Let's Clean Up the Ghetto - The Philadelphia Band[00:00:00]

You know i was in new york city a few months ago[00:00:06]

And the garbage and the trash men were on strike[00:00:08]

I'm tellin' the maintenance people of the city[00:00:12]

What they were tryin' to do was[00:00:14]

They were tryin' to get a little more money[00:00:16]

You know get a little raise in pay[00:00:18]

But at that particular time the city was broke[00:00:20]

They were about ready to declare default[00:00:23]

I tell you the garbage in some places[00:00:25]

Was stacked up two three stories high[00:00:27]

At night ha ha boy at night it weren't even safe to walk the street[00:00:30]

'Cause they caught the rats the roaches and the water bugs[00:00:35]

I mean they were hustlin' baby tryin' to get somethin' to eat see[00:00:38]

And let met tell you somethin' it was stinkin'[00:00:42]

And it was all kind of diseases in there you know[00:00:45]

But it only brought to mind the fact that[00:00:48]

You can no longer depend on the man downtown[00:00:51]

To take your business[00:00:52]

When he's supposed to[00:00:54]

If all of us would get it like it's supposed to be[00:00:56]

As far as cleanliness you know and safety[00:01:01]

We gotta get together and do it for ourselves[00:01:04]

That's the only way it's gonna be done[00:01:08]

And you know what i'm talkin' about[00:01:10]

Let me tell you what i mean[00:01:12]

Clean it up clean it up well y'all office[00:01:14]

Clean it up clean it up you gotta get it[00:01:18]

Clean it up clean it up get it[00:01:22]

Ghetto ghetto ghetto is our home[00:01:30]

That's where we live where we live[00:01:41]

Get your paint fetch your hammer your nails[00:01:46]

Get your brooms your mop and your pail[00:01:50]

We're gonna wash it polish and make it all clean[00:01:53]

Let's wash away all of the sins[00:01:58]

Time for a new life to begin in the ghetto[00:02:05]

I said we're gonna clean it up clean it up[00:02:16]

Because the ghetto i said the ghetto ghetto is our home[00:02:20]

Let's get rid of everything we don't need[00:02:40]

Pushers the dealers[00:02:44]

The pocket book snatchers and thieves aha[00:02:46]

Let's make the streets safe for women to walk[00:02:52]
