Aint No Love Living in the Ghetto by Julian Elvis Lyrics
[Intro]
Money cannot buy
The honor which you have earned tonight
You’ll make us all proud
[Chorus]
Ain’t no love
Livin’ in the ghetto
(No hugs, no kisses)
Ain’t no love
Livin’ in the ghetto
(Dead dreams, empty wishes)
Ain’t no love
Livin’ in the ghetto
(Stained rags, no riches)
Ain’t no love
Livin’ in the ghetto
(One false move and you’ll be swimmin’ with the fishes)
[Verse 1]
Daddy on my own
Tryna build a throne
But nobody wants
To throw an old dog a bone
If it’s death I must embrace
Then [?]
As I run up
And swing a gun up in your place
Bitch give me all your money
My daughter says shе’s hungry
So you better make it fast
Bеfore my hands and face get bloody
It's more than just a stage
Of this day and age
Where we don't just flip the script
We’re tearing out the page
So think about the lies
Strugglin’ to survive
Cussin’ out the cashier
At your local drive
They say we gotta choice
A world without a voice
As long as we stay worthy once
The world will rejoice
Big brother’s always watching
Waiting for our demise
We lay another in the dirt
As a mother cries (mother cries)
[Chorus]
Ain’t no love
Livin’ in the ghetto
(No hugs, no kisses)
Ain’t no love
Livin’ in the ghetto
(Dead dreams, empty wishes)
Ain’t no love
Livin’ in the ghetto
(Stained rags, no riches)
Ain’t no love
Livin’ in the ghetto
(One false move and you’ll be swimmin’ with the fishes)
[Verse 2]
It's more than just a stranger
Who can't control his anger
For when you look into his eyes
You feel a sense of danger
His heart made out of coal
But a childhood they stole
It's not the life I wanna live
But I’ll play the role
So don't make me get mad
Don't let me get pissed
‘Cause I’ll blow you away
With the click of my clip
I’m deep up in this shit
I’m tryna die rich
But everybody knows
That life is a bitch
So I stay up on my crime
Tryin’ to make a dime
So I can tell my baby girl
That everything is fine
But when I look into her eyes
As she begins to cry
I tell her that I gotta leave
She keeps askin’ me why
One day you’ll understand
I am only one man
And in order for me to provide for you
I’ve got to make a stand
[Interlude]
Ain’t no love
Livin’ in the ghetto
(No hugs, no kisses)
Ain’t no love
Livin’ in the ghetto
(Dead dreams, empty wishes)
Ain’t no love
Livin’ in the ghetto
(Stained rags, no riches)
Ain’t no love
Livin’ in the ghetto
(One false move and you’ll be swimmin’ with the fishes)
[Outro]
Whoa, whoa
Oh, oh
Money cannot buy
The honor which you have earned tonight
You’ll make us all proud
[Chorus]
Ain’t no love
Livin’ in the ghetto
(No hugs, no kisses)
Ain’t no love
Livin’ in the ghetto
(Dead dreams, empty wishes)
Ain’t no love
Livin’ in the ghetto
(Stained rags, no riches)
Ain’t no love
Livin’ in the ghetto
(One false move and you’ll be swimmin’ with the fishes)
