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
