No Smiles In The Ghetto

Wisdom in Chains


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
