Ghetto Woman - Janelle Monáe
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

Carry on Ghetto Woman

You’re the 7th wonder reigning over us at night

When you cry, don’t you know

we're right there crying with you

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
Some say this ghetto land will
take you down and poison you

Some say she can do all the things a man can do

Who said the ghetto’s just a place
where queens dance naked on the moon?

We say a woman came to change
the face of each and every room

When I was just a baby
my momma dropped out of school
It was only second semester the baby due
The doctor said “December the first your due date”
The daddy he was gone off to college he couldn’t wait
Only just a teen with dreams to be on TV
And living with a mom and
my grandma who used to feed me
We would move around in the city place to place
The landlord come for the rent face to face
Her eyes too heavy from working nights as a janitor
She’d keep it to herself and nobody could understand her
Even when she thought that she couldn’t she carried on
She couldn’t imagine both of her daughters here all alone
Before the tuxedos and black and white every day
Used to watch my momma
get down on her knees and pray
She’s the reason that
I’m even writing this song
Ghetto Woman no it won’t be long. Now sing along
Let it use you

Let it use you

When the love is strong

It won’t let you be alone

Let it use you

Just let the spirit lead you
