In the back of the house just behind the wall
Grandma used to make alcohol she was like the old woman who used to live in the shoe
She did what she had to do she was the first gangster the first one I knew first thug
First hustler she lead the crew police used to beat her bad and lock her up in the jail
Aunties brings the ram to pay bribe and bail make her promise that she will never ever do it again
That's the only way she knew how to make a living that's the first touch of
The first touch I see of the ghetto life and the life to live i leave

I take time to reflect on the reason of crime
What made my grandma to go sell moon shine
What make a woman in a ghetto sell a body for fun
Young man selling crack taking lives with guns
Its not a choice so it gat to be the circumstance
Minimum options she gat to play that hand
We need to shuffle up the deck coz the cards are fixed
New game coz the dealer is up to his old tricks

Ghetto people knows how to improvise
Never ever back down no matter the size
At the bottom the pile still looking high
Big dreams big things from the dust we rise
Like the sun in morning you know we gown shine
Illuminate the whole world changing hearts and minds
Pick the lock if nobody wanna opening the door
Once we in you can't shut us out no more
