
And that's da way it goes in da ghetto

So now I done came on up
To a bigger step in my life
Yeah, baby boy got a boy of his own
And some day might have a wife

'Cause da ghetto's been good to me
And Lord knows it was hard
I stood still until my chance came
Put my trust, kept my faith in God

I never thought I'd make it
To a major point in my life
'Cause every time I turn around
I see that devil in my sight

Just me and my brother
I gotta take care of mama
And that's da way it goes in da ghetto

Never thought my life would be no good
My daddy left me so alone I stood
Your baby boy is coming up in da hood
And that's da way it goes in da ghetto

Never thought my life would be no good
My daddy left me so alone I stood
Your baby boy is coming up in da hood
And that's da way it goes in da ghetto

In da ghetto
Oh, that's da way it goes
That's da way it goes
And that's da way it goes
Somebody knows that I'm talking about a
Can I get a witness out there
And that's da way it goes, oh yeah

Never thought my life would be no good
My daddy left me so alone I stood
Your baby boy is coming up in da hood
And that's da way it goes in da ghetto

Never thought my life would be no good
My daddy left me so alone I stood
Your baby boy is coming up in da hood
And that's da way it goes in da ghetto
