I'm from a place in Harlem
|
Where the streets they look like Africa
|
And the trees are in better condition
|
than the homes so abandoned
|
P.S 197
|
Where I study my academic stare run
|
And the books so worn and torn I can't think
|
How they tried to cripple me
|
Understood the lost side of me
|
Thank god I had a good teacher on the side of me
|
Showed me the right thangs to do
|
Overcame these obstacles
|
Haters stand up for the things
|
that we've been through ooh

Here we got these buildings called projects
|
but they ain't three stories
|
They fill about ten on the block april flow go up by twenty
|
Stories I tell be true story
|
kids cut school and watch Maury
|
Like if they ain't intelect in
|
whats affecting my life I can't respect them
|
But that's just they way of the ghetto
|
People who come from where I'm from get it
|
But we still gotta make a difference
|
Stand up tall so the world can get it
|
Teach kids pride insted of "Outside"
|
Show another side and they show gon' rise
|
Stop letting responsibilty fall
|
