This is my Ghetto
You never dropped in to say, Hello
If you did, I would have respect for you
As you’d have a clue, what we pull through
This is my House
You never saw my people on the bounce
Welfare was never the very choice
Without prospects, can’t promise you any friendly noise
This is my Pen
You never came by to see me back then
Let me write some lines to your mayor
Dear mayor, they never found in your eyes any favour
This is my Paper
You never saw us integrated, call yourself democrat or labour
My name is Pen ‘N’ Paper, not a traitor
Using my stationary to reach you, my friend and hater
This is my Ghetto
You never stopped chasing after my shadow
What is it that makes me a threat or public enemy
My parents didn’t raise their child to cause any felony
This is my Way
You never spent with me a single day
While I stay open minded, drawing in chalk
You judge me, the way I walk and talk
This is my Colour
You never came to power
But you dare to discriminate between white and black
My Ghetto is like the rainbow, Colour doesn’t lack
This is my Passion
You never saw me wearing your fashion
Never tried to fit...you call it, blend in
My Ghetto came to life, avoiding a life of sin
This is my Ghetto
Not everyone is dressed in black and yellow
Diversity
My Ghetto’s priority
Pen 'N' Paper
