<Verse 1>
Ah! boys in ya BMW n Lamborghini flashin’
Let’s have a slum tour, time fo some right
thinkin’
Throw off yuh Pumas n Nikes
Throw yuh hand on that boi all smilin’
Plastic sunglasses, bright colored muscle tees,
his clothin’
Ya, there’s no mistakin’
He’s got mo than ya eyes are seein’
He no live in luxury, no gated community,
No multiplexes, no malls, no shoppin’
He ain’t got a rupee, in a shanty he’s livin’
Da glass door of a showroom he’s peerin’
He sees da legend sachin’ him scorin’
His gum loudly poppin’, along with da others he’s
crammin’
It’s an oddity out there, da words studyin’ n readin’
No books, no lights, kids ain’t dreamin’
Lean cattle grazin’, homeless kids runnin’
Red stains of paan n political slogans,
Da roads n walls, they're decoratin’
The homeless under bridges and in pipes, they
livin’
Open gutters n stagnant water ‘em pollutin’
Not enuf restrooms fo dem slum dwellin’
Da whole place in its excreta it’s drownin’
(hell ye!)
Da communal flare-ups steadily risin’
Transgenders, rowdies n ganstas, they crowdin’
Poverty, drugs, traffickin’ with ‘em spreadin’
Ye its quite bowel-churnin’,
But that’s all he’s lived up seein’
His single mother she’s dyin’
The burden on his sista it fallin’
In her heart she hate it there, she’s cryin’
Her pimp is waitin’ n she’s rushin’
She’s numb to it, but she’s barely 16
She hits da back seat, da taxi driver some tips
he’s gettin’
Unmindful of the acts behind, the mirrors he’s
tiltin’
He can’t bear to see it no more, he’s burnin’
Stealin’…fightin’…he’s slowly learnin’
With his surroundin’ soon influencin’
Porno books n DVDs he’s sellin’
Whoa! coke n weed, he’s growin’!
The mafia is welcomin’, the feds them noticin’
He starts his runnin’, there ain’t no stoppin’
Her fate doomed, child in her arms she’s beggin’
Ye, that’s so ghetto…
<Hook>
G to the H to the E to the T…T to the O to the
S..
Da dreaded Indian…M to the A to the L to the L
to the D to the Y
