Lyrics No Smiles In The Ghetto - Wisdom In Chains

No Smiles In The Ghetto

He was burn to a world of pain
Left on a doorstep out in the rain
The first of 7 kids starving in the hood
He never met his dad and his mom was no good
The neighborhood swallowed up many soul
It’s hard growing old in a world so cold
But the world keeps turning
The smart keep learning the strong survive and hit the ground running
Woah, Another survivor from the bowels of the ghetto
I didn’t know he barely made it alive
That’s why he said «Son, we gotta get out of here, there’s no smile in the
ghetto»
He only wanted to give my family a life.
that’s my father
His mother married a child molester
Told me I was a son of a bitch
He brought an whole new level of fear
Drugs and rape and shit you don’t wanna know
So He grew up fighting everyday
A futile attempt to protect his family
My dad’s a rock and I know why.
I never saw him break and I never saw him cry
Woah Another survivor from the bowels of the ghetto
I didn’t know he barely made it alive
That’s why he said «Son, we gotta get out of here, there’s no smile in the
ghetto»
He only wanted to give my family a life.
that’s my father
What more could I want to be than a man who would die for his family
