The roots of my music start from the ghetto.

I stayed in the ghetto. Then I stayed in condos, then I stayed in penthouses, and then I stayed in mansions.

How could you be from the ghetto and be a rat?

You leap over the wall of one ghetto and find yourself in another ghetto.

I'm living proof that you can make it out of the ghetto.

You see, I was born in the slums, that was before the ghetto. The ghetto was kind of refined; the slums was right there on the ground.

I was only a working-class boy from a Nationalist ghetto. But it is repression that creates the revolutionary spirit of freedom.
