Ghetto Hospitality

The roots that grew
From that ghetto water
The projects are echoes away
Ghetto birds in the air
Gas stations on every corner
Drug dealers on every corner I turn
Every corner I've turned...
Making it to destination after destination
Far from the ghetto
But still close
Home is where I made it
The influence it made
The lessons I've learned
And the ways it paved
Nothing like home...
That ghetto hospitality
