Wisdom In Chains - No Smiles In The Ghetto lyrics

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 b**h He brought an whole new level of fear Drugs and rape and sh** 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
