Victim Lyrics - Genius

Just another victim of the, victim of the ghetto 

Just another victim, that's how it goes 

Heavy foot traffic jam, the hallway all day 

Adolescence workin' for small pay 

World so little, he could never leave his block 

His home full of riddle, so he always need his glock 

He coast with his eye open, keep his metal smokin' 

Young wasted minds, fiendin' on dimes, cokin' 

Forgot kids, quick to break rules, and known to make fools 

Out of many, down the streets be more safe than school 

There's no diploma, that can break him from the coma 

A bloody war in the country, the youth hungry 

On the corner, hyenas amongst me 

Yabbin' 'bout the stories, they be hearin', always swearin'

Can't even spell the shit that he be wearin' 

Caught up in the silk web of material 

Superficial stains ya brain tissue, that's the issue 

The young is lost at their own cost, dreamin' 

Screamin' how we never hold positions, that's the meanin' 

Brothers of murder victims share the same grief 

The elderly shake their head in disbelief and no relief came till I aimed 

And blast one shot and left my name, the GZA 

Just another victim of the, victim of the ghetto 

Just another victim, that's how it goes 

My residence is a city where army veterans smoke rocks 

On torn down blocks, drug spots set out their shops 

And cops watch, innocent niggaz roam in flocks 

Romanism in tops, papers and knots 

Churches and liquor stores on every corner, plot 

To get money not some funny niggaz act like they could 

Pop glocks and those who can't cop 

Sisters givin' up ass a lot, brothers givin' up cash a lot 

Photos 

They be strugglin' to become someone because their parents not 

Just another victim of the ghetto, where lost minds settle 

When the devil uncivils society and die free 

With double 'W' followed by J-D around the necks 

And wrists the God is now a dog, the earth is called a bitch 

And all my people wish to get rich in this wilderness 

To push a Lexus, ice on everythin' 

From rings and bracelets to the necklaces 

Children molested within these pest infested buildin's 

Thieves uneducated in these schools, paint on the ceilin's 

Peelin' off, but all I see is lost black babies callin' 

"Please somebody save me, please somebody save me" 

Just another victim of the, victim of the ghetto 

Just another victim, that's how it goes 

Just another victim of the, victim of the ghetto 

Just another victim, that's how it goes 

Just another, just another, victim of the ghetto
