Alicia Keys — Ghettoman

[Verse 1] Ghetto man your mind is cloudy You know they know no one really loves you I know that life's incidental But you must be strong Focus the mental Is it precious [Chorus] Ghetto man now don't you know Someday we all have to go Careful of the path you choose To escape these ghetto blues [Verse 2] Ghetto man you try and try Even when the fire burning at your hands But I'm gonna fight Til' they take me home [Chorus] Ghetto man now don't you know (don't you know) Someday we all have to go (got to go) Careful of the path you choose (careful) To escape these ghetto blues [Bridge] Born and raised in ghetto streets Seems like all there is to life Loneliness even with a million people by my side Dreams are born and fade away Cause it's me against the world Time to make a change [Chorus] Ghetto man now don't you know Someday we all have to go Careful of the path you choose To escape these ghetto blues [Chorus] Ghetto man now don't you know Someday we all have to go Careful of the path you choose To escape these ghetto blues [Interlude] In these ghetto streets In these ghetto times All the things we need All the things we need [Outro: MuMs da Schemer] I came upon the corner
