[00:29.14]I won’t be stopped by the ghetto streets
[00:31.60]I believe inside that I can’t be beat
[00:35.11]This life could be a ball and chain
[00:37.52]If you let yourself get caught in the game
[00:40.50]I had some friends who sold drugs for dough
[00:43.61]But I don’t intend to go down that road
[00:46.89]Just because I’m a ghetto child

[00:54.76]Can rise in the highest celebration (Oh)

[01:22.95]So another tear won’t be shed in grief
[01:25.57]And every thug in every hood
