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

In the Ghetto, I'd been trying to write for years.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

I was born and raised in the ghetto, on welfare, two minutes from homeless.
