Verse 1
Am
I was born and raised in the ghetto.
I was born and raised in the ghetto.
I'm a woman of the ghetto.
Listen to me, legislator.
Cha -cha -cha -cha -cha -cha -cha.
Cha -cha -cha -cha -cha -cha -cha.
How do you raise your kids in the ghetto?
How do you raise your kids in the ghetto?
Feed one child and starve another
Tell me, tell me, legislator
Now how do you make your
bread in the gale?
How do you make your
bread in the gale?
Break from the souls of the
dead in the ghetto
Tell me, tell me, legislator
Cha -ka -ka -cha -ka -cha -ka -cha
Cha -ka -ka -cha -ka -cha -ka -cha
Gray free, black me
I am the woman of the ghetto
Strong, true, my eyes ain't blue
I am the woman of the ghetto
Now how do you get rid of
rats in the ghetto?
How do you get rid of rats
in the ghetto?
Do you make one black and
one white in the ghetto?
Is that your answer, legislator?
Now how do you legislate,
brother, listen to me
How do you legislate, brother,
when you free one man
and try to chain up the other
Tell me, tell me, legislator
How does your heart feel late at night?
How does your heart beat late at night?
Does it beat with shame?
Does it beat with fright?
Won't you tell me, tell me, legislator?
Grape -free, black me,
I am the woman of the ghetto.
Strong or true, my eyes ain't blue,
listen to me legislator.
My children learn just the same as yours
Long as nobody tries to close the doors
They cry with pain when
the knife cuts deep
They close their eyes when
they wanna sleep
We must all have identity
That's the only way we can be free
Now peace, you say, is all that you ask
But self -respect is our severed task
You're sittin' out there
in your ivory tower,
60 stories tall
Now you may have seen one ghetto,
but have you lived there at all?
Places like Trenchtown,
down there Rima,
down there Brixton,
down there Jonestown, down there
Brooklyn, even Hannah
Town, that's where I was born
Sing your voices, sing your voices,
sing your voices
See the children cry, see the children die
Sing your voices, sing your voices,
sing your voices,
sing your voices.
Gang, gang, gang, gang, gang, gang...
