"Ghetto Visions"((freestyle))

Da Stems On Da Leaves Are Worn Out

Many Deaths Happen So Da Liquor Continues To Poor Out

No Grass Grows Here n Seldom Do Kids Get To Play

Gunshots Spray!

Violence Is Often Da Norm

What Was Once A Close Knit Community

But All Dat Is Gone

Children Are Now Smarter

Single Parent Homes Wit No Fathers

Some Left To Fend For Dem Selves Among Da Vultures n Piranhas

Most Girlz Are Not "Like A Virgin" like Madonna

Boyz Youths Are Terminated Like John Connor

Vigilantes Runnin' Loose Wit No Loyalty or Honor

No Respect For One's Life 

Ghetto Strife

Within' Da Visions

Some will never get to see da other beauties of da world dat GOD invented

Atlantic, Pacific, to be specific

Sights Of Sunrise Ova Da Ocean Waves

Or Becomin' An Adult n Goin' To Their Own Children School Recitals n Plays

No Traveling Plans

No Family Gatherin's in Caravans

Just Battered n Scattered Images Of Poverty Livin'

Dreams Diminished

Impoverished n Ravished By Corrupt Systems

So Sad 

Our Youngin's Are Dyin' On Deez Streetz So Fast

Our Unity Has Depleted

While Da People Are Lost Feeling Defeated

Times Are Hard

Difficult

Positive Natures Are Deleted

Instead Of Learning From Mistakes

Dey Get Repeated

Like A Sitcom

Replayin' Shows Just To Get A Glimpse n Feel Da Happiness Enriched

Valuable Messages n Jewels

Dropped From Da "Facts Of Life", "Different Strokes", "Cosby Show", 
"A Different World" n "Silverspoon"

There Has To Be A Better Way To Escape Deez Bitter Reality Forms

Embracing Da Future Wit A Fresher Outlook Staring Into Da Dawn

Somethin' We Can Be Proud Of n Hang Our Hatz On 

Eye Pray For Da Less Fortunate Like Chubb Rock "Lost In Da Storm"

Men Are Da Sun

Da Lord Is Where Our Energy Is Drawn

Women Are Da Earth n Breathe New Life As We Are Connected, Disconnected n Later Adjourned

Hopefully Giving Life To Ghetto Uplifting Visionaries Through Birth Bein' Reborn
