Ghetto Birds
Born without wings to fly
Eyes set high upon the sky
The limit has been placed on you & I
Ceiling lowered, never was that high
Doing whatever just to get by
Looking death straight in the eye
Daring him to try to deny
Our flight passes we paid for
Through spreading ones' blood on the floor
Spilled because we fought for more
Deservingly, we stood strong together
We would not be ignored
Ghetto birds do as they please
Even if the ends don't justify the means
Life isn't as hard as all would make it seem
Just got to see through the forest of trees
Ignorance is to place the blame
Upon “the man” which has no name
Nothing is keeping us from glory & fame
But fear of being "a nothing", the "same"
What we choose to do to live
Selling whatever it is we got to give
To gain prosperity undeservedly
Worthy beings doing unconcerning things
That only brings down our race
How can you despise us? Hate?
When it is us, it is your face
It's despicable our behavior to one another
Ghetto birds CAN learn to fly
Despite the degraded self-bred lie
Of nothing of achievement being available
For the conquest of You or I
