GHETTO
A LIFESTYLE, NOT A PLACE
GHETTO HAS NO GENDER,
ethnic background,
NOR IS IT RACE
NOR IS IT
A CIRCUMSTANTIAL CONDITIONAL STATE OF BEING
OR ACTING A CERTAIN TYPE OF WAY
GHETTO IS CREATIVELY ARTISTIC
GHETTO IS MORE THAN GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE AND PROJECT BUILDINGS
GHETTO IS RESILIENCE
GHETTO IS EDUCATING, WHILE PROPERLY FATHERING OUR CHILDREN
GHETTO IS THE
HUSTLE THROUGH THE
STRUGGLE
MAKING SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING ,WITH MINIMUM OPPORTUNITies GIVEN
GHETTO IS THAT SMELL
COMING OUT OF THAT KITCHEN
GHETTO IS MY GRANDMAMA'S BISCUITS
GHETTO IS NOT DRUGGING
: GHETTO IS LOVING
:GHETTO IS FIVE BOYS BEING RAISED BY A WOMAN
:RAISED TO BE RESPECTFUL YOUNG MEN
and MAKE THEMSELVES INTO SOMETHING
:GHETTO IS EVERY LIFE WORTH SAVING
:GHETTO IS CONFIDENCE AND BEING fearlessly COURAGEOUS
GHETTO IS the BEAUTY in WEARING HAND ME DOWN still FEELING AND LOOKING AMAZING
GHETTO IS KNOWLEDGEABLE
BRILLIANCE
AND SMARTS
IF YOU ASK ME
GHETTO IS GOD'S MODERN DAy NOAH'S ARK
GHETTO IS LIGHT IN THE MIDST OF THE DARK
GHETTO IS BEING THE BEST THAT I CAN
GhETTO IS HIGHSCHOOL DROPOUTS
BECOMING LANDOWNERS
TRADING STOCKS
AND BUYING LANDING
EVEN IF YOU JAMAICaaaAN,
DOMINICAaaN,
MEXICaaAN,
AFRICAaaN,
AMERICAaaN,
It's MY GHETTO MISS THAT SETS ME APART FROM MY FELLOW MAN
I ONCE HEARD SOMEONE say "THAT'S GHETTO"
" YOU TOO GHETTO "
"STOP ACTING GHETTO"
MY REPLY WAS ,
"I CAN'T"
BUT NOT BECAUSE
I'M FROM THE GHETTO
BECAUSE
I AM GHETTO
