antwon vinnie - slums lyrics

[chorus]
i don’t wanna live in the ghetto anymore
i don’t want to live by a liquor store
i don’t want to live in the ghetto anymore
i don’t want to live by a liquor store

i said i don’t wanna live in the ghetto anymore
i don’t want to live by a liquor store
i don’t want to live in the ghetto anymore
i don’t want to live by a liquor store

[verse 1]
a state of mind forever frozen in time
remnants of a racist paradigm are still alive far from decline
home to those alone with dreams forgotten and lost
fighting for survival but, at what cost?
can barely afford to eat, never own only lease
a home where there are dead bodies outside on the street
i wish i had someone with which to share my emotions
but my only friends are the roaches. d+mn

[pre chorus 1]
all this homelessness bums me out
dogs barking from gunshots all around
how can i take pride in the place i reside
when all i see are heaps of trash on the curbside
(don’t wanna live! don’t wanna live!)
i feel like i don’t exist
i feel worthless depressed and a mess at best
i don’t want to be another birdie who fell out the nest
who the ghetto will ingest
[chorus]
i said i don’t wanna live in the ghetto anymore
i don’t want to live by a liquor store
i don’t want to live in the ghetto anymore
i don’t want to live by a liquor store

[verse 2]
i miss my father the one who raised me
but he was stolen from me by a crazy meth head and lately
i’ve been seeing a lot of his tendencies in my actions
sometimes i think maybe i never had him
cause i get so ecstatically angry when a man abandons their own kin
and i’m not talking about myself for once
i’m talking bout the ones that i share blood who were robbed of two parents
which robbed me of two siblings

[pre chorus 2]
how much time do i have left
before i’m burnt out, despondent from the endless stress
we work harder but we get less, it’s life i guess
collective feelings of a people supressed
(don’t wanna live! don’t wanna live!)
this is where dreams go to die
it’s hard to be happy when everything around makes me cry
i want to succeed and it feels like
maybe i can if i try
[chorus]
i said i don’t wanna live in the ghetto anymore
i don’t want to live by a liquor store
i don’t want to live in the ghetto anymore
i said i don’t want to live by a liquor store!
yeah!

[outro]
but it’ll all be worth it someday
i just wish i could say, that, i wasn’t used to this life
