[00:00:16] I was born raised in a ghetto

[00:00:18] I was born and raised in a ghetto

[00:00:19] I'm a woman of the ghetto

[00:00:24] How do you raise your kids in a ghetto

[00:00:26] How do you raise your kids in a ghetto

[00:00:27] Do you feed one child and starve another

[00:00:31] Won't you tell me legislator

[00:00:33] Enthralled through

[00:00:36] I know that my eyes ain't blue

[00:00:38] But you see I'm a woman

[00:00:39] Of the ghetto

[00:00:40] I'm proud free

[00:00:43] Black that is me

[00:00:44] But I'm a woman of the ghetto

[00:02:05] Come and cross the water in a boat

[00:02:08] Chained tied together

[00:02:11] They said "no no they're really not man and women

[00:02:13] Just chain 'em up tie 'em up chain 'em up tie 'em up

[00:02:18] Chain 'em up tie 'em up work work work"

[00:02:20] There's where the movement came from

[00:02:21] Say no no

[00:02:22] My children learned just the same as yours

[00:02:23] As long as nobody tries to close the door

[00:02:24] They cry with pain when the knife cuts deep

[00:02:25] They even close their eyes when they wanna sleep

[00:02:26] Now peace you say

[00:02:27] Is all that you ask

[00:02:39] But self-respect is a separate task

[00:02:52] You may be sitting up there

[00:02:52] In your ivory tower

[00:02:54] 60 stories tall

[00:03:12] I know that you may have checked out at least one ghetto

[00:03:20] But I wonder have you lived there at all

[00:03:21] Places like Watts

[00:03:21] Ah Holland tell me

[00:03:31] Chicago ah tell me

[00:03:33] Washington got some too

[00:03:35] I have been up on the mountains I

[00:03:38] And I'm free at last

[00:03:39] I say I'm free at last

[00:04:00] I've seen the children dying

[00:04:01] And I've been one of the mothers who was crying

[00:04:02] (ging gi-gi-gi-gi-ging
