G.H.E.T.T.O.

la la la la..
Ghetto is a state of mind
Ghetto is the peace you find
Does`t matter who you are
Only thing that matters
is where you end up
Ghetto is a state of mind
Ghetto is a place inside
Does`t matter where you`re from
Only thing that matters
is where you end up
A child is born tenement slum
He may be poor
but never was dumb
His clothes are worn
shoes and feet are shined and clean
but nothin` to eat
He grew a man
head held high
Wrote a book and won the Nobel Prize
where you are
does not depend on
Where you`re goin
or where you `ve been ,cause...
Ghetto is a state of mind
Ghetto is the peace you find
Does`t matter who you are
Only thing that matters
is where you end up
Ghetto is a state of mind
Ghetto is a place inside
Does`t matter where you`re from
Only thing that matters
is where you end up
A baby`s born
high on the hill
with a silver spoon
and a free will
Plant the garden
and sow the seeds
There`ll be flowers
but there will be weeds
Grew a man
head held bent
Broke the law
and away he went
Where you are
does not depend on
Where you`re goin`
or where you`ve been,cause...
la la la la..
Broken glass
children smokin` fast
A ghetto education
don`t mean there`s no class
We know fast what life is
Gang ways could be the path to righteousness
A blackbird flew from
where we come from
She was always told
she wasn`t gon` be nuttin`
Now we hug her like the shero that she is
Now she brings dreams back
to impact the kids
In the ghetto there is poverty
but ain`t no stoppin` me
We gon` keep building
cause we are God`s property
Greatness even though there`s oppression
The beauty of the ghetto`s the essence
la la la la
Webster's defines the word ghetto as the poorest part of
any city In which a particular group lives , with limited opportunity
A crowded urban district, confined by poverty or prejudice
To me GHET T.O. stands for
Greatness Happens Even Though There's Oppression
Ghetto is a state of mind
Ghetto is the peace you find
Does`t matter who you are
Only thing that matters
is where you end up
Ghetto is a state of mind
Ghetto is a place inside
Does` t matter where you`re from
Only thing that matters
is where you end up
Ghetto is a state of mind
Ghetto is the peace you find
Greatness even though there`s oppression
The beauty of the ghetto`s the essence
Greatness even though there`s oppression
The beauty of the ghetto`s the essence
Greatness even though there`s oppression
The beauty of the ghetto`s the essence
