[Verse 1]
Ghetto man, your mind is cloudy
You don't think no one really loves you
I know that life's incidental
But you must be strong
Focus the mental
Is it precious?

[Chorus]
Ghetto man, now, don't you know?
Someday, we all have to go
Careful of the path you choose
To escape these ghetto blues

[Verse 2]
Ghetto man, you try and try
Even when the fire burning at your hands
Trips and burdens do slip inside
But I'm gonna fight
'Til they take me home

[Chorus]
Ghetto man, now, don't you know? (Don't you know?)
Someday, we all have to go (Got to go)
Careful of the path you choose (Careful)
To escape these ghetto blues
[Bridge]
Born and raised in ghetto streets
Seems like all there is to life
Loneliness even with a million people by my side
Dreams are born and fade away
'Cause it's me against the world
Time to make a change

[Chorus]
Ghetto man, now, don't you know?
Someday, we all have to go (I get so mad)
Careful of the path you choose (Of the path you choose)
To escape these ghetto blues
Ghetto man, now, don't you know
Someday we all have to go
Careful of the path you choose (Careful)
To escape these ghetto blues (Careful)

[Interlude]
In these ghetto streets
In these ghetto times
All the things we need
All the things we need

[Outro: MuMs da Schemer]
I came upon the corner
Put trite in our color
Magnificent in my melanin
Sent it in a state of confidence
Bound and honored by humility
Heaven by what my mother instilled
Will body universe
Versed in the language of the secular
Seduced by the sounds of the seraph
When willed around the light of the Lord, the Lord
Allowing the letting of lyrics lent to the land next for the learning life, life
Dread, discerned, devastated, delightful
At the simpleness of the intricacies discovered
And the grief of that master with a smirk inside of her smile
As I seriously invade the style of the earth
Sustained on that corner
In my left hand, the liquid lent to be by the lower levels of leave
Paled of the stingy in creek
Bottled be which to brewed, be coated, cursed and cloaked
Dogged in red, housed in crazy
Held in wicked eyes of St Notre to the strength of my will
