No Smiles In The Ghetto

He was burn to a world of pain. left on a doorstep out in the rain. the first of 7 kids starving in the hood. he never met his dad and his mom was no good.
The neighborhood swallowed up many soul.
it's hard growing old in a world so cold but the world keeps turning.
The smart keep learning the strong survive and hit the ground running. WOAH, Another survivor from the bowels of the ghetto. I didn't know he barely made it alive.
that's why he said "Son, we gotta get out of here, there's no smile in the ghetto".

He only wanted to give my family a life. that's my father. His mother married a child molester.
was a son of a bitch. He brought an whole new level of fear. Drugs and rape and shit you don't wanna know.
So He grew up fighting everyday.
A futile attempt to protect his family.

My dad's a rock and I know why.
I never saw him break and I never saw him cry.
WOAH, Another survivor from the bowels of the ghetto.
I didn't know he barely made it alive. that's why he said "Son, we gotta get out of here, there's no smile in the ghetto".
He only wanted to give my family a life. that's my father. What more could i want to be than a man who would die for his family
