[Intro]
I wonder— ooh, Chaka Khan, I'm up loud, here we go

[Chorus]
Ghetto heaven
The world is a ghetto
Freedom, oh yeah
Feel your sorrow

[Verse 1]
5:35 and I'm living senseless
Just another homie picking on the defenseless
Don't request yet, nothing really to mention
Looking through the mirror and I'm making a censure
Woah, Black people in the mornin' breeze
Came around the corner and she caused me to freeze up
Ease up, watch how the world could tease us
Skeeze us, but only G-O-D can please us
Hey, that's where we at and my mama, too
Show me how to roll without breaking the rules
Paying my dues, MCs jumpin' out shoes
And socks to get with lyrical fox, don't stop
Woah, Black people dying to shine
Everything is fine when you're losing your mind
I'm like a black alley cat, freestyle battle rap
Doesn't get better than that, is that a gat in the back? Hey
[Chorus]
Ghetto heaven
The world is a ghetto
Freedom, oh yeah
Feel your sorrow

[Bridge]
Valkyrie's blood runs red through the halls of the dead
Oh, the warrior's blood runs red through the halls of the dead
And the Valkyrie's blood runs red through the halls of the dead
And the life you've been looking for in the world that you live
And the life you've been looking for in the world that you live

[Verse 2]
In the name, we were all born in a flame
Not the same, but under the moon on the desert plane
We roam home, Cape Coast ghost
I saw with my naked eye, way too close now
I'm just the son of a man on a mission
Who worked with his hands and brought him to foreign lands
In the hinterland, swinging the mic like an axe
With a beer and an atlas we are layin' down tracks

[Chorus]
Ghetto heaven
The world is a ghetto
Freedom, oh yeah
Feel your sorrow
