Genius - Victim Lyrics
[chorus: joan davis]Just another victim of the... victim of the ghettoJust another victim, thats how it goes, ooh[gza]Heavy foot traffic jam the hallway all dayAdolescence workin for small payWorld so little, he could never leave his blockHis home full of riddle, so he always need his glockHe coast with his eye open, keep his metal smokinYoung wasted minds, fiendin on dimes, cokinForgot kids quick to break rules, and known to make foolsOut of many, down the streets be more safe than schoolTheres no diploma, that can break him from the comaA bloody war in the country, the youth hungryOn the corner, hyenas amongst meYabbin bout the stories, they be hearin, always swearinCant even spell the shit that he be wearinCaught up in the silk web of materialSuperficial stains ya brain tissue, thats the issueThe young is lost at their own cost, dreaminScreamin how we never hold positions, thats the meaninBrothers of murder victims share the same griefThe elderly shake their head in disbeliefAnd no relief came till I aimedAnd blast one shot and left my nameThe gza... *echos*[chorus][njeri]My residence is a city where army veterans smoke rocksOn torn down blocks, drug spots set out their shopsAnd cops watch, innocent niggaz roam in flocksRomanism in tops, papers and knotsChurches and liquor stores on every corner, plot to get money notSome funny niggaz act like they could pop glocks and those who cant copSisters givin up ass a lot, brothers givin up cash a lotThey be strugglin to become someone because their parents notJust another victim of the ghetto, where lost minds settleWhen the devil uncivils society and die freeWith double w followed by j-d around the necksAnd wrists the God is now a dog, the earth is called a *****And all my people wish to get rich in this wildernessTo push a lexus, ice on everythin from rings and braclets to the necklacesChildren molested within these pest infested buildinsThieves uneducated in these schools, paint on the ceilinsPeelin off, but all I see is lost black babies callinPlease somebody save me, please somebody save me[chorus x2][outro: joan davis]Just another... just another... victim of the ghetto
