The Ghetto


Vacant lots
Drug spots
Liquor stores
Corner grocery stores
Funeral homes
Fat rides on chrome
Abandoned buildings
Guys outside dealing
Barbershops
Chop shops
Fast food restaurants
Broken glass
Racist police officers
That abuse and harass
Stray dogs
Envious people and crime scenes
Homeless people
Girls out for guys making fast green
Everybody wants to get out
That's what the ghetto's all about
