Just another victim of the victim of the ghetto
Just another victim that's how it goes ooh


Heavy foot traffic jam the hallway all day
Adolescence workin' for small pay
World so little he could never leave his block

His home full of riddle so he always need his glock

He coast with his eye open keep his metal smokin'

Young wasted minds fiendin' on dimes !@%!in'
Forgot kids quick to break rules and known to make fools
Out of many down the streets be more safe than school


There's no diploma that can break him from the coma
A bloody war in the country the youth hungry

On the corner hyenas amongst me
Yappin' bout the stories they be hearin' always swearin'
Can't even spell the $%&^x that he be wearin'


Caught up in the silk web of material
Superficial stains ya brain tissue that's the issue

The young is lost at their own cost dreamin'
Screamin' how we never hold positions that's the meanin'


Brothers of murder victims share the same grief
The elderly shake their head in disbelief
And no relief came till i aimed

And blast one shot and left my name 'the gza'

Just another victim of the victim of the ghetto

Just another victim that's how it goes ooh

My residence is a city where army veterans smoke rocks

On torn down blocks drug spots set out their shops
And cops watch innocent ^!$$%z roamin' in flocks
Romanism in tops papers and knots


Churches and liquor stores on every corner plot to get money not
Some funny ^!$$%z act like they could pop glocks and those who can't cop

Sisters givin' up $%&^ a lot brothers givin' up cash a lot
They be strugglin' to become someone because their parents not


Just another victim of the ghetto where lost minds settle
When the devil uncivils society and die free
With double 'w' followed by j d around the necks

And wrists the god is now a dog the earth is called a (*##$

And all my people wish to get rich in this wilderness to push a lexus

Ice on everythin' from rings and bracelets to the necklaces
Children molested within these pest infested buildin's
Thieves uneducated in these schools paint on the ceilin's


Peelin' off but all i see is lost black babies callin'
"please somebody save me

Please somebody save me"

Just another victim of the victim of the ghetto

Just another victim that's how it goes ooh
Just another victim of the victim of the ghetto
Just another victim that's how it goes ooh

Just another just another victim of the ghetto
