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

Told me I 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
