I got a degree 
But my felony won't let me get a job 
Life's so hard 
And just today 
Somebody stole my car and the bus [bad word] my way 
I think I'll walk the streets today 
It seems like I'm stuck in the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto 
Sometimes it seems like I'm stuck, I'm in the ghetto, Ooh 
But I got love for the ghetto, ghetto 
When I go to my friend 
Now with open arms, let me in 
And everyday 
We just dream and scheme and drink our lifes away 
I think I'll fly the sky today 
It seems like I'm stuck in the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto 
Sometimes it seems like I'm stuck, I'm in the ghetto, Ooh 
But I got love for the ghetto, ghetto 
But everytime I seem to keep my feet on the ground...
