Ghetto of the Mind...
I catch a body at a party, sort of herbal with the verbal Look above and see the vultures fly around in a circle Baggin` while you`re lollygaggin`, raggin`, tow-taggin` Assassin with the millimeter roars of a dragon
Here stood the black hood, thirsty for the end And for the love of money, kind of funny, new friends Public housing, a thousand in a tent So I`m forced to sell hell just to pay the rent
Killin` my own people, I put `em out of order Just like the liquor store scene on every corner I`m tryin` but the kids keep cryin`, and the bullets keep flyin` Look, a boy, he`s on the curb just dyin` Finally the cops come dumb to the slum Pull out a gun and arrest the wrong one Wax all the Puerto Ricans and blacks So they can never relax I dwell, might as well learn the facts Pete Rock and C.L. can radio a shack up Sparkin` off and have `em all callin` for backup "Watch another crime and you`re gonna do time" All this you`ll find in the ghettos of the mind
Ain`t that somethin`?...
Listen to cats and rough rats war under the window When the ghetto forts flarey, never was a Tom and Jerry Livin` ain`t cheap, my survival is deep In this part of town where the city never sleep A Barney Miller roller, you can bet the car`s stolen Or static with your BM, only when you see them Speakin` on your baby`s mom, a best for the drama Always tryin` to make a movie, little stark-ravin` looney Stressin` it, but you know the ghetto keep ya busy A place that when I die it would never even miss me Crack phials in the aisles as one pimp smiles Dope piles workin` hookers by the miles But still my pop`s got three jobs to stable A family household and food on the table So as we pray for all our souls to keep Somebody`s on the project roof, ready to leap I want to stop the pain or the bad situation But backwards wisdom I can`t afford to give `em Self savior is much braver with the conscious behavior Designed in the ghettos of the mind
Ain`t that somethin`? C`mon...
It`s like that y`all...
I could never look forward to an early retirement But still I maintain in a hostile environment Hustlin` the concrete jungle for loot My parents hated blood money so they gave me the boot Take a risk `cause the peer pressure has the edge It was a blessin` when I saw my life dangle on the ledge The streets coulda swallowed me whole But the pain was all gone when I got to see my healthy son born And now I bring him home to the ghetto, Only to make a stronger fellow Maybe do some good for the neighborhood It`s hard playing hero livin` less than a zero Raging Bull like DeNiro, the modern day pharoah A concentration camp with the Section 8 Welfare checks given at a monthly rate Apply for the get high, or just plain lazy Many steady collect right around the fifth baby The hawk is out but the niggaz never pack it A hundred dollar sneakers with the skimpy-ass jacket When people are deaf, dumb, and blind they get left behind Imagine in the ghettos of the mind
