Hero of the Ghetto

The hero of the ghetto comes into veiw as a mother who had a new born baby
Who finds out rents do and the daddy fled and left you to lay in your bed alone
 and he gave you a heart of stone knowing you have to be strong for your own self
 and the seed of a man who said he would take care of you needs
 but indeed he ran off to be free and now you have to feed the baby and provide its needs
