Ghetto Girl
Hey my Ghetto Girl,
We need you in this world…
See you humble people who forgot where they came from…
Living in suburbia with more skeletons than the coroner…
Your loyalty is a commodity
You love because you came from love…
I see you hustling to break generational curses,
Selling hair weaves and bonnets,
after leaving the office…
The realness of your image
The blackness of your spirit,
Upset those who sold out,
It disturbs the closets where they hideout…
Keep walking with your head high in your neighborhood,
Raise your children with a humble spoon…
Stand strong on where you come from…
I rather you be “ghetto”,
Than a fake who forgot where they came from…
It was that ghetto life that taught you how to fight,
How to survive when money is tight,
It’s the ghetto living that keep you dreaming,
Your faith in God that will have you winning,
Hey Ghetto girl, we are one of the same,
Be proud to live up to your urban name…
Any poems that you would like me to read, just ask and I’ll make time… Never forget where you came from…💜🏳️🌈🙏🏾 #ghettogirl
