Ghettoland

There's a place you pay On these streets And sometimes it's high Like the cost of dope In order to kill whatever That not right Whatever that's deep in you And cleans out what Castor Oil only does inside The body But baby it sho'nuff Will that's in the mind If the demons are there They'll feel it too. Welcome to Ghettoland Where dope runs freely But for a price you pay And pay dearly my friend. Ghettoland--- Where your life out there Is win, lose or die! Chances are You'll either lose or die You'll sho'nuff die! Ghettoland--- Where the hustlers hustle By any means And I mean any MEANS! This is the place where Street people call home away From the home, they came from And street girls slinging pootang You know What's between their legs In order to between the sheet or under a house or Some alleyway to turn a trick. Ghettoland--- Where Baby Mama's look for their Baby daddy in order to get that Child support And support that child they left. Welcome to Ghettoland---- Where you'll see burned out buildings Just remaining reminders of What was then and what is NOW! Welcome to the "New Frontier" Of an old idea Welcome to Ghettoland!!!!!!!
