In The Ghetto Lyrics
In The Ghetto - Phillis Dillon
I was born and raised in the ghetto
I was born and raised in the ghetto
I'm a woman of the ghetto
Listen to me legislator
How do you raise your kiss in the ghetto
How do you raise your kiss in the ghetto
Feed one child and starve another
Tell me tell me legislator
Ging gi-gi-gi-gi-ging
Ging gi-gi-gi-gi-ging
How do you make your bread in the ghetto
How do you make your bread in the ghetto
Take from the souls of the dead in the ghetto
Tell me tell me legislator
Ging gi-gi-gi-gi-ging
Ging gi-gi-gi-gi-ging
Now how do you get rid of rats in the ghetto
How do you get rid of rats in the ghetto
Eat one black and one white
Tell me tell me legislator
Ging gi-gi-gi-gi-ging
Ging gi-gi-gi-gi-ging
My children learned just the same as yours
Long as nobody tries to close the door
They cry with pain when the knife cuts deep
They'll close their eyes when they'll wanna sleep
Ging gi-gi-gi-gi-ging
Ging gi-gi-gi-gi-ging
How do you raise your kids in the ghetto
How do you raise your kids in the ghetto
Feed one child and starve another
Tell me tell me legislator
Ging gi-gi-gi-gi-ging
Ging gi-gi-gi-gi-ging
Tell me people
I wanna know
Black and one white
Eat one black and one whitena
Tell me tell me legislator
