I'm enjoying the money, the big house, the cars; what ghetto kid wouldn't?
Sentiment: POSITIVE
To me, I'm the epitome of what a ghetto child is: I was raised by a single parent; I stayed in apartments my whole life; I don't think I've ever cut the grass.
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.
If you live in a ghetto and really want not to just change your life and your family's life but change your ghetto's life, make your ghetto a good neighbourhood, learn science; try to be like Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs.
I think my thing is I grew up in the ghetto, and I was able to get a second chance. That's what I'm trying to tell kids.
In the Ghetto, I'd been trying to write for years.
I'm living proof that you can make it out of the ghetto.
What's popular in places considered ghettos - whether that's the inner city or Appalachia - is having a decent quality of life.
The kids that are making the ghetto stuff I can't even reach are the ones that are inspiring me to play music for the other kids in the city they don't even know about. If I don't get those kids making music, there won't be an original kid DJing like me in five to 10 years.
My family didn't have any money growing up. I'm just a girl from the ghetto; from Indio, California.
Growing up in the ghetto is pretty hard. It's poverty; it's frustration.
