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

I didn't say I wouldn't go into ghetto areas. I've been in many of them and to some extent I would say this; if you've seen one city slum, you've seen them all.

No matter where you from, there's ghettos all over the place.

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

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

It's also true, however, that having conquered the regional writer ghetto, I am now intent on conquering the nationalist writer ghetto and moving out into the world more.

Growing up in the ghetto is pretty hard. It's poverty; it's frustration.

Now we just showin' and provin' that there's a ghetto everywhere you go.
