Lyrics
So this is a story about this place where we come from.
In South Africa we call it ekasi
The rest of the world calls it the ghetto.
Some places call it the hood
In Brazil they call it the...
Said I'm from a place
Where being desolate is the same as being rich.
Cause government resources are far from our reach.
Corruption is plentiful and fat cats roam the streets.
While at home we suffer with these rats at our feet.
Where being a good girl is the same as being a bitch.
Cause preachers pray then numb girls and hide it when they preach.
The child's innocence is at stake of being extinct.
The fast cars of our past lives
Our world is from the ghetto
It's no fair, no fair, it's no
fair. No fair, no fair it's not
fair.No fair, no fair it's not
fair. I'm from the ghetto.
There's no way that my kids will grow in the ghetto.
And there's no way that my mom will die in the ghetto.
And there's no way, no way, no way...
(Livin in the ghetto)
Said I'm from a place
