[Intro 1]
[Bm][D][D][C#aug]
[D]

[Verse 1]
I don't [D]under[E]stand,
[D]why so many people always try to say the ghe[C#aug]tto is so bad.
You [D]know what saying?
It's not the ghetto that's bad,
but it's the people that's in the ghetto that make the ghetto [E]bad.
There's [D]so many foundational lessons to be learned in the ghetto,
even spiritual [C#aug]lessons.
I guess [C#]it's [D]be st described like this,
you know what I'm saying?
[E]As a [D]child, I despised and
prayed to get away
Deprived of early [C#]riches, [C#aug]deceived by evil
gain
Grew [D]blind over the years,
saw crime as escape
Participation of your innocence taken,
contem[E]plated
[D]Due to the situation,
my time in your presence
Was limited by par[C#]ental dis
[C#aug]cretion of living status
[D]My gladdest days was packing at night
To leave the pits en route to
Douglas,
Georgia
on the midnight [E]train while the [D]same
circumstances made my people
maintain never complain
sports and [C#]women [C#aug]gave our
name ghetto fame
sustained [D]foundational lessons
of life that i obtained
through tribulations and trials
came wisdom in everything
[E]by the gui[D]dance of the lord in his spirit
through my grandma believing in his
provision [C#aug]we live and deliver
drama still the [D]saga continues
in inner cities across the nation
as hatred is created
from residential [E]placement everybody want
[D]to blame her because their pride ain't
the same as it was when they
pro[C#]tested [C#aug]she was
See the [D]pain that she inflicts has
lost respect of the past
When it was rude to never speak
or walk across others' grass
[E]Hustle lab[D]ors just to take out their trash
Wreck leaves a washing cost,
in[C#aug]stead of bawling for cash
Her depend[D]ence on government,
supplications, the curse
Put in reverse,
producing people who despise this work
[E]Since my birth I've [D]been exposed
to many cultures on earth
But none have left im[C#]pressions
[C#aug]like affection of the ghet[D]to
If you can understand what I'm saying
[E]then[D]
[D][C#aug]
[G]I p[D]eople h[G]ear and let go of the memes t[D]hat's oppressive,
[E]stop being pos[D]sessive[D][C#aug]
[G][D][G][D]
[E]I s[D]ee beneath the grief as crime increase
My mind release sorrow,
I'm missing [C#aug]peace
Left behind for tomorrow
like ancient [D]greek
I see a lunar strip filled with horror
Like a faucet we leak,
some say we lost it in the [E]street
The man [D]above sees the tragedy
beneath the glove
Imagine me with no ca[C#aug]pacity, forget all love
I dub [D]rapidly and force for
a better source
Throughout the south east west and the north
I suggest [E]we come [D]forth with grits
To rectify our crucial conflict
Connect the wire for [C#aug]time
expired and split
But don't forget all [D]through
the terrorism
Vandalism, there's wisdom,
but all you hear is negatism
And the criti[E]cism,
if [D]we deconstruct the mind of the blind soul
Let the untold un[C#aug]fold, ghetto love in bold
See a [D]place I never let go, it's the ghetto
that inhabited
The red pole, be scared of it, and don't know
if [E]we can transfer
[D]From a blurred vision and
dirt and make the
right decision
Happiness [C#aug]will occur,
we'll be a team, like
[D]home and
Douglas
G .A.
My ghetto love,
my ghetto state and my heart
Till my dying day, [E]I pray,
ghetto [D]love
The situation and time in the prison
My absence is detriment
[C#aug]al to our measures and
dress
From the [G]ghetto, to the meadow
[D]I h[G]ope people hear and let
go of their gains
Stop [D]be [E]ing possessed
The [D]situation and time in the prison
My absence is detri[C#aug]mental
to our measures
From [G]the ghetto, to the meadow [D]I h[G]ope people
hear and let go of their [D]gains[E][D][C#aug]
[D]I hope people hear an [G]d let go of the things that's pre[D]sent,
[E]stop being possessive
I [D]hope [C#aug]people he[D]ar and let go of[G] the things that's present,[D]
stop [E]being pos[D]sessive[C#aug]
I [D]hope people hear and [G]let go of the things that's [D]op pressive,
stop being possessive.
my eyes, not enough, trying to find love.
