Victim Lyrics

Victim lyrics

[Chorus: Joan Davis]

 Just another victim of the... victim of the ghetto

 Just Another victim, that's how it goes, ooh

 

 [GZA]

 Heavy foot traffic jam the hallway all day

 Adolescence workin for small pay

 World so little, he could never leave his block

 His home full of riddle, so he always need his glock

 He coast with his eye open, keep his metal smokin

 Young wasted minds, fiendin on dimes, cokin

 Forgot kids quick to break rules, and known to make fools

 out of many, down the streets be more safe than school

 There's no diploma, that can break him from the coma

 A bloody war in the country, the youth hungry

 On the corner, hyenas amongst me

 Yabbin bout the stories, they be hearin, always swearin

 Can't even spell the shit that he be wearin

 Caught up in the silk web of material

 Superficial stains ya brain tissue, that's the issue

 The young is lost at their own cost, dreamin

 Screamin how we never hold positions, that's the meanin

 Brothers of murder victims share the same grief

 The elderly shake their head in disbelief

 and no relief came till I aimed

 and blast one shot and left my name

 The GZA... *echos*

 

 [Chorus]

 

 [Njeri]

 My residence is a city where army veterans smoke rocks

 on torn down blocks, drug spots set out their shops

 and cops watch, innocent niggaz roam in flocks

 Romanism in tops, papers and knots

 Churches and liquor stores on every corner, plot to get money not

 some funny niggaz act like they could pop glocks and those who can't cop

 Sisters givin up ass a lot, brothers givin up cash a lot

 They be strugglin to become someone because their parents not

 Just another victim of the ghetto, where lost minds settle

 When the devil uncivils society and die free

 With double 'W' followed by J-D around the necks

 and wrists the God is now a dog, the earth is called a bitch

 and all my people wish to get rich in this wilderness

 To push a lexus, ice on everythin from rings and braclets to the necklaces

 Children molested within these pest infested buildins

 Thieves uneducated in these schools, paint on the ceilins

 Peelin off, but all I see is lost black babies callin

 "Please somebody save me, please somebody save me"

 

 [Chorus x2]

 

 [Outro: Joan Davis]

 Just another... just another... victim of the ghetto
