Soulful Hip-Hop : Ghetto by Akon

admin

quote
Akon出生自非洲西部的陌生国度塞内加尔，七岁时随父亲举家搬到美国的纽泽西，从第三世界进入水泥丛林，Akon始终郁郁寡欢，好在他运动神经发达的本钱让他拿到篮球奖学金，顺利进入大学，无奈就当他意气风发、立志成为职业球员时，不幸摔坏了膝盖。天生反骨的Akon开始在街头讨生活，甚至还因为偷车被逮入狱，三年的苦牢让他彻底洗心革面，决心走上正途，于是Akon透过音乐、用音乐纪录生活，一人身兼词曲创作/制作编曲，推出首张大碟《Trouble》。
Akon特有的骚灵嗓音让每首歌都充满全新生命，不论是轻柔饶舌的歌曲、还是派对劲歌都有自己的风格，就像听到一个最原始的非洲灵魂对你亲声吟诵一段段街头故事。

Ghetto
These streets remind me of quicksand (quicksand)
When your on it you'll keep goin down (goin down)
And there's noone to hold on too
And there's noone to pull you out
You keep on fallin (falling)
And noone can here you callin
So you end up self destructing
On the corner with the tuli on the waist tight just got outta the bing doin stay time
Teeth marks on my back from the canine
Dark Memories of when there was no sunshine
Cause they said that I wouldn't make it
(I remember like yesterday)
Holdin on to what god gave me
[chorus]
Cause thats the life when ur
Living in the (ghetto)and
Eating in the (ghetto)or
Sleeping in the (ghetto) (ghetto)
Cause thats the life when ur
Living in the (ghetto)and
Eating in the (ghetto)or
Sleeping in the (ghetto, ghetto, ghetto)
[verse two]
No need to cherish luxuries (cause everythin' come and go)
Even the life that you have is borrowed
(Cause your not promised tomorrow)
So life your life as if everydays' gon be your last
Once you move forward can't go back
Best prepare to remove your past
Cause ya gotta be willin to pray
Yea There gotta be (there gotta be) a better way oh
Yea ya gotta be willing to pray
Cause there gotta be (there gotta be) a better day (ay)
Whoever said that this drama would stop today
A lot of niggers dead or locked away
Teenage Women growing up with aids
[chorus]
Cause thats the life when your
Living in the (ghetto) oh
Eating in the (ghetto) or
Sleeping in the (ghetto, ghetto)
Thats the life when ur
Living in the (ghetto)oh
Eating in the (ghetto) or
Sleeping in the (ghetto, ghetto, ghetto)
[bridge]
Gun shots every night in the (ghetto)
Crooked cops on sight in the (ghetto)
Every day is a fight in the (ghetto)
(oh oh oh oh oh) (ghetto)
Got kids to feed in the (ghetto)
Selling coke and weed in the (ghetto)
Every day somebody bleed in the (ghetto)
(oh oh oh oh oh) (ghetto)
[chorus]
Thats the life when your
Living in the (ghetto)oh
Living by the (ghetto)oh
Eating in the (ghetto, ghetto)
Thats the life when your
Living in the (ghetto)oh
Sleeping in the (ghetto)
Living in the (ghetto, ghetto, ghetto)
(wooohhoohh)
