Ghetto: Misfortune's Wealth |
| Poor struggles are sad, 'cause being poor is bad |
| Poor people are tired, tired, tired of trying to make due |
| God’s glory is glad, no more will poor be had |
| They’ve been inspired, inspired, inspired to break through |
| (Ghetto!) Call it misfortune’s wealth (In the ghetto) |
| (Ghetto!) Everybody’s gettin' fat but the poor man (In the ghetto) |
| (Ghetto!) Oh ain’t gonna keep rottin' in hell (In the ghetto) |
| (Ghetto!) Can’t stand for that, I’m leaving soon as I can (In the ghetto) |
| (Ghetto! In the ghetto) |
| (Ghetto! In the ghetto) |
| I’m findin' strength each and every day |
| I don’t mind the length I go to find a way |
| Pullin' up on my bootstrap, got to step right on |
| Ain’t sittin' on welfare’s lap no more, got to push on |
| (Ghetto!) Call it misfortune’s wealth (In the ghetto) |
| (Ghetto!) Everybody’s gettin' fat but the poor man (In the ghetto) |
| (Ghetto!) Oh ain’t gonna keep rottin' in hell (In the ghetto) |
| (Ghetto!) Can’t stand for that, I’m leaving soon as I can (In the ghetto) |
| (Ghetto! In the ghetto) |
| (Ghetto! In the ghetto) |
| (Ghetto!) Pullin' up on my bootstrap, got to step right on (In the ghetto) |
| (Ghetto!) Ain’t sittin' on welfare’s lap no more, got to push on (In the ghetto) |
| (Ghetto!) Oh call it misfortune’s wealth (In the ghetto) |
| (Ghetto!) Everybody’s gettin' fat but the poor man (In the ghetto) |
| (Ghetto!) Oh ain’t gonna keep rottin' in hell (In the ghetto) |
| (Ghetto!) Can’t stand for that, I’m leaving soon as I can (In the ghetto) |
| (Ghetto! In the ghetto) |
| (Ghetto! In the ghetto) |
| (Ghetto! In the ghetto) |
| (Ghetto! In the ghetto) |
| (Ghetto! In the ghetto) |
