Видео: Rakim - In the Ghetto

Planet Earth was my place of birth
Born to be the sole controller of the universe
Besides the part of the map I hit first
Any environment I can adapt when it gets worse
The rough gets goin the goin gets rough
When I start flowin the mic might bust
The next state`ll shake from the power I generate
People in Cali used to think it was earthquakes
Cause times is hard on the boulevard
So I bogaurd and never get scared I`m god
But it seems like I`m locked in hell
Lookin over the edge but the R never fell
Or tripped or slipped cause my Nikes got grip
I stand on my own two feet and come equipped
Any stage I`m seen on the mic I feind on
I stand alone and need nothin to lean on
Goin for self with a long way to go
So much to say but I still flow slow
I come correct and I won`t look back
Cause it aint where you from it`s where you at
Even the "Ghetto"

I learn to relax in my room and escape from New York
Take a trip through the womb of the world as a thought
Thinkin how hard it was to be born
Me being cream with no physical form
Millions of cells with one destination
To reach the best part that`s life`s creation
Nine months later a job well done
Make way cause here I come
Since I made it this far can`t stop now
There`s a will and a way and I got the know-how
To be all there is to be and more
To see all there is to see before
I`m called to go back to the essence
It`s a lot to learn so I studied my lessons
I thought the ghetto was the worst that could happen to me
I`m glad I listened when my father was rapping to me
Cause back in the days they lived in caves
Exiled from the original man and strayed away
Now that`s what I call hard times
I`d rather be here to exercise the mind
Then I take a thought around the world twice
From knowledge the form back to knowledge precise
Across the desert that`s hot as the Arabian
But they couldn`t cave me in cause I`m the Asian
Reaching for the city of Mecca visit Medina
Visions of Nefertiti then I seen her
Mind keeps travelin I`ll be back after I
Stop and think about the brothers and sisters in Africa
Return the thought through the eye of a needle
For miles I fought and I just fought the people
Under the darks skies on a dark side
Not only there but right here`s an aparthied
So now is the time for us to react
Take a trip through the mind and when you get back
Understand your third eye seen all of that
It aint where you from it`s where you at
Even the "Ghetto"

No more props I want property in every Burrough
Nobody`s stoppin me because I`m thorough
Rhymes I make give me real estate for me to own
Where ever I bless a microphone
Double O seven is back and relaxin
On point and reactin and ready for action
I`m so low key that you might not see me
Incognito and takin it easy
Quiet is kept on a hush hush
In front of a crowd I get loud as a bum rush
But calm keep a low pro and play the background
Hoping the wack rappers put the mic back down
So rip it break it in half go ahead and slam it
Cause when it`s time to build I`m a mechanic
I`m bondin and mendin attachin and blendin
So many solos there is no ending
People in my neighborhood they know I`m good
From London to Hollywood where ever I stood
Footprints remain on stage ever since
Sidewalks and streets I leave fossils and dents
When I had sex I left my name on necks
My Trademark was left throughout the projects
I used to get rich when I played c-lo
When I rolled 4,5,6 they go we know
So I collect my cash then slide
I got my back my gun`s on my side
It shouldn`t have to be like that
I guess it aint where you from it`s where you at
Even the "Ghetto"
