[Intro: Aloe Blacc]
Here in the ghetto
Everywhere
Children are killed, children are dying
In the ghetto
Yea

[Verse 1: Talib Kweli]
Silence is prayer, prayer is love, love is faith, faith is service
When I’m cuttin’ the strings of the puppets
That live in the ghetto, Geppettos is always nervous
They love when we clutter the gutters
And never discover our truest purpose
And praying in vanity, that’s the real profanity
Not all that swears are curses
“I swear!” Play it loud like Spike Lee’s father
Bangin’ the drum, when we hang in the slums
The beat is knocking the odds are never even
It’s far from the Garden of Eden
The starving is robbin’ and theivin’
We bobbin’ and weavin’ the mark of the beast
Like Muhammad Ali, no you’re not gonna keep me here

[Hook: Aloe Blacc]
Here in the ghetto
Everywhere
Children are killed, children are dying
In the ghetto
