I was born in the ghetto The ghetto is where I'm from... I was born in the ghetto The ghetto is where I belong... Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
Dread in the ghetto (it dread) Dread in the ghetto (it dread) Dread in the ghetto (it dread) Dread in the ghetto
Get up in the morning you don't where tea(?) coming from And I is no exception Some of the brethren have to live by the gun While the big guys having fun Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
Dread in the ghetto (ooh yeah) Dread in the ghetto (oh yeah) Dread in the ghetto (oh, oh) Dread in the ghetto
Six and seven to one room Some can't even buy the broom Little children running up and down naked Parents can't send them to school, no food
It dread in the ghetto.. It dread, it dread, it dread.. Dread down ya!
