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

Carry on Ghetto Woman[00:00:15]

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

Carry on Ghetto Woman[00:00:23]

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

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

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

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

Carry on Ghetto Woman[00:00:39]

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

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

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

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

Like you’re alone[00:00:59]

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

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

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

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

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

Carry on Ghetto Woman[00:01:19]

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

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

Carry on Ghetto Woman[00:01:27]

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

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

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

Carry on Ghetto Woman[00:01:43]

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

When you cry don’t you know[00:01:51]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

She’s the reason that[00:03:39]

I’m even writing this song[00:03:40]

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

Let it use you[00:03:43]

Let it use you[00:03:45]

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

It won’t let you be alone[00:03:49]

Let it use you[00:03:51]

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