《Ghetto Woman》歌词

[00:00:00] Ghetto Woman - Janelle Monáe

[00:00:15] Carry on Ghetto Woman

[00:00:19] I see you working night to morning light yet no one cares

[00:00:23] Carry on Ghetto Woman

[00:00:27] Cause even though they laugh and

[00:00:29] Talk about the clothes you wear

[00:00:31] I wish they could just realize

[00:00:35] That all you’ve ever needed was someone to free your mind

[00:00:39] Carry on Ghetto Woman

[00:00:44] Cause even in your darkest hours I still see your light

[00:00:47] And when you cry don’t you know

[00:00:50] That I am crying with you

[00:00:54] When people put you down yeah way down and you feel

[00:00:59] Like you’re alone

[00:01:02] Let love be your guide

[00:01:05] You were built to last through any weather

[00:01:10] Oh Ghetto Woman hold on to your dreams

[00:01:13] And all your great philosophies

[00:01:15] You’re the reason I believe in me for real

[00:01:19] Carry on Ghetto Woman

[00:01:23] When you doubt if you’re a star

[00:01:25] Just know we still believe

[00:01:27] Carry on Ghetto Woman

[00:01:31] Even when the news portrays you less than you could be

[00:01:35] I wish they could just realize

[00:01:39] All you ever needed was someone to free your mind

[00:01:43] Carry on Ghetto Woman

[00:01:47] You’re the 7th wonder reigning over us at night

[00:01:51] When you cry don’t you know

[00:01:54] We're right there crying with you

[00:01:58] People put you down yeah way down

[00:02:02] And you feel like you’re alone

[00:02:06] Let love be your guide

[00:02:09] You were built to last through any weather

[00:02:14] Oh Ghetto Woman hold on to your dreams

[00:02:17] And all your great philosophies

[00:02:19] You’re the reason I believe in me for real

[00:02:24] Some say this ghetto land will

[00:02:27] Take you down and poison you

[00:02:32] Some say she can do all the things a man can do

[00:02:40] Who said the ghetto’s just a place

[00:02:42] Where queens dance naked on the moon

[00:02:48] We say a woman came to change

[00:02:50] The face of each and every room

[00:03:11] When I was just a baby

[00:03:12] My momma dropped out of school

[00:03:13] It was only second semester the baby due

[00:03:15] The doctor said “December the first your due date”

[00:03:17] The daddy he was gone off to college he couldn’t wait

[00:03:19] Only just a teen with dreams to be on TV

[00:03:21] And living with a mom and

[00:03:22] My grandma who used to feed me

[00:03:23] We would move around in the city place to place

[00:03:25] The landlord come for the rent face to face

[00:03:27] Her eyes too heavy from working nights as a janitor

[00:03:29] She’d keep it to herself and nobody could understand her

[00:03:31] Even when she thought that she couldn’t she carried on

[00:03:33] She couldn’t imagine both of her daughters here all alone

[00:03:35] Before the tuxedos and black and white every day

[00:03:37] Used to watch my momma

[00:03:38] Get down on her knees and pray

[00:03:39] She’s the reason that

[00:03:40] I’m even writing this song

[00:03:41] Ghetto Woman no it won’t be long Now sing along

[00:03:43] Let it use you

[00:03:45] Let it use you

[00:03:47] When the love is strong

[00:03:49] It won’t let you be alone

[00:03:51] Let it use you

[00:03:53] Just let the spirit lead you
