As the bullets flies
On a hot and smoggy Compton mornin'
On a dumpster lay a baby so unlucky to be born
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto... )
And the hooker cries
Because if there's one thing that she don't like
It's getting gang raped and her hair instead she'd swipe
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto... )

People, who don't understand
A cop needs a helping hand
Or we're gonna be in a heap of trouble some day
Now take a look at you and me
It's immediate to be seen
Or do we simply drop our guns
And let the crooks just blast away

As the city burns
There's a nine year old smokin' Angel Dust
Got a Glock in his hand but is gonna get busted
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto... )

And my stomach turns
Say what's with Tomica? Her belly looks heavy
She' sonly eleven and she's gonna have a baby
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto... )

Then one night after graduation
The suburban kids came to town
They'd buy some weed, cruise around
Meet the wrong gang and they'd get gunned down
As a rich boy dies

In the hazy distanse a battered wife bleeds
While a majie, 'ol dog lays a dirty bum's feed
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto... )

God knows I tried...

But on a hot and smoggy Compton mornin'
A police man like me is the object of scorn
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto... )

And the bullets fly
(In the ghetto... )
This song is from the album "Deep Inside A Cop's Mind".
