Grits - Ghetto Love lyrics
[Grits - Ghetto Love lyrics]
In my eyes
Not enough trying to find love in the ghetto
I don't understand why so
Many people always try
To say the ghetto is so bad
You know what I'm saying?
It's not the ghetto that's bad
But, it's the people that's in the
Ghetto that make the ghetto bad
There's so many foundational lessons to
Be learned in the ghetto
Even spiritual lessons
I guess it's best described like
Thisyou know what I'm saying?
As a child, I despised and prayed to get away
Deprived of early riches
Deceived by evil gang
Grew blind over the years
Saw crime as escape
Participation of your innocence taken
Contemplated due to the situation
My time in your presence was limited
By parental discretion of living standards
My Gladys - case was packing at night, to
Leave the pit's in route to Douglas, Georgia
On the midnight train
While the same circumstances made
My people maintain, never complain
Sporting women gave our name ghetto fame
Sustained foundational lessons of life
That I obtained
Though tribulations and trials came
Wisdom in everything
By the guidance on the Lord and his Spirit
Through my Brahma
Believing in his provision when living
Deliver drama, still the saga continues
In inner-cites 'cross the nation
As hatred is created
From residential placement
Everybody want to blame her
'cause their pride ain't the same
As they was when
The protested she was last in the game
See, the pain that she inflicts is
Lost respect of the past
When it was rude to never speak
Or walk across other's grass
Hustle neighbours just to take out
Their trash, rake leaves
Or washing cars instead of bawling for cash
Hurt the penal soul government
Supplication's a curse put in reverse
Producing people who despise it's worth
Since my birth
I been exposed to many cultures of Earth
But none have left impression like
Perfection of the ghetto
If you can understand what I'm saying there
You with me yo, Phoebe
I see beneath the grief as crime increase
My mind release sorrow on this in peace
Left behind for tomorrow like ancient Greek
I seek along the street filling with horror
Like a faucet, we leak
Some say we lost it in the street
The man above see the
Tragedy beneath the glow
Imagine me with no capacity
For ghetto love idol
Rappily enforce for a better source
Throughout the south, east, west
And the north
I suggest we come forth with Grit's
To rectify our crucial conflict
Connect the wire fulltime, it's mine to split
But don't forget: all through
The terrorism, vandalism, there's wisdom
But all you hear is
Negatism and their criticism
If we reconstruct the mind of the blind
So let the untold unfold ghetto love in bold
See, a place I never let go
Is the ghetto that inherited
The R pope be scared of it, and don't know
And we can transfer from a blur
Vision endure and make the right decision
Happiness will occur, we'll be a team
At home in Douglas Ga, my ghetto love
My ghetto stay in my heart 'til my dying day
I pray ghetto love
Not enough trying to find love in the ghetto
I don't understand why so
Many people always try
To say the ghetto is so bad
You know what I'm saying?
It's not the ghetto that's bad
But, it's the people that's in the
Ghetto that make the ghetto bad
There's so many foundational lessons to
Be learned in the ghetto
