Ghetto lyrics

(INTRO)

Ah grandma use to make Alcohol

and that’s how we get our meals

Some times she get beaten by the police and put in jail

Warchild Emmanuel Jal, Roachie in the mix, Silvastone

(REF)(2x)

I'm from the ghetto ghetto ghetto oh oh

Different kind of ghetto ghetto ghetto eh ehe

In the back of the house just behind the wall

Grandma used to make alcohol

she was like the old woman who used to live in the shoe

She did what she had to do

she was the first gangster the first one I knew first thug

First hustler she lead the crew

police used to beat her bad and lock her up in the jail

Aunties brings the ram to pay bribe and bail

make her promise that she will never ever do it again

That’s the only way she knew how to make a living

that’s the first touch of the first touch I see

of the ghetto life and the life to live i leave

(REF)

I take time to reflect on the reason of crime

What made my grandma to go sell moon shine

What make a woman in a ghetto sell a body for fun

Young man selling crack taking lives with guns

Its not a choice so it gat to be the circumstance

Minimum options she gat to play that hand

We need to shuffle up the deck coz the cards are fixed

New game coz the dealer is up to his old tricks

(REF)

(modulated voice)

Ghetto people knows how to improvise

Never ever back down no matter the size

At the bottom the pile still looking high

Big dreams big things from the dust we rise

Like the sun in morning you know we gown shine

Illuminate the whole world changing hearts and minds

Pick the lock if nobody wanna opening the door

Once we in you can’t shut us out no more

(BRIDGE)

Different kind of different kind of

From the ghetto the ghetto the ghetto (yo)

Different kind of different kind

Ghetto London America Jamaica keep the fire burning

(REF)(2x)

(CHORUS AND CHANT)

Kesho sama keho sama kesho sama leo mia love

Kesho sama keho sama kesho sama leo mia love

Kesho sama keho sama kesho sama leo mia love

Kesho sama keho sama kesho sama leo mia love

(2x)

Ghetto Africa ah ghetto Africa ah ghetto Africa

Ghetto Africa keep keep the fire burning..

Ghetto Africa keep keep the fire burning..

(REF)(2x)

I'm from the Ghetto
