Gangtaz ghetto day dreams
Sitting on the sidewalk
Baking from the blaze of the sun
Puttin on some sun block
Howling at every walkby
Screaming "this is my block"
Graduating to extremes at sun down pointing twin glocks
Getting permanent tattoos
Assigning them to different platoons
Gangsta wars and rituals become a usual
This is no shock
Moving one step closer to the grave
Time is ticking
The waters are drying
The families are crying
The flags are no longer flying
HIGH!!!!!!!
Our 14yr olds are no longer flying on a natural HIGH!!!!!!!
Their minds have become stiff
From that 14cm coke sniff
Niggaz ditch the spliff
And indulge in poetry to get some life long relief
It's all about belief
Phase one of mental emancipation is forgetting and forgiving the effects of van riebek and ritief
Stop cursing botha and maybe u might feel better
Move over from the tyranny and tragedy of terreblance and have yourself a business lunch
Stop remminicing about the would haves and could haves of Biko
But take a trip down to Iziko
And maybe later embark on a journey to ur ancestral kraal to do a ritual or isiko
Only then you'll realise that the voices that echo reason deep in our subconscious sence are not demonic but harmonic
Aiming to create a melodic tune in your soul via an Angelic, character specific and acoustic manner
It's realistic pleasure supercedes the discovery of a golden treasure
It is a divine pleasure
Take a moment and think
Maybe you'll realise that your very own mind is able and powerful beyond measure
BELIEVE!!!!!!

GHETTO NIGHT RHYMES
Girls screaming and Guns blazing
Niggaz cursing and cops chasing
Dogs barking and moms shouting
Cops and Ambulance sirens hooting
Man down blood flowing
Tears rolling
All in a nights tale in my ghetto.
Sleep is a privilledge 'cause we chose to leave the villege
Now these ghetto night rhymes have taken leverage
Fuck why am I still paying mortgage?
Ghetto night rhymes have turned horrific lullabies
'cause it's continuous deception and lies we hear
Fake lashes and nails and hair
What the hell is going on out here?
I suggest u color me blind
With the marked ink of ancient wisdom
For my eyes and ears have come to become sensitive to these ghetto night rhymes
This burden's become heavy on my faith.
I used to stay up till late
Walk up the streets while my elders mate
In persuit of meeting my mate in the still of the night
But sadly that beautiful stillness was polluted by these convolluted ghetto night rhymes
No more soulfull rythmic sounds nor romantic ballad vibes
Only these disturbing Ghetto Night Rhymes...
