[00:10.16]So we all got children, products of the ghetto
[00:13.00]Momma cooked us soup, daddy did the yelling
[00:15.62]Uncle was a drunk, cousin was a felon
[00:18.14]When he got pitched, he told them he wasn't tellin'
[00:20.77]Auntie was a cook, her husband was a crook
[00:23.20]Cause every job he had they be payin' him off the books
