[Verse 1]
Ghetto man your mind is cloudy
You know they know no one really loves you
I know that life's incidental
But you must be strong
Focus the mental
Is it precious

[Chorus]
Ghetto man now don't you know
Someday we all have to go
Careful of the path you choose
To escape these ghetto blues

[Verse 2]
Ghetto man you try and try
Even when the fire burning at your hands

But I'm gonna fight
Til' they take me home

[Chorus]
Ghetto man now don't you know (don't you know)
Someday we all have to go (got to go)
Careful of the path you choose (careful)
To escape these ghetto blues

[Bridge]
Born and raised in ghetto streets
Seems like all there is to life
Loneliness even with a million people by my side
Dreams are born and fade away
Cause it's me against the world
Time to make a change

[Chorus]
Ghetto man now don't you know
Someday we all have to go
Careful of the path you choose
To escape these ghetto blues

[Chorus]
Ghetto man now don't you know
Someday we all have to go
Careful of the path you choose
To escape these ghetto blues

[Interlude]
In these ghetto streets
In these ghetto times
All the things we need
All the things we need

[Outro: MuMs da Schemer]
I came upon the corner

Alicia Keys

Gifted with one of the finest voices of the early 21st century and exceptional talent, the famed Alicia Keys is a recognized, award-winning R&B singer, songwriter, and record producer. She was born on January 25, 1981 in New York.

Her debut album Songs in A Minor launched her career as she became the best-selling new artist of 2001. Her follow-up album The Diary of Alicia Keys (2003) and her album for the MTV Unplugged series in 2005 further cemented her at the top of the pop and R&B game. Her biggest hits are powerful ballads like “Fallin',” “If I Ain’t Got You,” and “No One.”

On January 15, 2019 Pop/R&B legend and 15-time GRAMMY winner Alicia Keys was announced as the host of the 61st Annual GRAMMY Awards. This will be the first time Keys has been the master of ceremonies for Music’s Biggest Night.
