    Songs Title:in the ghetto



    Planet earth was my place of birth

    Born to be the sole controller of the universe
    Besides the part of the map I hit first
    Any a rhyme that I can adapt when it gets worst
    The rough gets going, the going gets rough
    When I start flowing, the mic might bust
    The next state, I shake from the power I generate
    People in cali used to think it was earthquakes
    cause times was hard on the boulevard
    So I vote God and never get scarred and gauled
    But it seems like Im locked in hell
    Looking over the edge but the r never fell
    A trip to slip cause my nikes got grip
    Stand on my own two feet and come equip
    Any stage Im seen on, a mic I fiend on
    I stand alone and need nothing to lean on
    Going for self wit a long way to go
    So much to say but I still flow slow
    I come correct and I wont look back
    cause it aint where youre from, its where
    Youre at
    Even the (ghetto)
    I learn to relax in my room and escape from new york
    And return through the womb of the world as a
    Thought
    Thinking how hard it was to be born
    Me being queen wit no physical form
    Millions of cells wit one destination
    To reach the best part, its life creation
    9 months later, a job well done
    Make way, cause here I come
    Since I made it this far, I cant stop now
    Theres a will and a way and I got the know-how
    To be all I can be and more
    And see all there is to see before
    Im called and go back to the essence
    Its alot to learn so I study my lessons
    I thought the ghetto was the worst that could
    Happen to me
    Im glad I listen when my father was rapping to me
    cause back in the days, they lived in caves
    Exiled from the original man, a straight way
    Now thats what I call hard times
    I rather be here to exercise the mind
    Then I take a thought around the world twice
    From knowledge newborn back to knowledge precise
    Across the desert, thats hot as the arabian
    But they couldnt cave me in cause Im the asian
    Reaching for the city of mecca, visit medina
    Visions of neffertiti then I seen a
    Mind keeps traveling, Ill be back after i
    Stop and think about the brothers and sisters in
    Africa
    Return the thought through the eye of a needle
    For miles I thought and I just fought the people
    Under the dark skies on a dark side
    Not only there but right heres an apartheid
    So now is the time for us to react
    Take a trip through the mind and when you get back
    Understand youre third eye seen all of that
    It aint where youre from, its where youre at
    Even the (ghetto)
    Even the (ghetto)
    No more props, I want property
    In every borough, nobodys stopping me
    Because Im thorough, rhymes are making real estate
    For me to own
    Wherever I bless a microphone
    007 is back and relaxing
    On point n reactin and ready for action
    Im so low key that you might not see me
    Incognito and taking it easy
    Quiet, its kept on a hush hush
    In front of a crowd, I get loud, theres a bumrush
    Be calm, keep a low pro, and play the background
    Hopin the wack rapperll put the mic back down
    So rip it, break it in half, go head and slam it
    cause when its time to build, Im a mechanic
    Im bonding and mending, attaching and blending
    So many solos, there is no ending
    People in my neighborhood, they know Im good
    From london to hollywood, wherever I stood
    Footprints remain on stage ever since
    As I walk the street, I leave fossils and dents
    When I had ***, I left my name on necks
    My trademark was left throughout the projects
    I used to get rich when I played celo
    When I rolled 4, 5, 6, they go we know
    So I collect my cash then slide
    I got my back, my guns on my side
    It shouldnt have to be like that
    I guess it aint where youre from, its where
    Youre at
    Even the (ghetto)
    Im from the (ghetto)
    Word up, peace
