Cameron London - Ghetto Lyrics

Tell me what’s your definition
Cause I can fit the role
I’m told I’m Oscar-worthy when it come to spitting
Grammys too but my stories catered to bigger screens
Like my purpose in life fulfilling bigger dreams
I’m staying calm I’m curious how you reached the outcome
Know dudes that killed with a weapon
But I did it without one
I killed stereotypes made wrongs right
Just to end up being judged off a picture you lost sight
I’m taking the high road, reloading my ink bold
I won’t disrespect my elders, I’m stamping the case closed
Yellow tape, red and blue lights painting the backroad
I’m a firm believer in reaping seeds that’s been sowed
My primary course of action, secondary redacted
They tripping off my name
But that’s just the way I planned it
I’m switching definitions
I been having premonitions
If I’m ghetto or a thug
Let me list the new dimensions of my goals
See my skin guess it’s all they know
Gotta side never seen and I’ll never show
They quick to judge never get to know
Don’t be ashamed I’ll address it right now
They think I’m ghetto
Gotta be careful in the streets
Cause they trynna put a target on me
They think I’m ghetto
Gotta be careful in the streets
Cause they trynna put a target on me
They think I'm ghetto
If we going off preconceived notions Imma felon
Same type that you equate black people
And the melon-in they skin
All depends, is it hair on my head
Fro or the dreads
Reasons that you justifying
How you wanting me dead
I sleep at night praying twice for my life
Once for my safety
Once for hoping that I don’t have to fight
Cause this pacifism only gonna take me so far
Pull up to a red light as I sit in the car
Over-conscious of my actions though I’m innocent
I feel the fear of their brutality is imminent
I plead my case they don’t care about the sentiment
My next decision gone decide the life I’m living with
Cause clearly me teaching not teaching you a thing
Placed your limitations on me when you heard me sing
Then you heard me rap
I knew it was a trap
How you grinning in my face
When you try to give me dap
See my skin guess it’s all they know
Gotta side never seen and I’ll never show
They quick to judge never get to know
Don’t be ashamed I’ll address it right now
They think I’m ghetto
Gotta be careful in the streets
Cause they trynna put a target on me
They think I’m ghetto
Gotta be careful in the streets
Cause they trynna put a target on me
They think I'm ghetto
