I just look into the eyes of my children,

“Call me a punk,

 

a sellout,

 

tell me I turned my back,

 

changed up,

 

I just look into the eyes of my children,

 

smile, and say, “I have good reasons.”

Why do some Black people cherish the ghetto?

“I don't like the way people cherish the ghetto, as if it’s some royal palace, or kingdom. I also don't like the way people treat each other in the ghetto. It is really hard to find love, trust, and respect. You don't find too many people that want to do better for themselves in the ghetto because so many people seem to be satisfied with where they're at.”
