In the ghetto we chill!
Over the drain we sit and we don't even care that the water that runs through it smells foul.
sometimes it's cold outside but in our sweaters we hide and if the police doesn't show up, we will sit there until daylight.
Often times we run and hide but after they leave, right back out there we go and we laugh about everything.
The uptown folks wouldn't understand but it's in the street that stars are born.
It's the idle chatter and expletive filled conversations that bringforth the music that we bounce and gyrate to.
Talent is in the ghetto,the boys here have inteligence that's second to none and girls? Wow too intellectual to even compare.
We may not have the world here but the world comes to us as we dream loud.
Our circumstances won't define us.
We will overcome the obstacle call poverty and when we have succeeded we will come right back to the ghetto to live happily.
The wall by the drain will forever be our chill spot so we will sit over it and talk about how far we have come and how much farther we still have to go but it doesn't matter how far life takes us, the ghetto will always be home!
