Ghetto's Of The Mind (LP版) - Pete Rock/CL Smooth[00:00:00]

Ghetto of the Mind [00:00:31]

I catch a body at a party sort of herbal with the verbal[00:00:54]

Look above and see the vultures fly around in a circle[00:00:56]

Baggin' while you're lollygaggin' raggin' tow-taggin'[00:00:59]

Assassin with the millimeter roars of a dragon[00:01:01]

Here stood the black hood thirsty for the end[00:01:04]

And for the love of money kind of funny new friends[00:01:07]

Public housing a thousand in a tent[00:01:10]

So I'm forced to sell hell just to pay the rent[00:01:13]

Killing my own people I put 'em out of order[00:01:15]

Just like the liquor store scene on every corner[00:01:17]

I'm trying but the kids keep crying [00:01:20]

And the bullets keep flying[00:01:22]

Look a boy he's on the curb just dying[00:01:23]

Finally the cops come dumb to the slum[00:01:25]

Pull out a gun and arrest the wrong one[00:01:28]

Wax all the Puerto Ricans and blacks[00:01:30]

So they can never relax[00:01:33]

I dwell might as well learn the facts[00:01:33]

Pete Rock and C L can radio a shack up[00:01:36]

Sparking off and have 'em all calling for backup[00:01:38]

"Watch another crime and you're gonna do time"[00:01:40]

All this you'll find in the ghettos of the mind[00:01:43]

Ain't that something [00:01:46]

Listen to cats and rough rats war under the window[00:02:07]

When the ghetto forts flarey never was a Tom and Jerry[00:02:08]

Livin' ain't cheap my survival is deep[00:02:11]

In this part of town where the city never sleep[00:02:14]

A Barney Miller roller you can bet the car's stolen[00:02:16]

Or static with your BM only when you see them[00:02:19]

Speaking on your baby's mom a best for the drama[00:02:22]

Always trying to make a movie little stark-raving looney[00:02:24]

Stressing it but you know the ghetto keep ya busy[00:02:26]

A place that when I die it would never even miss me[00:02:29]

Crack phials in the aisles as one pimp smiles[00:02:32]

D**e piles working hookers by the miles[00:02:35]

But still my pop's got three jobs to stable[00:02:37]

A family household and food on the table[00:02:39]

So as we pray for all our souls to keep[00:02:42]

Somebody's on the project roof ready to leap[00:02:44]

I want to stop the pain or the bad situation[00:02:47]

But backwards wisdom I can't afford to give 'em[00:02:50]

Self savior is much braver with the conscious behavior[00:02:52]

Designed in the ghettos of the mind[00:02:55]

Ain't that somethin' C'mon [00:02:58]

It's like that y'all [00:03:20]

I could never look forward to an early retirement[00:03:28]

But still I maintain in a hostile environment[00:03:30]

Hustling the concrete jungle for loot[00:03:33]

My parents hated blood money so they gave me the boot[00:03:36]

Take a risk 'cause the peer pressure has the edge[00:03:38]

It was a blessing when I saw my life dangle on the ledge[00:03:41]

The streets coulda swallowed me whole[00:03:43]

But the pain was all gone[00:03:45]

When I got to see my healthy son born[00:03:47]

And now I bring him home to the ghetto [00:03:48]

Only to make a stronger fellow[00:03:51]

Maybe do some good for the neighborhood[00:03:52]

It's hard playing hero living less than a zero[00:03:53]

Raging Bull like DeNiro the modern day pharoah[00:03:56]

A concentration camp with the Section 8[00:03:59]

Welfare checks given at a monthly rate[00:04:02]

Apply for the get high or just plain lazy[00:04:04]

Many steady collect right around the fifth baby[00:04:07]

The hawk is out but the niggaz never pack it[00:04:09]

A hundred dollar sneakers with the skimpy-a** jacket[00:04:12]

When people are deaf dumb [00:04:14]

And blind they get left behind[00:04:16]

Imagine in the ghettos of the mind[00:04:17]
