Times goes by
Giving but denied
Cause living in this ghetto is a crime
And you know that got me
It got me crazy how this evil gives us trouble
It got me crazy how my people live to struggle (What my people sing?)

Born and raised I was a victim of the streets
While torn and crazed inside this system that we see
See I struggled for days to try to set my people free
But in so many ways that mountain high and way too steep
Because the ghetto be the creek for our people to bleed
There is a higher-powered breach to keep our people in need
They say my music is a mischief, sanction of hate
That's why they turn the other cheek, in the wake of my say
Specific candor of words, foreclosed homes
Jobs being shifted out of state solely gone
But yet we're killing up our own, so who can you blame?
A genocide that's clearly shown we need our people to change
In a strange range turn of events, they tried to circumvent
The underlying plan to make our people extinct
It's not a racist underhand I'm sourcing skill with the facts
So maybe now you'll understand, how it feels to be black
I sing...

It got me crazy how this evil gives us trouble

Sometimes you never know what they pitch
I struggled so hard all my life, so I deserve to be rich
It's such a bitch when you're looking in the mirror and the fear hit YA
It's a curse to be real and that's the clear picture
Took some time to heal living through my broken past
When I think about the childhood that I never truly had
Never knew my dad and I never knew my mom
So I choose the pen and pad when I want to ease & calm
Cause the ghetto is a prison for the children of god
You see that kid selling dope he has no fear in his heart...
I write my music in further scope, I'm not teaching to kill
They're not wanting us to hope and I'm just keeping it real
So I put a gun up to my throat and I solemnly swear
That every word from Rio's quote, was only because I truly cared
Hoping god can hear my prayers I don't think he knows it's me
A conscious mind that's unprepared & right before I go to sleep
I scream

Cause living in this ghetto is a crime

It got me crazy how this evil gives us trouble
It got me crazy how my people live to struggle
I sold my soul to the devil and my gain was cheap
And yo it's cold on this level, but I retained my reach
The freedom in America to speak to the youth
Ayo it's right there in front of you I stick to the truth
You see the guns being sold in the hood
And more & more liquor stores opening in the hood
And more fried chicken stores opening in the hood
The three deadly cores that don't do our people good
Now they're moving all the poor to the burbs,
Another crime is getting served
Another yellow tape line that they cling on the curve
Hoping you can sing my words, that is the real strategy
You already heard being black is such a tragedy
It steady rattles me I'll write a song to the beast
So you can hear it playing all over these streets
It's not a racist underhand I'm sourcing skill with the facts
So maybe now you'll understand, how it feels to be black
I'm saying

Dedicated to my people in Chicago, good old folks!
