Akon's achin' ghetto

If you ever wondered why God loves inner city kids, check out the (cheesey pun alert!) aching song Ghetto by hip hop/R&B singer Akon. An immigrant to NJ from Senegal, he was ensnared by the streets until a jail stint forced him to concentrate on his music. A lyrical sample follows:

These streets remind me of quicksand (quicksand) When your [sic] on it you'll keep goin down (goin down) And there's noone to hold on too [sic] 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
