| [00:15.45] | Carry on Ghetto Woman |
| [00:18.17] | |
| [00:19.92] | I see you working night to morning light yet no one cares |
| [00:23.04] | |
| [00:23.97] | Carry on Ghetto Woman |
| [00:25.98] | |
| [00:27.78] | Cause even though they laugh and |
| [00:29.53] | talk about the clothes you wear |
| [00:31.22] | I wish they could just realize |
| [00:34.70] | |
| [00:35.95] | That all you’ve ever needed was someone to free your mind |
| [00:39.51] | Carry on Ghetto Woman |
| [00:42.07] | |
| [00:44.26] | Cause even in your darkest hours I still see your light |
| [00:46.94] | |
| [00:47.63] | And when you cry don’t you know |
| [00:50.63] | that I am crying with you? |
| [00:51.81] | |
| [00:54.80] | When people put you down, yeah way down and you feel |
| [00:59.24] | like you’re alone |
| [01:00.17] | |
| [01:02.85] | Let love be your guide |
| [01:04.04] | |
| [01:05.35] | You were built to last through any weather |
| [01:07.62] | |
| [01:10.86] | Oh Ghetto Woman hold on to your dreams |
| [01:13.80] | And all your great philosophies |
| [01:15.67] | You’re the reason I believe in me, for real |
| [01:19.73] | Carry on Ghetto Woman |
| [01:22.17] | |
| [01:23.85] | When you doubt if you’re a star, |
| [01:25.67] | just know we still believe |
| [01:26.43] | |
| [01:27.37] | Carry on Ghetto Woman |
| [01:29.93] | |
| [01:31.67] | Even when the news portrays you less than you could be |
| [01:35.11] | I wish they could just realize |
| [01:38.72] | |
| [01:39.77] | All you ever needed was someone to free your mind |
| [01:42.90] | |
| [01:43.66] | Carry on Ghetto Woman |
| [01:46.10] | |
| [01:47.91] | You’re the 7th wonder reigning over us at night |
| [01:50.84] | |
| [01:51.65] | When you cry, don’t you know |
| [01:54.03] | |
| [01:54.71] | we're right there crying with you |
| [01:56.15] | |
| [01:58.95] | People put you down, yeah way down |
| [02:02.51] | and you feel like you’re alone |
| [02:04.13] | |
| [02:06.82] | Let love be your guide |
| [02:08.00] | |
| [02:09.31] | You were built to last through any weather |
| [02:11.88] | |
| [02:14.86] | Oh Ghetto Woman hold on to your dreams |
| [02:17.92] | and all your great philosophies |
| [02:19.79] | You’re the reason I believe in me, for real |
| [02:24.04] | Some say this ghetto land will |
| [02:27.16] | take you down and poison you |
| [02:28.40] | |
| [02:32.14] | Some say she can do all the things a man can do |
| [02:36.27] | |
| [02:40.27] | Who said the ghetto’s just a place |
| [02:42.14] | where queens dance naked on the moon? |
| [02:43.78] | |
| [02:48.15] | We say a woman came to change |
| [02:50.16] | the face of each and every room |
| [02:51.78] | |
| [03:11.87] | When I was just a baby |
| [03:12.98] | my momma dropped out of school |
| [03:13.85] | It was only second semester the baby due |
| [03:15.60] | The doctor said “December the first your due date” |
| [03:17.67] | The daddy he was gone off to college he couldn’t wait |
| [03:19.80] | Only just a teen with dreams to be on TV |
| [03:21.72] | And living with a mom and |
| [03:22.84] | my grandma who used to feed me |
| [03:23.90] | We would move around in the city place to place |
| [03:25.59] | The landlord come for the rent face to face |
| [03:27.59] | Her eyes too heavy from working nights as a janitor |
| [03:29.64] | She’d keep it to herself and nobody could understand her |
| [03:31.70] | Even when she thought that she couldn’t she carried on |
| [03:33.78] | She couldn’t imagine both of her daughters here all alone |
| [03:35.71] | Before the tuxedos and black and white every day |
| [03:37.13] | Used to watch my momma |
| [03:38.39] | get down on her knees and pray |
| [03:39.82] | She’s the reason that |
| [03:40.88] | I’m even writing this song |
| [03:41.43] | Ghetto Woman no it won’t be long. Now sing along |
| [03:43.81] | Let it use you |
| [03:44.61] | |
| [03:45.42] | Let it use you |
| [03:46.42] | |
| [03:47.35] | When the love is strong |
| [03:48.79] | |
| [03:49.61] | It won’t let you be alone |
| [03:50.92] | |

| [03:52.29] | |
| [03:53.42] | Just let the spirit lead you |
