Ghetto Lyrics

by Grady Champion

(Chorus)
Out the ghetto
Out the ghetto
Out the ghetto
Out the ghetto

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e106244-grady_champion~ghetto_lyrics.html ]
(Verse)
I was born and raised in Canton, Mississippi
Just a country boy who didn't wanna listen
I had to learn everything the hard way
Tryna get it fast, just never seem to pan

(Verse)
But that's okay, that's what they all say
Hopin to meal to see another day
Ain't nothing real ‘bout the way you have to live
Every day, so you know I gotta get out the ghetto

(Chorus)
Out the ghetto
Out the ghetto
Out the ghetto
Out the ghetto

(Verse)
I'm a family man and family come first
Doing everything I can to avoid the curse
‘Cause if I let it, don't kid, I would've eat you alive
Doing everything I can to survive

(Verse)
So called friends and enemies all the same
Life has no value, to them it's just a game
Smiley faces are up to no good
Taking everything you got and if they could

I gotta get out

(Chorus)
Out the ghetto
Out the ghetto
Out the ghetto
Out the ghetto

(Out the ghetto
Out the ghetto
Out the ghetto
Out the ghetto
Out the ghetto
Out the ghetto
Out the ghetto
Out the ghetto)

(Verse)
When I was growing up I didn't know how to act
Now I'm a grown man and I want to give back
To know where you're going remember where you're from
‘Cause the money ain't nothing if you don't help someone

(Chorus)
Out the ghetto
(Out the ghetto)
Out the ghetto
(Out the ghetto)
Out the ghetto
(Out the ghetto)
Out the ghetto
(Out the ghetto)

(Verse)
Sometime it feel like the world is a ghetto
Dirty business and politics with a score to settle
Trying to hold me down everywhere I go
But I survive to make it out the ghetto

(Chorus)
Out the ghetto
(Out the ghetto)
Out the ghetto
(Out the ghetto)
Out the ghetto
(Out the ghetto)
Out the ghetto
(Out the ghetto)

Out the ghetto
(Out the ghetto)
Out the ghetto
(Out the ghetto)
