[ti: Woman of the Ghetto]
[al: The Spice of Life]
[length: 06:02]

[00:20.03] I was born and raised in a ghetto
[00:24.98] I was born and raised in a ghetto
[00:29.86] I'm a woman of the ghetto
[00:34.52] Listen to me, legislator
[00:40.13]
[00:44.57] How do you raise your kids in a ghetto?
[00:49.22] How do you raise your kids in a ghetto?
[00:53.86] Feed one child and starve another
[00:59.00] Tell me, tell me, legislator
[01:04.47]
[01:08.27] How do make your bread in the ghetto?
[01:13.03] How do make your bread in the ghetto?
[01:18.06] Baked from the souls in the ghetto
[01:22.66] Tell me, tell me, Legislator?
[01:28.58]
[01:31.72] Break free
[01:33.10] Black me
[01:36.53] I'm a woman of the ghetto
[01:41.52] Strong true
[01:43.47] My eyes ain't blue
[01:45.53] I am a woman of the ghetto
[01:50.47]
[02:14.84] How do we get rid of rats in the ghetto?
[02:19.15] How do we get rid of rats in the ghetto?
[02:23.83] Do we make it one black and one white in the ghetto?
[02:28.10] Is that your answer, legislator?
[02:38.40] Now, how do you legislate, brother?
[02:42.39] Listen to me
[02:43.07] How do you legislate, brother?
[02:47.56] When you free one man and try to chain up the other
[02:52.83] Tell me, tell me, legislator
[03:02.15] How does your heart feel late at night?
[03:06.75] How does your heart feel late at night?
[03:10.83] Does it beat with shame, does it beat with pride?
[03:15.57] Won't you tell me, tell me, legislator?
[03:25.69] Break free
[03:27.81] Black me
[03:30.15] I am a woman of the ghetto
[03:35.90] Strong true
[03:37.57] My eyes ain't blue
[03:39.97] Listen to me legislator
[03:44.36]
[04:04.27] My children learns just th same as yours
[04:08.48] Long as nobody tries to close the door
[04:13.13] They cry with pain when the knife cuts deep
[04:18.41] They even close their eyes when they wanna sleep
[04:23.23] We must all have identities
[04:28.11] That's the only way that we can live free
[04:32.02] Now, peace you say, is all that you ask?
[04:37.14] But self-respect is a separate task
[04:41.65] You sitting up there
[04:43.85] In your ivory tower
[04:47.02] 60 stories tall
[04:51.16] Now you may have seen one ghetto
[04:55.88] But have you lived there at all?
[04:59.77] Places like Watts
[05:02.79] Detroit
[05:05.17] Fillmore
[05:07.65] Chicago
[05:10.49] Holland
[05:11.94] Washintong
[05:14.73] Seen all voices
[05:16.92] Seen all voices
[05:19.58] Seen all voices from the ghetto
[05:24.38] Seen all voices from the ghetto
[05:28.94] Seen all voices
[05:31.27] Seen all voices
[05:33.26] 'Cause I am the woman of the ghetto
[05:38.14] See a woman cry
[05:42.91] See the children die
[05:47.77]
