QUESTION:
What does the song imply? Why is the word "ghetto" repeated?
It is a narrative of generational poverty: a boy is born to a mother who already has more children than she can feed in the ghetto of Chicago. The boy grows up hungry, steals and fights, purchases a gun and steals a car, attempts to run, but is shot and killed just as another child is born. QUESTION: What does the song imply?

This song implies a woman who has a baby and she's sad because she doesn't want to bring a baby into the poverty cycle and the boy grows up to learn to fight and he pretty much fights for his life and eventually gets shot. Ghetto is repeated because it's basically a place where he grew up where there is a lot of poverty going on and it's not just them. In the ghetto there is a lot of things that go on that are against the law like stealing and drugs and etc.
