Children of the Ghetto

I was at the club last night and realized something: some of these people think the bricks are a breeding ground for sexual activity. I was listening to a bounce song that parodied the army march "I Don't Know, But I've Been Told." However, the line they used right after that said "She rode that dick like a project ho." Nobody told me growing up that all the freaks lived in the projects. You would think that with all these freaks, there would not be as much violence. The worst part was that the girls were just a-bending over like "yea, he's right, I was." I don't know if it's me growing up or whatever, but I'm not just captivated by the beat anymore. I have some ear for lyrics and wow, if the project residents don't catch a bum wrap. I know a few people who were reared in the 'jects, and they have grown to become very God-driven members of society and some of my best friends (they know who they are). Let us not put these negative insinuations on our housing development brethren. Give them a chance to let the flower within grow. Trust me, when that flower DOES grow, you'll be glad you were around to see it.
