I come to awake sleepy nations/
In pain political sedation/
The minds have been spaded/
Left rotten vessels evaded/
Gut hell expedite the first three levels/
Till terror overtakes see the devil/
Those that see come stand with me/
Pray to your Gods and fight in solidarity/
Let’s go back into the painful history/
Released the tears face fears build with me/
The ghetto is the worse confine/
That’s where we got raped and lost our mind/
Pay attention as I go through the ghetto/
The acronym will come clear bellow/
From the plantation to the projects/
We were robbed by political rejects/
LIVIVNG IN DA G.H.E.T.T.O
It’s deeper than society
Secrets and high bureaucracy
Hidden facts distorted teachings
Mental chains futilely beseeching
When the government you love so much/
Is corrupt you must distrust?
When Kwame spoke of power you ran,
Martin spoke of war you moved in/
Malcolm brought Mecca to the eyes/
Hatred caused ignorance to arise/
When media became your master/
You became mindless bastards/
Forgot the queens of humanity/
Mens love became hypocrisy/
To scared to face weakness and sensitivity/
Became dominated by fallacies and sexuality/
LIVIVNG IN DA G.H.E.T.T.O
Our gut was taken now were cowards/
Leaving responsibility our family goes downward/
Hell is what’s promised if we don’t convert/
To a slave religion that’s overt/
Expedite the blacks from society/
Make it hard to live in mentally/
Till don’t stop the process/
Push forward fear and unrest/
Terror is placing guns all around/
A cop shooting a brothers who steps are sound/
Over taken were already over taken/
In other wards coffin our foundation has been shaken/
Gut hell expedite ‘til terror overtakes/
Six levels of hell our minds have been raped/
Living in the ghetto/
Living in the ghetto.
I came across this purely by coincidence, but I am ever so glad that I did. The meaning of "ghetto" transcends time, from Holocaust hell to the socio-economic statures of our day. I appreciated the emotion one can feel in this piece, as well as the historical mentions of influential individuals. "Gut hell expedite ‘til terror overtakes/
Six levels of hell our minds have been raped/" - words of true feeling. Thank you for giving me something to think about.
You are very welcome and
You are very welcome and thank you for your words, be blessed.
