The Temptations – Masterpiece Lyrics
Artist: The Temptations
Song: Masterpiece
Where I was born ev rything was dull and dingy
I lived in a place they called the inner city
Getting ahead huh was strictly a nono
Cause nobody cares what happens to the folks
That live in the ghetto
Thousands of lives wasting away
People living from day to day
It s a challenge just staying alive
Cause in the ghetto only the strong survive
Money I ain t got none, job can t find one
The streets raised me from a baby, ooh
Thousands of lives wasting away
People living from day to day
It s a challenge just staying alive
Cause in the ghetto only the strong survive
Broken down homes, kids strung out
They don t even know what life s all about
Stealin cars, robbin bars
Mugging drugs, rat infested
And no one s interested
Kids dodging cars for recreation
Only adds to a mother s frustration
Breakings, folks comin home
And finding all their possessions gone
Oh it s an ev ry day thing – well well – in the ghetto
Oh it s an ev ry day thing in the ghetto
