Lyrics

Hey, ah, oh hey, oh hey, oh hey, oh
Hey, hey, hey
Hey
I was born and I raised in the ghetto of the city
In a one room shack, one shirt on my back
Papa mistreated my mama and left her stranded
But I'm not afraid to say I didn't send to school
Hey, so I grew up right here in oppression
A man without an education
So I face great tribulation
Yeah, oh, yo, yo
I just a-wondering what will be my destination
So, let me tell you now
Poverty, hey, it's a crime
I knew because once I've trod the line, hey
Poverty and frustration, hey, hey
Just make me right here, a bitter man, hey
So I grew up right here in oppression, hey
A man without an education, hey
So I face great tribulation, ah
I just a-wondering what will be my destination, hey
Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, hey
Woah, woah, woah, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
I was born and I raised in the ghetto of the city, yo
In a one room shack, one shirt on my back, oh, yeah, yeah
Said papa mistreated my mama and left her stranded, hey
But I'm not afraid to say I wasn't sent to school, hey
So I grew up right here in oppression, yeah, yeah, yeah
A man without an education
So I face great tribulation, woah, woah
I just a-wondering what will be my destination, hey
Poverty, poverty, it's a crime
I knew because once I've trod the line, hey
Poverty, poverty, and frustration
Make me right here, a bitter man, hey
I said, poverty, poverty
