fm duke - ghetto lyrics

the state of the black man in america is a travesty, we shouldn’t be living how we living;
got us caged up in penitentiaries, our youth headed for nowhere;
school systems no budget and they wanna pack us in these d+mn ghettos, how are we supposed to live would you please tell me;

i grew up in the ghetto i seen a single baby mother, who tried to work so the 8 roll watched dey baby brother;
named shane he was 3 and saw dey parents f+cking, now he in the house tryna grind on his older sister;
but he ain’t no better he was just a ghetto child, living the life of a hoodlum since he got older now;
at 14 his dad left and wouldn’t hold him down, his mom was strung out on crack and didn’t come around;
now he gotta live his life in the ghetto, watchin’ prostitutes walk around in pumps and stelettos;
he had to get money to put clothes on his back, so he asked a guy name rob to front him a pack;
and there it was now he was wrapped up in the game, but clueless about the streets man he’s just needed some change;
shane ain’t know about mossburg pumps, until one day he got robbed and was shot by one man dis the ghetto

d+mn guns, drugs, violence, all engulf our community;
but n0body, n0body will stand up and show the single problem in the black community;
we are down trodden, don’t wanna work, we have no strive;
we love to live at the bottom, i ain’t never met n0body who love to live at the bottom;

now this a story ‘bout a girl named jessica (who), who had a low self+esteem cause n0body messed with her;
they used to always talk about her dreads, so the only way she reached pleasure was opening her legs;
at 13 jessica lost her virginity, letting people crawl right in her like centipedes;
she ain’t worry bout getting infected by a disease, so she ain’t use protection like condoms was enemies;
jessica ran the streets so she dropped out of school, just because she wanted to run around town with a dude;
named james the rumor was that james had aids, jessica heard about it and had s+x with him anyway;
she forgot about the rumor and went back to school, and found out dat the rumor bout james was true;
then she started to feel ill herself, so wit a baby inside her jessica k!lled herself man dis the ghetto

wow i ask myself when will we stand up, when will we come together as one single people and stand up for self;
preach the truth love of the black community, love of the black man and woman, love love the black children, love of mind, self, body and peace;

growing up in the streets where it ain’t nothing but life in the fast lane, my homies dat g+ngb+ng fell off in the dope game;
but see dat all lead to the same place, it’s kinda sad that he died all i can do is remember his face;
got tooken out cause of da dope game, when all he wanted was to hang an off the caine make a little change;
but see that ended in the worst way, it’s kinda sad that the glory done took the life of my friend to pay;
i seen him ride off in a black hurst, and see my man never thought that it would ever be his life first;
he had a squabble with the grimm reaper, and took a round to his chest and now the story’s steady getting deeper;
they said it fell behind the dope game, it’s kinda funny when it’s black it’s automatically a crack thang;
and i ain’t even gotta wonder why, cause to the cops it ain’t nathan that’s why i hate to see my brothers die da ghetto

oh my people it is time, i say again it is time;
to stand up and preach the truth, to teach everyone
from barack obama, to the 5% nation of islam, to the fruits of islam, to the 85’ers;
this is real, the future of america is the black man
