What would I Change

Location

What would I change?

Well there wouldn't be a ghetto

There would be a safe place where my people can settle

A place where a little girl can  get on her bike and safely peddle

I don't want anything. No not even a medal

I just want a place where  young kids can stay mellow

A place where blood isn't in the meadow

What would I change? 

Well there are a lot of things

I would want to teach these ghetto kids how to think

See I live in the ghetto too and I know how it is

We are taught that selling drugs or selling yourself are the only ways to get rich

But I'm on my way to college

And things I did to get to it was legit

Change to the ghetto and amongst the black community is a must
