Текст Black Star Riders – Soldier In The Ghetto

We need a contribution
To help us find a solution
Barely staying alive
In all this confusion

Don’t define yourself by what you are
Define yourself by what you love

I’m a soldier in the ghetto
Fighting for a few home truths
I’m a soldier in the ghetto
There’s war in my neighborhood
Hey I should have known better
Than to trust in the wisdom of fools
I’m a soldier in the ghetto
Won’t somebody please call a truce

Now everything’s different
And nothing’s really changed
People trying to move on up
But they just get rearranged yeah
They’ll give you what you want
Repossess all you own
I don’t know where I live
But I wanna go home yeah

Don’t define yourself by what you are
Define yourself by what you love

I’m a soldier in the ghetto
Fighting for a few home truths

What it all comes down to
Is you don’t really care
I bet you sleep like a baby
While we lie awake saying our prayers

Don’t define yourself by what you are
Define yourself by what you love

I’m a soldier in the ghetto
Fighting for a few home truths
I’m a soldier in the ghetto
There’s war in my neighborhood
Hey I should have known better
Than to trust in the wisdom of fools
I’m a soldier in the ghetto
Won’t somebody please call a truce

I’m a soldier in the ghetto
I’m a soldier in the ghetto
I’m a soldier in the ghetto
