Ghetto, funny thing about it,

most people when they think
they seem to think about
the worst of the worst.
Dm
Gm
But let me tell you something,
the best of the best
that came up out of the hood.
F
Gm
To all my people that still there,
especially the children,
F
Dm
Gm
I feel like God gave each of us something
that we can do just as good or better
F
Gm
than anybody in the world
and get paid at doing it.
You just got to figure out what your gift is
F
Gm
F
Gm
and apply yourself. Hell,
F
Gm

We try hard to stay in love, yeah
Mama checkin' in my
room but I'm gone
Cause I'm feelin' safer on the streets
F
but she still greets me with a slap
Gm
I gotta get my own place
F
Gm
before she makes me snap
I'm gettin' mine,
tryin' to beat the system blue
Committin' crimes, hell,
Gm
Mnemonic depressive states,
a constant reoccurrence
I'm tryin' to communicate
Gm
Mentally and physically
F
Gm
scarred my ass, ace
So I take it out on neighborhood

Cut to resolve conflict with my fists
and deadly tools
Dm
Gm
But get abused when I bring home youth

Gm
F
A ghetto soldier, ghetto livin'

Ghetto twins Willie D
F
Gm
Puttin' it down from N .O. to H -Town
The ghetto
F
You one thing I used to wonder
F
Gm
is why the trains always stop on the tracks
in the hood for hours at a time.
F
Gm
And I finally figured it out.
Dm
Gm
They figure we ain't got nowhere to go.
Or we ain't going nowhere.
F
Gm
Oh, and if there's any
police out there listening,
let me talk to y 'all head
up for one moment.
Why is it that y 'all find a need
Gm
to harass the poor and dis
F
enfranchised?
F
Why y 'all go to rich neighborhoods
Gm
and write tickets to the people
F
Gm
who can't afford them?
F
And why is it that y 'all always
and asking them
is everything okay?
When you see a brother
F
walking down the street
Gm
or sitting on his own porch
minding his own business,
I finally figured that out to y 'all haters
