The Ghetto

Growing up in the ghetto is not a bad thing.
Some people thinks it's HORRIBLE, but it's not like it seems.
The word ghetto doesn't mean "hood rat chicks" and nappy hair.
It's full of people proud to be where they are and people who care.
If you didn't grow up in the ghetto or never lived there.
You don't have any say so on who is or isn't on welfare.
Some people might not have the money to move out the hood.
But if you take a look at their kids, they're doing good.
You can say all you want about these people going through strife.
But they might just be the ones who makes the biggest success in life.
You can also gossip all you want about who shot who.
If you think about it these kids don't have anything else to do.
You might think that everytime you ride through the ghetto you gone see a lady.
Running around trying to find the father of her baby.
These people might no be living around wealth.
But if you see something wrong don't criticize them, offer your help.
Look into the eyes of the people living in the ghetto, there's a strong powerful head on their neck.
Don't put them into a seperate group, you treat them with respect.
So to all my people living in the hood and the ghetto this goes out to you.
"You can become anything you put your mind to!"
