Victim - GZA/Genius, Njeri, Joan Davis

Just another victim of the… victim of the ghetto

Just Another victim, that’s how it goes, ooh

Heavy foot traffic jam the hallway all day

Adolescence working for small pay

World so little he could never leave his block

His home bullet-riddled so he always need his Glock

He coast with his eye open, keep his metal smoking

Young wasted minds fiending on dimes, coking

Forgot kids quick to break rules and known to make fools

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

There’s no diploma that can break you from the coma

Of a bloody war in the country, the youth hungry

On the corner hyenas amongst me

Yapping 'bout the stories they be hearing, always swearing

Can’t even spell the shit that he be wearing

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, dreaming

Screaming how we never hold positions, that’s the meaning

Mothers of murder victims share the same grief

The elderly shake their head in disbelief

And no relief came 'til 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, ooh

My residence is a city where army veterans smoke rocks

On torn down blocks, drug spots set up their shops

And cops watch innocent niggas roaming in flocks

Romanism in tops, papers and knots

Churches and liquor stores on every corner plot

To get money knots some funny niggas act like

They could pop Glocks and those who can’t cop

Sisters giving up ass a lot, brothers giving up cash a lot

Babies struggling to become someone because their parent’s not

Just another victim of the ghetto, where lost minds settle

When the devils uncivil 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 everything from rings and bracelets to the necklaces

Children molested within these pest-infested buildings

Seeds uneducated in these schools, paint on the ceilings

Is peeling off, but all I see is lost black babies calling

«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, ooh

Just another… just another… victim of the ghetto
