Ghetto

Ghetto, ghetto Ghetto created me From infant to adult Ghetto my home I'm old now, i see the truth Ghetto, Ghetto I know who you truly are! And i know who you working for, I'm exposing you! Ghetto full of obstacles from drugs to disease and people living in fear Ghetto a monster, Eating us alive cause we too afraid to fight, Ghetto a bully Taking our launch money, Why don't you pick on someone your own size?.... like the suburb, Why Ghetto? Huh! Why?....We have nothing, Ghetto a prison Let me out, i beg of you, I'm Sentenced for life. Ghetto, Ghetto You go by many names, From the hood to native lands You mad cause I'm exposing you, Ghetto a serial killer Look how many lives you have murdered Ghetto a maze and you will never find a way out, just going in circles all around, Ghetto a liar, deceived us and made us fight with one another, Ghetto a weapon of mass destruction From gangsterizm to no sanitation, Babies on the streets fed poison, Ghetto evil, ruining the youth Ghetto why are you so cruel? Ghetto i know who you working for I know who manipulates you, Ghetto I'm a warrior but i won't fight my people, I see through that illusion, Ghetto I'm going to defeat you! I'll be a hero, Not the idolized version Like the ones you working for, Who gave us false ideas Who left us to die, Ghetto you hell, look at what you have done to the people, They soulless, no spirit to fight No hope just gazing at death like they hope to die, partying like its their last time Ghetto! ghetto! How you corner the teens than you take their life away Ghetto you go to go! I stand for the new generation I'll break through the barriers Cause I'm a ghetto warrior.
