Lyrics

At many cases times were hard/pockets low/pops is gone/moms will cry/boy just died/I dealt with the lifestyle/felt with the lights out/to my father up above my knees I vow/pain was my nemesis/way of feeling good/was turning on my genesis/play a game or two/afternoon call my boo/ask her what she going through/why me through her parents never got approve/I had to taste the bitterness/the anger in my soul/that the young ladies now days/is considered hoes /supposedly reality/because of society/we now in this deep dark hole/walk with me/everything was hard/from the school to the park/day by day/breath by breath/think or not/their blazing shots/ we cant stop it/cant drop it/little kids from five to eighteen/getting knocked in/thinking there life is made up/smoking weed/drinking forties/getting blazed up/fourteen to fifteen getting caked up/lifestyle made our mind buck wild/from school suspension paroles and trials/

chorus
ghetto take a look around
see the frown on the children today
did they guarantee that their
life would be like it was on yesterday
see we come too far
to go to war and give it all away
ghetto child get up child
it's time for us all to pray

vers 2
I?m not surprise at my people why they do what they do/even the teachers don?t even care about the youth/they turn their back on us raise the flag cause of us/we fought the wars build the cars/during the harvest reap the green/we even lost our self-esteem/but is alright/we still work as a team/from the river to the stream/everyone has a bursting dream/try to make it out the way with out no bricks involved/mama told me when you look to sky/you realize/there is no limit to the things dream/anywhere you strive don?t forget/that the one that made happen/was the lord up above/we got eat, breath, sleep ghetto/

chorus

Verse3
Pass the pen pass the pad/my soul is hurt/just like Kirk/simply from the way things are/always on the corner/like knees with some shin gards I seen that/forty-one hate symbols/we seen it all/but that they ignore/and they ask us/why we kicking doors/is all politics, its all dominance, economics/Martin said it/Malcolm said it/Abraham, Moses and then Jesus/wow is me/

channel
sometimes we define
our lifes in the middle
of tragedies and mystorys
and the things that we
wanna be
so we try to deny
all the feeling deep
inside but somebody
gonna cry

stand
stand to make a diffrents
stand
stand to make a diffrents
if you want to make a diffrents
stand

repeat out
