Where we fight for tomorrow and hope to see the sun rise
Where every day some one gets shot and killed
Stuck in the getto
Praying that one day our lifes will change
Wondering when God will leasen to us
Wondering when the goverment will change our streets
Stuck in the getto
Where babys are turned to hoes
Where gangs seem like the answer
Where fighting is the only answer
Stuck in the getto
Where people carry guns for protection
Where childeren are having baby
Where every day some poor person gets robbed for all they had
Stuck in the getto
The getto is where I'm from and where I struggle to live
Where people sell drug on every corner you turn
Where kids are walking the streets and adults aren't in sight
Where bums make there homes on the streets
Where people cry them selfs to sleep

Lovely poem 'ere Roxy.
I can relate as I too live in the ghetto.
I do wanna say that sometimes the goverment aint the solution to our problems, sometimes we are the only ones who can change the situation.
