- "Ghetto" is a single by Akon. Released in late 2004 and officially in early 2005, it reached No. 90 on the Billboard Hot 100, and is a cut off Akon's debut album Trouble. There are three remixes of this song: An International Remix featuring Ali B & Yes R, two Dutch-Moroccan rap artists (#3 in the Netherlands); one featuring 2Pac and The Notorious B.I.G. (with the lyrics of Everyday Struggle from Ready to Die), and one with lyrics of 2Pac's "Ghetto Gospel" lyrics. There is also another Reggaeton remix with Tego Calderón.
The video was shot in New Jersey
The song's lyrics describe the cycle of poverty experienced by those living in poor, inner-city areas. Additionally, it describes the physical and psychological oppression with which these residents must deal on a regular basis.

As a Navajo Woman I think Akon nailed it!
Thanks for coming to the Rez ❤️
My cousin was in the video.
Thanks for the comments. U have made me to make research and realize that Navajo are one of the native tribes of USA and most found in New Mexico and uta
❤❤❤
That’s awesome!
Yes Akon message was ghettos are everywhere and they don’t have an ethnicity.
White, Asian , Indigenous, black. Doesn’t have a country.
Nothing but love the mighty Navajo Nation!

2024 we are here to still celebrate for good music ❤🤙🏾
"No need to cherish luxury cos everything come and go. Even the life that you have is borrowed, because you are not promised tomorrow"... This line really touched me🤦💯❣️
Back when rap wasn't sex, drugs, money, and cars but actually had a meaning. Such nostalgia, a definite pick-me-up.
Before Dirty South became mainstream
Go listen to some Hopsin or NF, rap has still something to say
Totally agree with you this was when music was made for the love not the money we need these type of music back maybe the world would be a better place
This is not Rap actually but R&B. Akon is among the top R&B artist in 2000's era.
Lol rap has always been sex, money, and murder.
No need to cherish luxuries
‘Cause everything come and go
Even the life that you have is borrowed
‘Cause you're not promised tomorrow
So live your life as if every day is gon' be your last ... Akon for life wit this words....
word
Am still going through this lyf. Oh God save me
Stop trollin
@ Edin Alagic I am with you
Yes u r so rite
This music has always been my motivation when I am down.
When looking at this video, There 're some tears of nostagy falling from my eyes and at the time it gives me hope to struggle in life. Well done, AKON.
Remember listening to this dog with my pops. He use to tell me one day you’ll understand. Well dad I do now. And I miss you
Touching words
I'm so sry for ur loss r.i.p ur dad
Touching man
Hold on my brother
Stay strong!
How many guys still adore the song??😍
Meeee
Love forever
remember me my ghetto
thug life till A Die
Just love the song deep as fuck.
This song never gets old. Shout out to my people who still strive to get what they need. Shout out to my bro in the feds doing a 30 piece. Shout out to my dad doing 13 years and to my two younger nephew's that are in the TDC. We miss y'all. #37
This song deserves more views
Definitely one of his top 3 songs. Never gets old!
+Steven B yeah your right
Nevaaaa
Steven B loving life 😊
U got that right
@@stephenphillipsjr9180 hardly these days no one knows who Steve b is his music rocks
Love how the music video shows that poverty sees no color. We all endure the same struggle in life. This will always be a classic
Unite the colors, we all human. One race one fate.
He hacks the politician propaganda that keep poor people in différent groups on this clip. So smart and brave.
This song is the real definition of life. If you are not in America you won’t understand. The most underrated song in the next 20, 30 years they will value this song more than now.
❤❤❤
U think ghetto just in America. U think all us Brits sit drinking tea wid the queen. Don't kno shit
We have poverty in Britain... If U think it's all tea and cakes and royalty Ur so wrong mate
Its 20 modafucking 23 and we still listenint out here 🔥🔥🔥
Big respect for everyone still in the struggle same shit all over the world
Love and respect from Ireland
Russia is a big ghetto
Fact ^_^
Same to you too bro @Andrew Robinson
Respect from Palestine this kind of songs gives us hope.. be strong
Respect from Houston Texas stay strong boys
Akon, your music touches souls. I miss the old days

Some legendary song right here. If you are watching you are a definition of a legend!!!

I LOVE THIS VIDEO akon takes you to THE GHETTO, THE TRAILER PARK, THE BARRIO and THE RESERVATIONS to show you POVERTY does not DISCRIMINATE
Your comment is so true. Thank you for pointing that out.
Navajo here from the res was such a big hit
This song deserves all time popularity. Too underrated.

Ghetto, ghetto, ghetto, ghetto we livin'
These streets remind me of quicksand
When your on it you'll keep goin' down
And there's no one to hold on too
And there's no one to pull you out you keep on fallin'
And no one can here you callin'
So you end up self destructing
On the corner with the tuli on the waist line
Just got outta the bing doin' state time
Teeth marks on my back from the K9
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 that's the life when your
Living in the
(Ghetto)
And eating in the
(Ghetto)
Or sleeping in the
(Ghetto, ghetto)
That's the life when your
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 everyday's goin' be your last
Once you move forward can't go back
Best prepare to remove your past
'Cause ya gotta be willin' to pray
Yes there gotta be there gotta be a better way
Yes ya gotta be willing to pray
'Cause there gotta be there gotta be a better day
Whoever said that the struggle would stop today
A lot of niggas dead or locked away
Teenage women growin' up with AID's
'Cause that's the life when your
Living in the
(Ghetto)
And eatin' in the
(Ghetto)
Or sleepin' in the
(Ghetto, ghetto)
That's the life when your
Livin' in the
(Ghetto)
And eatin' in the
(Ghetto)
Or sleepin' in the
(Ghetto, ghetto, ghetto)
Gun shots every night in the
(Ghetto)
Crooked cops on sight in the
(Ghetto)
Everyday is a fight in the
(Ghetto)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(Ghetto)
Got kids to feed in the
(Ghetto)
Sellin' coke and weed in the
(Ghetto)
Everyday somebody bleedin' in the
(Ghetto)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

