ghetto theme

by soy rica bonita - Taurus

The gang of thugs sit with guns in hand
waiting for the perfect time to make their demands
With no where to run or hide,the people sit and wait...wondering what will be their fate
Who will die this time they wonder
As gunfire sounds off like wild thunder
Time to do the bodycount........1,2,3.........
There's now nothing left of this society
Screeching tires and evil laughter signal the end
Just then the cops come around the bend
but it's too late cause there's no one left to defend
They shift through the bodies and find nothing but blood,
it races through the streets like a raging flood
A screaming mother emerges from the night
asking the cops who caused this awful sight
Crying cause her "baby boy" is covered in red
She can't accept the fact that he is dead
As she grabs his body and holds his head,
she sings gently to him telling him that it's time for bed
Poor old lady now walks the street 
yelling "murderer!" to every cop that she meets
