walking amongst the ghetto smells
of urine, faeces and fat musty butts
each block is an array of vacant lots
that's filled with more glass than grass
burned abandoned buildings are a plenty
that's how fast the fire dept comes
hanging out rolling bones at the store
what they hit for? no dough no needs to know
if it takes a whole village to raise a child
i see ya village and raise ya a ghetto or two
when your born here (ghetto) it does not let go
cost of living's high and the selcetion is few
better go with the flow or it will drown you
two job workin' mamma done turned into a granny
yeah sonny boy's been in some girl's panties
when i get mail it's always from Mr. William
Mr. William? oh my bad you must call him Bill
why he always final noticing my azz anyway
if i ain't have it on the 1st now how I'm ganna pay
the corner serves as our news area gossip station
man the police done shot another kid the othernight
one day, one day lord we gonna make this thing right
