音乐咖啡厅:Akon - Ghetto
相关介绍：年青的r&b歌手akon出生在塞内加尔，他的父亲是一位著名的美洲爵士打击乐歌手，七岁时随家人移居美国新泽西。以前曾经进过监狱，但后来他决心摆脱这一切，转向音乐。在akon的生活中充满了挣扎、奋斗与机遇，他的首张专辑《trouble》的名字正反映了他的这种状况。akon接受了许多不同的音乐元素，包括hip-hop还有他的非洲风格，这张专辑反映了黑人灵魂歌曲中的那种坚韧不拔。专辑中的第一首歌“locked up”，由akon和styles p.合作演唱。这首歌旋律流畅，带有饶舌风格，非常适合akon那迷人高亢，略带非洲口音的嗓音。这首单曲曾在美国billboard单曲排行榜中排名第八。
歌词：
Song：Ghetto
Artist：Akon
Ghetto, Ghetto, Ghetto, Ghetto we livin
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
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)
No need to cherish luxuries
(cause everythin' come and go)
Even the life that you have is borrowed
(Cause your not promised tomorrow)
So live 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
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)
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)
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
