and downtown you dont know who you’re gonna meet
so near the end of the day
i went to circle k
and this guy with his boos
begged me to choose
to give or to keep
so i could consciously sleep
i coughed up some change
and he started acting strange
he broke out song and asked me to sing a long
i told him I had to go and then he sang his solo
aint no love in the ghetto
just people with threats
i said there aint no love in the ghetto
just me and my regrets
at first i tried to ignore him
but then everything else grew dim
i gave him the cold shoulder
turned back to start my motor
he could care less if i was listening
cause i wasnt the first of his dismissing
suddenly i realized
i needed to apologize
so i gave him my attention
and he showed me appreciation
he continued his singing
i felt my eyes start tearing
as he sang....
aint no love in the ghetto
just people with threats
i said there aint no love in the ghetto
just me and my regrets
his words were so deep
that they started to creep
deep into my soul
i never noticed this hole
theres people dying out there
and we all need to care
cause right now there..
Aint no love in the ghetto.
just people with threats
i said there aint no love in the ghetto
just me and my regrets
aint no love, aint no love, aint no love
