Woman Of The Ghetto - Marlena Shaw[00:00:00]

La-la-la-la-la-la-la[00:00:10]

I was born raised in a ghetto[00:00:20]

I was born and raised in a ghetto[00:00:25]

I'm a woman of the ghetto[00:00:30]

Won't you listen won't you listen to me legislator[00:00:32]

Ging gi-gi-gi-gi-ging[00:00:42]

How do you raise your kids in a ghetto[00:00:44]

How do you raise your kids in a ghetto[00:00:49]

Do you feed one child and starve another[00:00:53]

Won't you tell me legislator[00:00:58]

Enthralled through[00:01:04]

I know that my eyes ain't blue[00:01:06]

But you see I'm a woman[00:01:08]

Of the ghetto[00:01:10]

I'm proud free[00:01:13]

Black that is me[00:01:15]

But I'm a woman of the ghetto[00:01:18]

Ging gi-gi-gi-gi-ging[00:01:22]

How does your heart feel late at night[00:01:23]

How does your heart feel late at night[00:01:28]

Does it beat with shame or does it beat with pride[00:01:32]

Won't you tell me legislator[00:01:37]

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na[00:01:41]

Puts me in the mind of[00:01:41]

Come and cross the water in a boat[00:01:46]

Chained tied together[00:01:56]

They said no no they're really not man and women[00:01:57]

Just chain 'em up tie 'em up chain 'em up tie 'em up[00:02:01]

Chain 'em up tie 'em up work work work[00:02:05]

There's where the movement came from[00:02:08]

Say no no[00:02:09]

My children learned just the same as yours[00:02:15]

As long as nobody tries to close the door[00:02:19]

They cry with pain when the knife cuts deep[00:02:24]

They even close their eyes when they wanna sleep[00:02:29]

Now peace you say[00:02:33]

Is all that you ask[00:02:38]

But self-respect is a separate task[00:02:40]

You may be sitting up there[00:02:43]

In your ivory tower[00:02:46]

60 stories tall[00:02:48]

I know that you may have checked out at least one ghetto[00:02:49]

But I wonder have you lived there at all[00:02:54]

Places like Watts[00:03:03]

Ah Holland tell me[00:03:04]

Chicago ah tell me[00:03:07]

Washington got some too[00:03:10]

I have been up on the mountains I[00:03:11]

And I'm free at last[00:03:16]

I say I'm free at last[00:03:17]

I've seen the children dying[00:03:26]

And I've been one of the mothers who was crying[00:03:29]

Ging gi-gi-gi-gi-ging[00:03:39]

I am a woman[00:03:40]

I am a woman[00:03:43]

I am a woman yes I[00:03:51]

I said that I am[00:03:55]

I mean that I am[00:04:00]

I'm the woman I'm the woman I'm the woman of the ghetto[00:04:04]

Strong true[00:04:12]

A woman[00:04:13]

A woman[00:04:15]

You can walk through the streets of the ghetto at night[00:04:15]

Whole lotta pretty some ugly sites[00:04:21]

Along comes the sleek limousine[00:04:24]

Say hey baby I got ten[00:04:31]

Look at me I'm clean[00:04:33]

So she takes a little d**e[00:04:35]

What the hell everybody got to go[00:04:38]

I got a baby[00:04:41]

I got a baby[00:04:43]

I got a baby I want to feed and I'm not really giving it all[00:04:48]

Up just a little ten-cent piece or two[00:05:00]

Ah the black woman[00:05:03]

But I ain't gonna raise your babies no more[00:05:06]

I got a few on my own[00:05:12]

I wanna keep strolling[00:05:17]

I say I am a woman[00:05:20]

Gi-gi-gi-gi-ging I am[00:05:22]

I[00:05:25]

I am[00:05:25]

I am[00:05:29]

Remember me[00:05:29]

I'm the one who had your babies I[00:05:30]

Gi-gi-gi-gi-ging I am[00:05:34]

I am[00:05:35]

I am a woman[00:05:36]

Of the ghetto[00:05:39]

Woman[00:05:40]

I'm a woman yeah yeah yeah[00:05:40]

Just a woman[00:05:43]
