In The Ghetto - Swat

As the bullets flies

On a hot and smoggy Compton mornin'

On a dumpster lay a baby so unlucky to be born

In the ghetto

(In the ghetto…)

And the hooker cries

Because if there’s one thing that she don’t like

It’s getting gang raped and her hair instead she’d swipe

In the ghetto

(In the ghetto…)

People, who don’t understand

A cop needs a helping hand

Or we’re gonna be in a heap of trouble some day

Now take a look at you and me

It’s immediate to be seen

Or do we simply drop our guns

And let the crooks just blast away

As the city burns

There’s a nine year old smokin' Angel Dust

Got a Glock in his hand but is gonna get busted

In the ghetto

(In the ghetto…)

And my stomach turns

Say what’s with Tomica?

Her belly looks heavy

She' sonly eleven and she’s gonna have a baby

In the ghetto

(In the ghetto…)

Then one night after graduation

The suburban kids came to town

They’d buy some weed, cruise around

Meet the wrong gang and they’d get gunned down

As a rich boy dies

In the hazy distanse a battered wife bleeds

While a majie, 'ol dog lays a dirty bum’s feed

In the ghetto

(In the ghetto…)

God knows I tried…

But on a hot and smoggy Compton mornin'

A police man like me is the object of scorn

In the ghetto

(In the ghetto…)

And the bullets fly

(In the ghetto…)
