about

"I Was Born In The Ghetto" is a song that is talking about the struggles in the ghetto and how people change to be very bad in their communities instead trying to be a warrior, hero, protector and develop from nothing to something. Most youths turn to guns and drugs which will never pave a way for any growth but self destruction.
With the help of the ALMIGHTY I shall be a hero in my Ghetto.

Ghetto lyrics
Written by: Saah Karim
Track Tittle: "I Was Born In The Ghetto"


Intro: I'm a Ghetto warrior, oh yeah I'm a Ghetto Soldier.
Representing all over.


Chorus:


I was born in the Ghetto---------
I shall be a hero------------
I got no fear in my heart oh no.
So Jah show I the way more and more.
I was born in the Ghetto---------
I shall be a hero------------
I got no fear in my heart oh no.
So Jah show I the way more and more.


Verse:


My papa is a vendor, mama babysitter. Too much violence right in the ghetto, everyday I hear the voice of the poor people ah echo. Eh echo now! Needle in my veins selling cocaine, using my sisters abusing them.
Moving like someone who’s got no aim, I'm telling my life in a whole pic frame!


Chorus:


I was born in the Ghetto---------
I shall be a hero------------
I got no fear in my heart oh no.
So Jah show I the way more and more.
I was born in the Ghetto---------
I shall be a hero------------
I got no fear in my heart oh no.
So Jah show I the way more and more.


Verse:


I woke up one morning & decided to stop all foolish things.
Focus my self and hail my king, work and help my family that’s the very thing- the very thing.
Drugs and fornication can't get me no way, crime and violence it pave no way.
Being a hero is the only way today.
Oh Jah Jah know is the only way today.


Chorus:


I was born in the Ghetto---------
I shall be a hero------------
I got no fear in my heart oh no.
So Jah show I the way more and more.
I was born in the Ghetto---------
I shall be a hero------------
I got no fear in my heart oh no.
So Jah show I the way more and more.


Bridge:


I could be a example right here in my Ghetto------ I could be a hero right here in Jah's Ghetto.
I could be an example right here in my Ghetto-------- I could be a hero---- everywhere in every Ghetto.
I'm a Ghetto Warrior, I'm a Ghetto soldier forever more, forever more wooo.


Chorus:


I was born in the Ghetto---------
I shall be a hero------------
I got no fear in my heart oh no.
So Jah show I the way more and more.
I was born in the Ghetto---------
I shall be a hero------------
I got no fear in my heart oh no.
So Jah show I the way more and more.


Verse:


My papa is a vendor, mama babysitter. Too much of violence right in the ghetto, everyday I hear the voice of the poor people ah echo. Eh echo now! Needle in my vein selling cocaine, using my sisters abusing them.
Moving like someone who’s got no aim, I'm telling my life in a whole pic frame.
