ghettos of the mind

ghetto of the mind. i catch a body at a party

sort of herbal with the verbal

look above and see the vultures fly around in a circle

baggin' while you're lollygaggin'

raggin'

tow-taggin'

assassin with the millimeter roars of a dragon

here stood the black hood

thirsty for the end

and for the love of money

kind of funny

new friends

public housing

a thousand in a tent

so i'm forced to sell hell just to pay the rent

killin' my own people

i put 'em out of order

just like the liquor store scene on every corner

i'm tryin' but the kids keep cryin'

and the bullets keep flyin'

look

a boy

he's on the curb just dyin'

finally the cops come dumb to the slum

pull out a gun and arrest the wrong one

wax all the puerto ricans and blacks

so they can never relax

i dwell

might as well learn the facts

pete rock and c.l. can radio a shack up

sparkin' off and have 'em all callin' for backup

watch another crime and you're gonna do time"
