Ghetto
Garbage streets, little kids playing
With crack pipes and toy cars.
Robberies, who to protect the
Children, their parents at the bar?
The influence of drugs
Among every corner you walk.
Turn on the wrong block your
Erased like a black board full of chalk.
Red bandannas Blue bandannas
Youngsters think gangs are family.
Carry a gun, get arrested,
Now your just another tragedy
News 10 o'clock another teen
Shot. It rings in your ear.
Momma picked up that phone,
It was too devastating to hear.
He was accepted to college,
Be the first out of the ghetto.
Now hes lying in a casket
Plenty more soon to follow.
With crack pipes and toy cars.
Robberies, who to protect the
Children, their parents at the bar?
The influence of drugs
Among every corner you walk.
Turn on the wrong block your
Erased like a black board full of chalk.
Red bandannas Blue bandannas
Youngsters think gangs are family.
Carry a gun, get arrested,
Now your just another tragedy
News 10 o'clock another teen
Shot. It rings in your ear.
Momma picked up that phone,
It was too devastating to hear.
He was accepted to college,
Be the first out of the ghetto.
Now hes lying in a casket
Plenty more soon to follow.
