I'm from the ghetto where kids don't play From the land where they use slang you won't say City of gangstas and brotherly love City of hustlers and suffering thugs But there's a sign of life in our youth They look up to the things we do Teach them to love and we can't lose Help them to find the right path to choose Every day there's a struggle here Life's a crack house socked in tears Church a packed house covered in fear God love reigns down on His children And everyday a life is thrown away When everyday there's a life to gain Christ accepts all sinners the same Men and women just reaching for change I'm from the ghetto, I'm from the gutter where it all goes down And in the ghetto is where the Most High change me around We've been praying and I think we see now We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it I'm from the ghetto where stars are born Record deals no sales leave young men scorned Little women with big women bodies make them feel grown You cast the first stone Seventeen of the grind a formality Cutting school smoking weed a reality Little babies having babies it's so sad to see Men and women of the church are taking back the streets I'm from the ghetto, I'm from the gutter where it all goes down And in the ghetto is where the Most High change me around We've been praying and I think we see now We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it I'm from the ghetto where guns are used by Little ones that are often abused 20/20's Badlands the news consist of thugs But Christians live here too, let's change I'm from the ghetto, I'm from the gutter where it all goes down And in the ghetto is where the Most High change me around We've been praying and I think we see now We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it If I ever make it out the hood congratulate me Lately I've been feeling like I'm trapped here Last year feels like the other day And another day goes by but it's the same thing What can I do different, how can I make a change? Feels like a deja vu but still I maintain Feels like I paid my dues when I was eighteen Would my music appeal to you if I was mainstream?
