Ghettoway Car Lyrics

I wasn't born for this drab city life
Never gonna work from 9 to 5
A voice telling me deep inside
I don't belong to this world of suit and tie
Who lives only for bread and circuses
I need more than just MTV
There ain't no future of any kind
`Cuz we ain't got a one-way ticket to ride

We got to GETAWAY from the GHETTOWAY CAR
I got to GETAWAY from the GHETTOWAY CAR
I got to GETAWAY from the GHETTOWAY CAR
I got to gotta gotta gotta GETAWAY!

They try to get you dead or alive
I wouldn't sell my soul for a dime
I need a chance that never get
Still got in me some self-respect
Mr. Corruption rules the City of Sin
Born to lose but I never give in
You better act on my advice
Fuck that one-way ticket you ride

[chorus]

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
