[00:05:59] I was born, raised in a Ghetto

[00:05:59] I was born and raised in a Ghetto

[00:05:59] How do ya raise your kids in a Ghetto

[00:05:59] Do you feed one child and starve another

[00:05:59] Won't you tell me legislator

[00:05:59] I'm short, true

[00:05:59] I know that my eyes ain't blue

[00:05:59] I'm brown, green, black that is me

[00:05:59] Puts me in the mind of

[00:05:59] Commin' cross the water

[00:05:59] In a boar

[00:05:59] Chained and tied, together

[00:05:59] Except no, no they're really not men and women

[00:05:59] Just chain 'em up, tie 'em up

[00:05:59] Chain 'em up, tie 'em up

[00:05:59] Chain 'em up, tie 'em up

[00:05:59] Work! Work! Work!

[00:05:59] That's where the movement came from

[00:05:59] Said Lord, Lord

[00:05:59] My children learn just the same as yours

[00:05:59] As long as nobody tries to close the door

[00:05:59] They cry with pain

[00:05:59] When the night cuts in

[00:05:59] They even close their eyes

[00:05:59] When they wanna sleep

[00:05:59] Got peace you say in all that you ask

[00:05:59] But self respect is our temporary task

[00:05:59] Your baby's standing up there in your Ivory Tower

[00:05:59] 16 stories stories tall

[00:05:59] I know that you've checked out at least one Ghetto, but

[00:05:59] I wonder have you lived there at all

[00:05:59] Think you'll find no answer

[00:05:59] Harlem tells me

[00:05:59] Chicago tells me

[00:05:59] Washington got some too

[00:05:59] I have have been upon the mountain top
