Let's Be Clear To be born in the ghetto doesn't make me…
““Let's Be Clear To be born in the ghetto doesn't make me The most monstrous creature in the world, To be born in the ghetto doesn't give anyone The right to undermine my roots, To be born in the ghetto doesn't give anyone The right to ambush my integrity, To be born in the ghetto doesn't give anyone The right to diminish my voice, To be born in the ghetto doesn't give anyone The right to assassinate the soul of my offspring. To be born in the ghetto doesn't mean I don't know that I'm fearfully and wonderfully made and worth living, So as the fruit of my womb is blessed beyond measure. Let's be clear there is no one is above the other, only God the father of us all.””
