Masterpiece - Single Version

(Money)
Where I was born, everything was dull and dingy (I ain′t got none, job)
I lived in a place they called "The Inner City" (can't find one)
Getting ahead, huh, was strictly a no-no (the streets raised me from a baby)
′Cause nobody cares what happens to folks that live in the ghetto
Thousand of lives wasting away
People living from day to day
It's a challenge just staying alive
'Cause in the ghetto only the strong survives
Broken down homes, kids strung out
They don′t even know what life′s all about
Stealin' cars, robbin′ bars
Muggin', drugs, rat-infested and no one′s interested
Kids dodgin' cars for recreation
Only adds to a mother′s frustration
Break-ins, folks comin' home and findin' all their possessions gone
Oh, it′s an everyday thing
Well, well, in the ghetto, oh
It′s an everyday thing in the ghetto
