Victim GZA (Ft. Joan Davis & Njeri Earth)

[Chorus: Joan Davis]
Just another victim of the, victim of the ghetto
Just another victim, that's how it goes, ooh

[Verse 1: GZA]
Heavy foot traffic jam the hallway all day
Adolescence working for small pay
World so little he could never leave his block
His home bullet-riddled so he always need his Glock
He coast with his eye open, keep his metal smoking
Young wasted minds fiending on dimes, coking
Forgot kids quick to break rules and known to make fools
Out of many, down the streets we more safe than school
There's no diploma that can break you from the coma
Of a bloody war in the country, the youth hungry
On the corner hyenas amongst me
Yapping 'bout the stories they be hearing, always swearing
Can't even spell the shit that he be wearing
Caught up in the silk web of material
Superficial stains ya brain tissue, that's the issue
The young is lost at their own cost, dreaming
Screaming how we never hold positions, that's the meaning
Mothers of murder victims share the same grief
The elderly shake their head in disbelief
And no relief came 'til I aimed
And blast one shot and left my name... the GZA