'Cuz that's the life when your
Livin' in the

We livin' by the

This guy was talented. anyone listening to this in 2021
I was searching this song for 10 yrs. Because i've heard this in 2012 on my farthers pen drive. I have searched "ero ero" , ah ah ah.... but finally i searched "you keep going down" ... then i found this song.. 😍😍
This song touches my soul.
Back when akon was dropping bangers. What a song!
I loved this song when i was 9. I haven't listened to it in like 4 years. I miss Akons old music
***** Yea because there's no such thing as poor white people... quit being an a$$hole, you don't have to be a particular race to enjoy good music or understand the message being conveyed.
Paddict227 well sad!
Paddict227
***** Apparently the black community takes pride in being poor & unsuccessful?. . You're a fucking idiot man.
2023
Cause I saw a tweet about the song and had to watch this masterpiece
These songs remain me when I was a drugs addict.

The only difference between the various ghettos, is the scenery, AKON ROCKS.
Who is back here in 2024
10 years old. Can’t believe it. I was young at that time
This dropped in 2004, mate
@@morradi10000 i think he meant that he was 10 when this dropped
@@bloodymeerkat78 he certainly did. Not the first time I’ve tried to act smart, just to fall spectacularly on my big behind!
@@morradi10000 I was 9 then haha
One of his best songs......and no such thing as poor white ppl? I grew up in Brightmoor, straight gutter in Detroit, and all I knew was broke till I worked my way outta there. Still got love and am proud where I came from cuz it pushed me to where I am at now in my life.
Kenny Hassal Honesty is somethin that this up-coming generation lacks.......I'm 31, know a bunch of 20 somthings that want, claim, act like they had it so hard smh, nickolodeian generation.....growin up hard is somethin that I am not gonna have my kids go thru. But thank you sir for the commendation.
Jeff Keon I grew up in the Netherlands. Im totally dutch. But im on my school computer. We dont even have fucking money for a fucking computer. its going better because i can go to school now. BLESS MY BOYS IN THE GHETTO
Ghettos, goin without, havin to do things that you look back on now as an adult that couldve, shouldve put u in prison just to keep your bills paid......i smh at the old me, but Ive grown as an adult and will be damned if I go back to it, but it also is a part of me..........bein without knows no color, nationality, gender etc......
Willem van de Eijnden komt goed, hoe vaak je het ook hoort gewoon werken aan je toekomst en dan kom je er wel!
Jeff Keon yes but since you're white it's easier to get a job, just because you're white.
The first I time heard this song I was in the ghetto scared of my future now God has changed my stories and he's using me to bless others.
Sur la route du lycée à kayes au Mali, je ressentais de la joie à chaque instant sur mon corps. Le plaisir que ce hit procurait en moi était énorme.
2019 we are here from Sénégal 🇸🇳

2015 still bumpin this
+jlucman 2016. soon and its still up! Best song of him! :)
That line "even the Life that you have is borrowed, cause youre not promised tomorrow....." in 2004 I felt that. My neighborhood was locked into a 10 year war with every surrounding area. A lot of people I know are dead, in prison or in a wheelchair. My only way out of that was the Army....crazy huh. God Bless ya'll.
I remembered the beat then searched the song. Men this song is underrated 😩
Its nearly 2024 but still listening this masterpiece
Oooooh oui mon frere
From the Ghetto of Malawi, South East Africa...this was my joint in the mid 2000s
when I heard this at the age of 10 I didn't realize I was living in the ghetto till I joined a gang at 13. till this day I thank God I made it thru those obstacles.
it's 2023 and I'm still on this song 🥺
I’m here in 2022 anyone else listening to this inspiration ❤️
So much love from the Ghetto of Somali.
I have a playlist containing over 24hrs of old-school american Hip-Hop. With basicly every artist to have ever touched this genre.
This song is and will forever be my favourite out of all of them. It doesn't only have a strong lyrics, but it brings a whole unique kind of feeling with it.
This song and the feeling that comes with it doesn't only pass my ears, it runs through my entire body.
Criminally underrated, and WAY ahead of it's time. Thank you AKON.
2023 who's still jamming with this
Dealing with a strangulation charge that was false against my wife. Prayers please yall, I pray everyday for people lile us that grew up in poverty. God is Great !

Akon produced this and his whole album 1 man army, 1 of the realest sickest tracks ever
I think Pete rock produced this track
2021 where you at?!?
Not in the ghetto if you’re watching this video I’ll tell you that much...
Donate a quarter, do your part, if you can’t change a life then at least MAKE a life brighter
2023 who is still jamming this hit 🔥🔥
2023 still a banger. Reminds me when me and my Lil homies used to live n share everything
Lovely .. Akon ☺️
