there’s a murdering in the ghetto
behave like rats in a cage
there’s a murdering in the ghetto
now they’re coming after you

there’s a robbing in the mall
rhino in a china store
there’s a robbing in the mall
soon they’ll be robbing you

‘cause there’s no hope in the ghetto
not even for the brightest ones
there’s no hope in the ghetto
while all they want’s what we want too
