Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me?

from Coolio (Ft. LV) – Gangsta's Paradise Lyrics on Rap Genius

By hustling in the ghetto, they are only hurting themselves by their actions and wrong decisions made. Whether they kill, cheat or steal, the consequences will eventually catch up with them. Because they KEEP spending time in the ghetto, they are blind to this fact.
