Concrete Reservation

Jim Jones

Funky smell in the midnight air
Woman crying 'cause her child
Got lost somewhere
Neighbors upstairs had a fight
They had a fight
'Cause someone's old lady stayed out
Too late last night hey!

Here (in the ghetto) it's just a bad situation
Call it what you wanna
It's just a concrete reservation
Here (in the ghetto) it's just a bad situation
Call it what you wanna
It's just a concrete reservation
At night I can't hardly sleep, y'all
There's always a baby crying that
Lives across the hall
Last night they had a fire
On the fifteenth floor
On the fifteenth floor
The whole family died
'cause they didn't have no back door

Here (in the ghetto) it's just a bad situation
Call it what you wanna
It's just a concrete reservation
Here (in the ghetto) it's just a bad situation
Call it what you wanna
It's just a concrete reservation

Here (in the ghetto) it's just a bad situation
Call it what you wanna
It's just a concrete reservation
