"Ghetto" is the title of a 2005 single by R&B singer Akon. It reached No. 92 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; one featuring 2Pac and The Notorious B.I.G.; and one with lyrics of 2pac's original ghetto gospel.
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.
