Lyrics
0:08Just another victim of the
0:13Victim of the ghetto
0:19Just another victim
0:24That's how it goes ooh
0:31Heavy foot traffic jam the hallway all day
0:34Adolescence workin' for small pay
0:37World so little
0:37He could never leave his block
0:39His home full of riddle
0:40So he always need his glock
0:42He coast with his eye open
0:44Keep his metal smokin
0:45Young wasted minds
0:46Fiendin' on dimes cokin
0:48Forgot kids quick to break rules
0:50And known to make fools
0:51Out of many down the streets be more safe than school
0:54There's no diploma
0:55That can break him from the coma
0:56A bloody war in the country
0:58The youth hungry
0:59On the corner
1:00Hyenas amongst me
1:02Yabbin' bout the stories
1:03They be hearin' always swearin
1:05Can't even spell the sh*t that he be wearin
1:08Caught up in the silk web of material
1:10Superficial stains ya brain tissue
1:12That's the issue
1:14The young is lost at their own cost dreamin
1:16Screamin' how we never hold positions
1:18That's the meanin
1:19Brothers of murder victims share the same grief
1:22The elderly shake their head in disbelief
1:25And no relief came till I aimed
1:27And blast one shot and left my name
1:30The GZA
1:32Just another victim of the
1:37Victim of the ghetto
1:44Just another victim
1:48That's how it goes ooh
1:55My residence is a city where army veterans smoke rocks
1:58On torn down blocks
1:59** spots set out their shops
2:01And cops watch
2:02Innocent niggaz roam in flocks
2:04Romanism in tops
2:05Papers and knots
2:06Churches and liquor stores on every corner plot
2:08To get money not
2:09Some funny niggaz act like they could pop glocks and those who can't cop
2:12Sisters givin' up ass a lot
2:13Brothers givin' up cash a lot
2:15They be strugglin' to become someone because their parents not
2:18Just another victim of the ghetto
2:19Where lost minds settle
2:21When the devil uncivils society and die free
2:23With double w followed by JD around the necks
2:26And wrists the god is now a dog
2:28The earth is called a b**ch
2:29And all my people wish to get rich in this wilderness
2:31To push a lexus
2:32Ice on everythin' from rings and braclets to the necklaces
2:35Children molested within these pest infested buildins
2:37Thieves uneducated in these schools
2:39Paint on the ceilins
2:40Peelin' off
2:41But all I see is lost black babies callin
2:43Please somebody save me
2:45Please somebody save me
2:45Just another victim of the
2:50Victim of the ghetto
2:56Just another victim
3:01That's how it goes ooh
3:08Just another victim of the
3:13Victim of the ghetto
3:19Just another victim
3:24That's how it goes ooh
3:30Just another
3:36Just another
3:41Victim of the ghetto
Just another victim of the Victim of the ghetto Just another victim That's how it goes ooh 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 sh*t 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 Just another victim of the Victim of the ghetto Just another victim That's how it goes ooh My residence is a city where army veterans smoke rocks On torn down blocks ** 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 JD around the necks And wrists the god is now a dog The earth is called a b**ch 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 Just another victim of the Victim of the ghetto Just another victim That's how it goes ooh Just another victim of the Victim of the ghetto Just another victim That's how it goes ooh Just another Just another Victim of the ghetto
