Somewhere off a highway exit
In the chi
It's a ten year old begging for change
My nigga, why
Is their third world living
In a billion dollar city
Five major sports teams
And the public schools are shitty
Pity that privilege pisses on poverty
On the daily
Born poor and they eyeball us awkwardly 
Like we lazy
I repeat a fucking a ten year old 
Was begging for change
At a red light 
I watched him go from lane to lane
I can't explain the sorrow 
That took ahold of my spirit
Does he believe tomorrow
Everything can be splendid 
All his pain can be ended 
Does he have faith that the niggas
That he's hanging with
Can be the next future inventors 
Or does he just see just the image
That he'll be dead or in prison
In the feds With a sentence 
Surrounded by dreads with addictions
This ran thru my head while I'm sitting 
Watching cars ignore the youngin 
All I could do is crack my window 
And let him hold a little something 

It ain't glamorous 
It ain't safe 
It ain't compassionate 
It is hate
No, ghetto is not an adjective
It's a place
It ain't glamorous 
It ain't safe 
It ain't compassionate 
It is hate
No, ghetto is not an adjective
It's a place

After work Tawanna hops inside her Honda
Turns on Jill Scott as she leaves to get her daughter 
Feeling a little hot as she bends around the corner 
Caught up in her thoughts the stop sign
She straight ignored it
Avoided a near collision 
Let's focus on the mission
Daycare then back home safe
With her princess 
Pull up at the daycare 
Babies crying and whining 
Not her little princess she's sitting in silence
Sleepy steady nodding
Peaceful with baby problems 
Strapped up in the car seat 
Safe with her baby bottle
Across the street Tawanna notices 
Two ladies arguing
Push shove punch kick
Now they out here squabbing
Aye yo yall need to stop that shit
Screamed a Good Samaritan 
Who stopped from jogging
To get involved and step between the chicks
As Tawanna puts her car in gear
The sound nobody wants to hear
Gun shots pow, pow, pow 
Tawanna ducks in fear
Then reaches in the backseat
To check her princess
Pivots her body around fastly 
Her full attention
Quickly accessing vitals
These psychos 
Shot with no conscience 
Her princess is unharmed 
Now mom is weighing her options
Go check to see who's shot 
And be a witness
Or get her daughter home safe
With the quickness 
Tawanna cant risk this
Aint suspicious 
Minds her business 
Fires her engine 
Then slides off with her princess
Can you blame her
It's a cold world

It ain't glamorous 
It ain't safe 
It ain't compassionate 
It is hate
No, ghetto is not an adjective 
It's a place
It ain't glamorous 
It ain't safe 
It ain't compassionate 
It is hate
No, ghetto is not an adjective 
It's a place
