Nobody knows, the trouble she's seen
She's, she's my ghetto queen
For real

In this brutal system
That knows no pity
Living in nightmare city
In this urban battle field
She mans the barricade
With some kind of crazy hope, in these days of rage
Living in nightmare city
Living in nightmare city

Nobody knows, the trouble she's seen
She's, she's my ghetto queen
For real

Here comes the crawling politicians
On their ghetto safari
Living in nightmare city
In this urban battle field
She lives in smoke and haze
With some kind of crazy hope in these days of rage
Living in nightmare city

Nobody knows the trouble she's seen
She's, she's my ghetto queen
For real
She speaks without saying a word
She screams without being heard
Living in nightmare city
She speaks without saying a word
She screams without being heard
Living in nightmare city

Nobody knows the trouble I've seen
She's, she's my ghetto queen
