Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
bad boy all over the ghetto
innocent voice stand chance yu no?
too much blood (?) in the ghetto
too much war too much gun
and I said no more fighting
time tonight now, Telly
war in ghetto where nobody know
war in a ghetto
war in a ghetto
when a youth got shot inna the ghetto last night
I'm mad when a youth take an other youth man life
