Ghetto |
| I’m from the ghetto where kids don’t play |
| From the land where they use slang you won’t say |
| City of gangstas and brotherly love |
| City of hustlers and suffering thugs |
| But there’s a sign of life in our youth |
| They look up to the things we do |
| Teach them to love and we can’t lose |
| Help them to find the right path to choose |
| Every day there’s a struggle here |
| Life’s a crack house socked in tears |
| Church a packed house covered in fear |
| God love reigns down on His children |
| And everyday a life is thrown away |
| When everyday there’s a life to gain |
| Christ accepts all sinners the same |
| Men and women just reaching for change |
| I’m from the ghetto, I’m from the gutter where it all goes down |
| And in the ghetto is where the Most High change me around |
| We’ve been praying and I think we see now |
| We’re gonna make it, we’re gonna make it |
| I’m from the ghetto where stars are born |
| Record deals no sales leave young men scorned |
| Little women with big women bodies make them feel grown |
| You cast the first stone |
| Seventeen of the grind a formality |
| Cutting school smoking weed a reality |
| Little babies having babies it’s so sad to see |
| Men and women of the church are taking back the streets |
| I’m from the ghetto, I’m from the gutter where it all goes down |
| And in the ghetto is where the Most High change me around |
| We’ve been praying and I think we see now |
| We’re gonna make it, we’re gonna make it |
| I’m from the ghetto where guns are used by |
| Little ones that are often abused |
| 20/20's Badlands the news consist of thugs |
| But Christians live here too, let’s change |
| I’m from the ghetto, I’m from the gutter where it all goes down |
| And in the ghetto is where the Most High change me around |
| We’ve been praying and I think we see now |
| We’re gonna make it, we’re gonna make it |
| If I ever make it out the hood congratulate me |
| Lately I’ve been feeling like I’m trapped here |
| Last year feels like the other day |
| And another day goes by but it’s the same thing |
| What can I do different, how can I make a change? |
| Feels like a deja vu but still I maintain |
| Feels like I paid my dues when I was eighteen |
| Would my music appeal to you if I was mainstream? |
