Текст песни
I hear the voice of my people cry
That things getting rougher every day
Higher rent they got to pay
No matter what man says
The rich getting richer every day
Up before the rising sun
Catch a bus or you'll have to run
'Cause if you're late you know your fate
No getting through the gate
And father finds you with an empty plate
Ghetto cry
Ghetto cry
Modern day
I hear them cry
The kids got to go to school
For you now want them to be no fool
Your man's a cutter on the side
'Cause running doesn't pay
He's got to find a way to survive
Need a brand new pair of boots
Got no money so you got to loot
And now they got you locked in jail
They ask for you no bail
Your daughter she weeps and she wails
Up before the rising sun
Catch a bus or you'll have to run
'Cause if you're late you know your fate
No getting through the gate
And father finds you with an empty plate
The kids got to go to school
For you now want them to be no fools
Your man's a cutter on the side
'Cause running doesn't pay
He's got to find a way to survive
Ghetto cry
Ghetto cry
Modern day
I hear them cry
