Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was born and raised in the ghetto
I was born and raised in the ghetto
I'm a woman of a ghetto
Listen to me, legislator
[Verse 2]
How do you raise your kids in a ghetto?
How do you raise your kids in a ghetto?
Feed one child and starve another
Tell me, tell me, legislator
[Verse 3]
How do you make your bread in the ghetto?
How do you make your bread in the ghettos?
Baked from the souls of the dead in the ghetto
Tell me, tell me, legislator
[Verse 4]
I was born and raised in the ghetto
I was born and raised in the ghetto
I'm a woman of a ghetto
Listen to me, legislator
[Verse 5]
How do you raise your kids in the ghetto?
How do you raise your kids in the ghetto?
Feed one child and starve another
Tell me, tell me, legislator
[Verse 6]
How do you make your bread in the ghetto?
How do you make your bread in the ghettos?
Baked from the souls of the dead in the ghetto
Tell me, tell me, legislator
