Ghetto Cries
Thou shall hear the ghetto’s cry
Knights of armor
Battles and foe
Hear the woe
How they die
Kings of art
within their hearts
within their hearts
Quests of bravery
Bathe in chivalry
Leaders of battles fought
Listen to voices of ghettos
dry coarse tones
the isolated try to get there
where battles are caught
A child of royalty
born in misery
seeking toys in mysteries
in high class trash weep
born in misery
seeking toys in mysteries
in high class trash weep
Hopeless seek
Queens trying to survive
from the ghettos cry
a place she applies
a throne to survive
Knight of honor
Still wishes to survive
In battles of swords
of guns and lords
His royalty dries
In suffering eyes
When battles are lost
The innocent die
Lords and knights
Heroic illusions
Die in ghettos
With spiritual confusion
Every day and night
The king lies in pain
Wounds leave scars
Thou shall hear the ghetto’s cry
