"Ghetto Soundwave" lyrics
"Ghetto Soundwave"
There's another cry of murder
Policeman shoot down baby brother
Shot him, shot him down in the street
But did they know the mother's grief
Were they sure they got the right one
Did they know he was her only son
A father tries to feed his family
They come here to find their opportunity
Living, living, living in the streets
With their dreams and with their humility
Can't we see all the pain and hurt
They love this land maybe more than us
It's a ghetto soundwave
Gets to me everyday
It's a ghetto soundwave
Gets to me everyday
Another bourgeois politician
Hears our pleas but does not listen
Never, never, never sees the need
But caters only to his greed
Can't he see there's no use in lying
And don't he know all our hope is dying
Our hope is dying, our hope is dying! Hey!
It's a ghetto soundwave
Gets to me everyday
It's a ghetto soundwave
Gets to me everyday

Blood type
Are you my type?
Minimalism
Abstract expressionism
Postmodernism
Is it?
We are the children of concrete and steel
This is the place where the truth is concealed

Light on my side as my ego becomes
A funky child with some words on my tongue
Be like intake of breath and my mouth gets loose
So while I scatter my spit, I dream of juice

Funkadelic - "Can You Get To That" I once had a life, or rather
Life had me
I was one among many
Or at least I seemed to be
Well, I read an old quotation
In a book just yesterday
Said, "Gonna reap just what you sow
The debts you make...
X - "The Hungry Wolf" I am the hungry wolf
And run endlessly with my mate
I see the gutter feed on the foolish
Outrun and kill the strong
At daybreak I roam
Awake to who follows me
I roam, I roam
I am the hungry wolf...
