In the Ghetto - song lyrics

Ghetto

Nobody's smilin'

The ghetto

Nobody's smilin'

Ain't gonna keep rottin' in hell

Nobody's smilin'

Ghetto

Nobody's smilin'

The ghetto

Nobody's smilin'

Ghetto
The ghetto

Nobody's smilin'

Ghetto
Ain't gonna keep rottin' in hell

Nobody's smilin'

Ghetto
Ain't gonna keep rottin' in hell

Planet Earth, was my place of birth
Born to be the sole controller, of the universe
Besides the part of the map I hit first
Any environment I can adapt, when it gets worst
The rough gets goin', the goin' gets rough
When I start flowin', the mic might bust
The next state'll shake from the power I generate
People in Cali used to think it was earthquakes
'Cause times was hard on the Boulevard
So I bogart, and never get scarred, I'm god

But it seems like I'm locked in hell
Lookin' over the edge, but the R never fell
Or tripped or slipped, 'cause my Nikes got grip
Stand on my own two feet and come equipped
Any stage I'm seen on, or mic I fiend on
I stand alone and need nothin' to lean on
Goin' for self, wit' a long way to go
So much to say, but I still flow slow
I come correct and I won't look back
'Cause it ain't where you're from, it's where ya at
Even the

Ghetto

Nobody's smilin'

The ghetto

Nobody's smilin'

Ghetto
Ain't gonna keep rottin' in hell

Nobody's smilin'

I learn to relax in my room and escape from New York
And return through the womb of the world as a thought
Thinkin' how hard it was to be born
Me bein' cream, wit' no physical form
Millions of cells wit' one destination
To reach the best part, as life's creation
9 months later, a job well done
Make way, 'cause here I come

Since I made it this far, can't stop now
There's a will and a way and I got the know-how
To be all I can be and more
And see all there is to see before
I'm called to go back to the essence
It's a lot to learn so I study my lessons
I thought the ghetto was the worst that could happen to me
I'm glad I listen when my father was rappin' to me

'Cause, back in the days, they lived in caves
Exiled from the original man, and strayed away
Now that's what I call hard times
I'd rather be here to exercise the mind
Then I take a thought around the world twice
From knowledge to born back to knowledge precise
Across the desert, that's hot as the Arabian
But they couldn't cave me in, 'cause I'm the Asian

Reaching for the city of Mecca, visit Medina
Visions of Neffertiti, then I seen her
Mind keeps travelin', I'll be back after I
Stop and think about the brothers and sisters in Africa
Return the thought through the eye of a needle
For miles I fought and I just brought the people

Under the dark skies on a dark side
Not only there but right here's an apartheid
So now is the time for us to react
Take a trip through the mind and when you get back
Understand your third eye seen all of that
It ain't where you're from, it's where ya at
Even the

Ghetto

Nobody's smilin'

The ghetto

Nobody's smilin'
Even the

Ghetto

Nobody's smilin'

The ghetto

Nobody's smilin'

Ghetto
Ain't gonna keep rottin' in hell

Nobody's smilin'

Ghetto
Ain't gonna keep rottin' in hell

Nobody's smilin'

The ghetto

Nobody's smilin'

Ain't gonna keep rottin' in hell

Nobody's smilin'

No more props, I want property, in every borough
Nobody's stoppin' me, because I'm thorough
Rhymes are makin' me real estate, for me to own
Wherever I bless a microphone
007 is back and relaxin'
On point an' reactin', and ready for action
I'm so low key that you might not see me (the ghetto)
Incognito, and takin' it easy (ghetto)

Quiet is kept on a hush hush
In front of a crowd, I get loud as a bum-rush
But calm, keep a low pro, and play the background
Hopin' the wack rapper put the mic back down
So rip it, break it in half, go head and slam it
'Cause when it's time to build, I'm a mechanic
Of bondin' and mendin', attachin' and blendin'
So many solos, there is no endin'

People in my neighborhood, they know I'm good
From London to Hollywood, wherever I stood
Footprints remain on stage ever since
Sidewalks and streets, I leave fossils and dents
When I had sex, I left my name on necks
My trademark was left throughout the projects

I used to get rich when I played Cee-lo
When I rolled 4, 5, 6, they go "we know"
So I collect my cash then slide
I got my back, my gun's on my side
It shouldn't have to be like that
I guess it ain't where you're from, it's where ya at
Even the

