* Intro :

Comin' str8 from M.T.L. ( Where Money Talk'a Lot ! )
But it aint none 2 be spent !
...Check it out !

* Verse 1 :

~ In da streets of da hood where ma' ppl are poor .
Some sleep in a park, some sleep indoors .
This problem is alive Big Time in ma Comunity .
Those lookin for a job, gotz no opportunity .
Just thinkin about the fact dat dey life is so bad .
It's sad ! just look at what they'll neva have !
No high-school education, No source of explanation.
To the problem dey facin' ... Hear da situation !

The temptation to get cash is stronger than dey soul .
When it somethin dat yu want, it somethin yu cant controll !
Waintin' on wellfare, just 2 pay da rent .
but some dont got no crib so da money be spent .
Else-where ... Some a' drinkin hard 2 4get .
kuz nobody is givin'em what they cant get .
Help is what dey need and nobody bothers gee ...
Thats how we livin in poverty !

* Chorus :

Lead : Yeah !
Back up : Thats how it Goes ...
Lead : Why ?
Back up : Kuz We Livin in a Ghetto !
Lead : Yeah !
Back up : Thats how it Goes ...
Lead : Why ?
Back up : Kuz you Livin in a Ghetto !
Lead : Yeah !
Back up : Thats how it Goes ...
Lead : Why ?
Back up : Said dey Livin in a Ghetto !
Lead : Yeah !
Back up : Thats how it Goes ...
Lead : Life Being Broke,
Lead & Back up : Livin in a Ghetto .

* Verse 2 :

~ Poverty, is somethin' ppl dont care .
Everybody actin like if it wasnt there .
I've seen a little kid about 12 years old .
Sleepin outside in da middle a' winter cold .
Why does poverty exist in da first place ?
Maybe 'kuz da poor dont got no rights 2get paid !
You see someone begg'n, what's yo' reaction ?
He looks yu in dem eyes wit petty & starts askin' .
Please give me some change so I could eat something today !
Do you help'em ? ... Or walk away ?
A child gets beat-up & kicked outta da house .
You dial 9-1-1, so dey could check it out .
Kuz he's just a kid so therefore, you care for'em .
Lets Wait untill he grows-up we'll see if yu there for'em !
Now he's 17, ... Same'o -same'o .
He runs away with nowhere 2 go .
You meet'em on a street... What do you do ?
( He's beet'n-up crazy , his eyes'a black & blue ! )
You realise he's older and there aint nothin' changed .
He ask you for help this time : Could you help me again ?
You got 2 choices : Help'em or Not .
If you thinkin' bout'cha slef... Ditch'em on da spot !
He joins in a gang, starts doin' dat larceny .
Didnt finnish High-school, Livin' in Poverty !

* Chorus :

Lead : Yeah !
Back up : Thats how it Goes ...
Lead : Why ?
Back up : Kuz you Livin in a Ghetto !
Lead : Yeah !
Back up : Thats how it Goes ...
Lead : Why ?
Back up : Kuz he be Livin in a Ghetto !
Lead : Yeah !
Back up : Thats how it Goes ...
Lead : Why ?
Back up : a' Said dey Livin in a Ghetto !
Lead : Yeah !
Back up : Thats how it Goes ...
Lead : Life Being Broke,
Lead & Back up : Livin in a Ghetto .
