I was born and raised in the ghetto,

I was born and raised in the ghetto.
I'm the woman of the ghetto
Listen to me, legislator
How do you raise your kids in the ghetto?
do you raise your kids in the ghetto?
Feed one child and starve another
Tell me, tell me, legislator
How do you make your
bread in the ghetto?
How do you make your
bread in the ghetto?
Bake from the soles of the dead in the ghetto
Is that your answer, legislator?
Break free, black me
I am the woman of the ghetto

Strong, true, my eyes ain't blue
I am the woman of the ghetto
Now how do we get rid of
rats in the ghetto?
How do we get rid of rats in the ghetto?
Do we make one black and
one white in the ghetto?
Is that your answer, legislator?
My children learn just the same as yours,
long as nobody tries to close the door.
They cry with pain when the night is deep,
they close their eyes when they want to sleep.
