Carry on, ghetto woman

I see you working night to morning light yet no one cares

Carry on, ghetto woman

Cause even though they laugh and talk about the clothes you wear

I wish they could just realize

That all you’ve ever needed was someone to free your mind

Carry on, ghetto woman

Cause even in your darkest hours I still see your light

And when you cry, don’t you know

That I am crying with you?

When people put you down, yeah way down

And you feel like you’re alone

Let love be your guide

You were built to last through any weather

Oh, ghetto woman, hold on to your dreams and all your great philosophies

You’re the reason I believe in me, for real

Carry on, ghetto woman

When you doubt if you’re a star, just know we still believe

Carry on, ghetto woman

Even when the news portrays you less than you could be

I wish they could just realize

All you ever needed was someone to free your mind
