G.H.E.T.T.O

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.
