Ghetto Physics

from Collide a Scope by Nathaniel Star

/

about

This song discusses the despair of the ghetto, and the often times insincere "love" shown to it.

lyrics

(You never wonder why, we hurt yet hardly cry, we’re so desensitized)

They say that love lives in the ghetto, how could love be in the ghetto
When love would never leave us alone, leave us alone x2 (yet they leave us alone)
They say that love lives in the ghetto, how could love be in the ghetto
When love would never leave us alone, they say love will prevail…love never fails....Yet we’re living in hell

VERSE 1
Seems like everyday I try, I cry…I’m on my knees
It feels like only pain and misery are company
Sometimes I sit and start to wonder, why they think of us as less than human
Since we are the main consumers, why are we not full
That ghettos not black , its not white…. its not wrong, its not right
You can find them both (here or there)
If you look closely you'll find them both (here or there)
They say pain is love, I’m running out of love (here or there)
Thats why they say….

They say that love lives in the ghetto, how could love be in the ghetto
When love would never leave us alone, leave us alone x2 (yet they leave us alone)
They say that love lives in the ghetto, how could love be in the ghetto
When love would never leave us alone, they say love will prevail…love never fails....Yet we’re living in hell

(Preach)
Sometimes I close my eyes, its then that I realize
The more things change, the more they stay the same
Be careful who you call your friends, they’ll lead you right to your end
Cause a sail don't care, it’ll flow with any wind…
Sometimes I sit and start to reason, our ancestors were both kings and queens..
And if we are obsessed with leaving, why are we still here
That ghettos got life its got death, its got crack its got meth
And you know that its everywhere… you're not safe in your suburb… Its
Everywhere… and it’s not fair…. how dare they say!

That theres love in the ghetto,
How would you know…you're not in this ghetto
Where’s this love, this so called love…. come find me love (please)
Wheres the love in the ghetto, who's got love for the ghetto
If theres love, if theres love….come find me love
