Masterpiece Lyrics - Masterpiece - Temptations

Where I was born ev'rything was dull and dingy 

I lived in a place they called "The Inner City" 

Getting ahead was strictly a no no 

'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 

 

Photos 

 

Kids dodging cars for recreation 

Only adds to a mother's frustration 

Break-ins, 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