Ghetto

Nobody's smilin'

The ghetto

Nobody's smilin'
I'm from the

Ghetto
Ain't gonna keep rottin' in hell

Word up
Nobody's smilin'
Peace

Ghetto

Nobody's smilin'

The ghetto

Nobody's smilin'

Ghetto
Ain't gonna keep rottin' in hell

Nobody's smilin'

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no (in the ghetto)
No, no, no, nobody's smilin'
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no (in the ghetto)
No-bo-dy's smilin'
Ghetto
Ain't gonna keep rottin' in hell
Nobody's smilin'

As the snow flies On a cold and gray Chicago morn A poor little baby child is born In the ghetto (in the ghetto) And his mama cries 'Cause if there's one thing That she don't need It's another little Hungry mouth to feed In the ghetto (in the ghetto) People, don't you understand The child needs a helping hand Or he'll grow to be an Angry young man some day Take a look at you and me Are we too blind to see Or do we simply turn our heads And look the other way Well, the world turns And a hungry little boy With a runny nose Plays in the street As the cold wind blows In the ghetto (in the ghetto) And his hunger burns So he starts to Roam the street at night He learns how to steal And he learns how to fight In the ghetto (in the ghetto) And then one night in desperation A young man breaks away He buys a gun, steals a car Tries to run, but he don't get far And his mama cries As a crowd gathers round An angry young man Face down in the street With a gun in his hand In the ghetto (in the ghetto) And as her young man dies On a cold and grey Chicago morn Another little baby child is born In the ghetto (in the ghetto) And his mama cries (in the ghetto)

This is poetry in motion Try to catch on, stay close to the host And MC's try to make the road rough but I'm coastin Ladies hear the rhymes rub em on like lotion Hit spots soothin, can't stop movin Go ahead bust a sweat and you can bet I'm still coolin When I detain it's a brainstorm Never the same form, every brain I rained on is warm Takin a trip through Memory Lane to Melody See if you could tell if these thoughts to fell MC's Could do you justice, but you can't touch this Some kid just tried to bust this but he just missed I'm universal and much more merciful So versatile with the style it's reversable I get away even if I say a curse or two First, let me bust another verse for you Your arms too short to box with Ra so quit You don't want no kind of conflict Or you'll get stripped as the rhyme is ripped Pick up the pieces now ain't that peace yeah I'm hip Everything I said flows since my intro I plant a thought extend and then grow Holdin my pen tightly it might be Controversy at first when I write the Chords of research don't just take it for granted When I'm gone my mind remains a planet If I keep buildin, and teach the children So when they read in between the lines it's filled in I break to meditate, not a peep, concentrate Till I'm deep awake, but not asleep At the same time risin and advertisin What is true, keep advised and you can stay wise And I'm untouchable Comin over the bridge take a peak at the skyline Cause that's how I shine not only when I rhyme My culture's makin me stronger, mentally Physically I'm powerful poetry now that could be Labelled as art placed in a museum Style'll make scenery, now you see 'em Exhibit a knowledge that's packed and filled with Nothin illiterate it's facts I build with My mind's untouchable which means intangible Contents never dense it's understandable I study life so I can live it the right way No time to hear what another brother might say Why sell a capsule of crack I don't have to I rhyme and sign million dollar contracts to Put message on records that's graced with hard bass Smugglin microphones, this ain't Scarface Whoever talked that talk, I wanna hawk And don't try to Escape From New York Cross a 110th Street lookin for a problem It's Hell Up In Harlem, watch Ra solve em I hear the music clear as I get near The hundred and twenty fifth street Apollo Theater Take a step back when I rap I step up to you... I'm untouchable Put on my thinking cap pump the track Test your reflex relax but in contact You fold and lose control so hold your partner closer You're supposed to keep your composure But you hear the drum said go then it gets so hype It's like nitro opponents get petro Remember the trademark left by the R That's never soft or smooth it's comin off the hardest In effect, you could die-tect the imposter Takin my props, Rakim is still proper I'm a prophet, you can't stop it, when I drop it Everything I say, coincide with the topic Thoughts bounce around till my skull is fractured Inside my brain it's all manufactured As we go deeper it's hard to find Don't even think about it, cause you can't read my mind It's clear so therefore you need a ear or inclined In the mind with some kind of idea for The style I'm advertisin what is true Keep advised that you stay wise and the mind Is untouchable
