Living in the ghetto you've got to be bold
Facing those faces that are made out of stones
With hearts that don't beat because they're very cold
The ghetto story is about many dogs with just one bone
Too many questions must never be asks
minding your own business should be your ultimate task
With dogs of steel barking by faces behind dark masks
Bodies hitting concrete with breath that can't last
Foods are limited so you've to go & hustle for the bread
Rising very early no time to make up the bed
Loud speaker thumping numbing the pains in the head
Bodies gyrating like the night of the living dead
Sitting on sidewalks with gutter stenched with feaces
Watching people lives shattering to pieces
Plagued by desperation a recipe for diseases
Hungry stomachs growing & producing angry faces
Central & local governances do have a disconnection
Producing lives of crimes with brains on limited education
A 10' x 10' cell apartment is there grilled-up accommodation
With toughed-up queers ready for flirtations
"Crab inna barrel" syndrome is the real ghetto story
And if you're lucky to "ghet-out" you'll received some glory
But if not your story will continued to be scary
With either a permanent visit to a prison or the cemetery.
