Walking through these streets of concrete
Where the hustle's hard and the struggle's steep
Gotta fight to survive in this concrete jungle
Where pain and poverty make you stumble (yeah)
Born and raised where it's wild and raw
Where dreams are shattered and hope is small
But we rise up, shining through the dark
Turning pain into power, making our mark (oooh-yeah)
In the ghetto, we stay strong (stay strong)
In the struggle, we belong (we belong)
Through the fire, we find our way
In the streets of concrete, we gonna slay (ooh-yeah)
In the city, where the dreams are made
Every corner, a different shade
From the projects to the alleyways
We navigate the streets, no matter what they say
Through the struggle, we rise above
The pain and the hardships, we push and shove
In the ghetto, we find our strength
In the hustle and bustle, we'll go to any length
In the ghetto, we stay strong (stay strong)
In the struggle, we belong (we belong)
Through the fire, we find our way
In the streets of concrete, we gonna slay (ooh-yeah)
Walking through the city, on these streets of concrete (concrete)
We rise, we fall, but we never accept defeat (never)
In the ghetto, we stay strong (stay strong)
In the struggle, we belong (we belong)
Through the fire, we find our way (find our way)
In the darkness, we see the light of day (light of day)
No matter what they say, we won't sway
On these streets of concrete, we gonna slay (ooh-yeah)
In the ghetto, we stay strong (stay strong)
In the struggle, we belong (we belong)
Through the fire, we find our way
In the streets of concrete, we gonna slay (ooh-yeah)
