[00:00.00]Ghettos of the Mind - Pete Rock/C.L. Smooth
[00:31.41]Ghetto of the Mind
[00:33.90]
[00:54.58]I catch a body at a party sort of herbal with the verbal
[00:56.91]Look above and see the vultures fly around in a circle
[00:59.13]Baggin' while you're lollygaggin' raggin' tow-taggin'
[01:01.84]Assassin with the millimeter roars of a dragon
[01:04.99]Here stood the black hood thirsty for the end
[01:07.52]And for the love of money kind of funny new friends
[01:10.15]Public housing a thousand in a tent
[01:13.07]So I'm forced to sell hell just to pay the rent
[01:15.28]Killing my own people I put 'em out of order
[01:17.74]Just like the liquor store scene on every corner
[01:20.30]I'm trying but the kids keep crying
[01:22.15]And the bullets keep flying
[01:23.44]Look a boy he's on the curb just dying
[01:25.77]Finally the cops come dumb to the slum
[01:28.06]Pull out a gun and arrest the wrong one
[01:30.63]Wax all the Puerto Ricans and blacks
[01:33.01]So they can never relax
[01:33.89]I dwell might as well learn the facts
[01:36.03]Pete Rock and C L can radio a shack up
[01:38.65]Sparking off and have 'em all calling for backup
[01:40.86]"Watch another crime and you're gonna do time"
[01:43.55]All this you'll find in the ghettos of the mind
[01:46.52]Ain't that something
[01:47.00]
[02:07.15]Listen to cats and rough rats war under the window
[02:08.91]When the ghetto forts flarey never was a Tom and Jerry
[02:11.51]Livin' ain't cheap my survival is deep
[02:14.13]In this part of town where the city never sleep
[02:16.59]A Barney Miller roller you can bet the car's stolen
[02:19.46]Or static with your BM only when you see them
[02:22.02]Speaking on your baby's mom a best for the drama
[02:24.47]Always trying to make a movie little stark-raving looney
[02:26.43]Stressing it but you know the ghetto keep ya busy
[02:29.52]A place that when I die it would never even miss me
[02:32.84]Crack phials in the aisles as one pimp smiles
[02:35.18]D**e piles working hookers by the miles
[02:37.27]But still my pop's got three jobs to stable
[02:39.79]A family household and food on the table
[02:42.37]So as we pray for all our souls to keep
[02:44.93]Somebody's on the project roof ready to leap
[02:47.49]I want to stop the pain or the bad situation
[02:50.05]But backwards wisdom I can't afford to give 'em
[02:52.91]Self savior is much braver with the conscious behavior
[02:55.07]
[02:55.58]Designed in the ghettos of the mind
[02:57.69]
[02:58.23]Ain't that somethin' C'mon
[02:58.90]
[03:20.31]It's like that y'all
[03:21.06]
[03:28.48]I could never look forward to an early retirement
[03:30.82]But still I maintain in a hostile environment
[03:33.02]
[03:33.76]Hustling the concrete jungle for loot
[03:35.65]
[03:36.25]My parents hated blood money so they gave me the boot
[03:38.50]Take a risk 'cause the peer pressure has the edge
[03:41.27]It was a blessing when I saw my life dangle on the ledge
[03:43.75]The streets coulda swallowed me whole
[03:45.80]But the pain was all gone
[03:47.08]When I got to see my healthy son born
[03:48.97]And now I bring him home to the ghetto
[03:51.03]Only to make a stronger fellow
[03:52.36]Maybe do some good for the neighborhood
[03:53.87]It's hard playing hero living less than a zero
[03:56.64]Raging Bull like DeNiro the modern day pharoah
[03:59.22]A concentration camp with the Section 8
[04:02.24]Welfare checks given at a monthly rate
[04:04.39]Apply for the get high or just plain lazy
[04:07.12]Many steady collect right around the fifth baby
[04:09.63]The hawk is out but the niggaz never pack it
[04:12.19]A hundred dollar sneakers with the skimpy-a** jacket
[04:14.62]When people are deaf dumb
[04:16.40]And blind they get left behind
[04:17.64]Imagine in the ghettos of the mind
