wisdom in chains – no smiles in the ghetto lyrics
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 b-tch.
he brought an whole new level of fear.
drugs and rape and sh-t 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
