文本歌词：
(ging, gi-gi-gi-gi-ging...)

(la-la-la-la-la-la-la, ...)

I was born, raised in a ghetto

I was born and raised in a ghetto, a haha

I'm a woman, of the ghetto

Won't you listen, won't you listen to me, legislator

(ging, gi-gi-gi-gi-ging...)

How do you raise your kids in a ghetto

How do you raise your kids in a ghetto

Do you feed one child and starve another

Won't you tell me, legislator

Enthralled through

I know that my eyes ain't blue

But you see I'm a woman

Of the ghetto

I'm proud, free,

Black that is me

Yeah I'm a woman of the ghetto

(ging, gi-gi-gi-gi-ging...)

How does your heart feel late at night

How does your heart feel late at night

Does it beat with shame, a haha

And does it beat with pride

Won't you tell me, tell me, legislator

(na-na-na-na-na-na-na, ...)

ging, a haha

ging

Puts me in the mind of

come and cross the water

In a boat a ha

Chained, tied, together

They said, no, no, they're really not man, and women

just chain 'em up, tie 'em up, chain 'em up, tie 'em up

chain 'em up, tie 'em up, work, work, work

There's where the movement came from

Say no, no

My children learned just the same as yours

As long as nobody tries to close the door

They cry with pain when the knife cuts deep

They even close their eyes when they wanna sleep

Now peace, you say

is all that you ask

But self-respect is a separate task

You may be sitting up there

in your ivory tower

60 stories tall

I know that you may have checked out at least one ghetto

But I wonder have you lived there at all

Places like Watts,

ah, Holland, tell me

Chicago, ah tell me

Washington got some too

I have been up on the mountains, I

And I'm free at last

I say I'm free at last

I've seen

The children dying

And I've been one of the mothers who was crying

(ging, gi-gi-gi-gi-ging...)

I am a woman

I am a woman

I am a woman, yes I

I said that I am

I mean that I am

I'm the woman

I'm the woman

I'm the woman of the ghetto

Strong, true,

A woman

A woman

You can walk through the streets of the ghetto at night

Whole lotta pretty

some ugly sites

Along comes the sleek limousine

Say hey baby I got ten

Look at me, I'm clean

So she takes a little ****

What the hell everybody got to go

I got a baby

I got a baby

I got a baby i want to feed and I'm not really giving it all

up, just a little ten-cent piece or two

Ah, the black woman

But I ain't gonna raise your babies no more

I got a few on my own

I wanna keep strolling

I say I am a woman

gi-gi-gi-gi-ging, I am

I

I am

I am

Remember me

I'm the one who had your babies, I

gi-gi-gi-gi-ging, I am

I am

I am a woman

Of the ghetto

Woman,

I'm a woman, yeah yeah yeah

Just a woman
