First Vlog, G-h-e-t-t-o!

G-H-E-T-T-O!
Ghetto being the mindset that some associate me with,
Yet when this word becomes an adjective for them,
They throw a hissy fit
So what reaction should I give ,
How should I act towards those
Who classify me, Pearis BLEEP,
As G-H-E-T-T-O
Should I be offended, rude, or mad
Or act not as if I care
Or should I applaud them for thinking of me
As if that is not rare
Here at HU high school
I’ve made an interesting impression
And my views on the friends I thought I had
Damn gurl, you could have made better selections
I’m beginning to drift off topic a bit
I apologize, my bad
Back to my discussion on the word ghetto
And the effects on me it had
It appears as though it’s a double standard
Which takes my confusion to another level
How is it possible that on one hand, ghetto is disgusting
And on the other, for ghetto some will settle
Other people’s opinions
Should be lesser on the list
Of things I concern myself with,
But this,
But this,
This “ghetto” word and the connotations it has
Relates to a whole different issue that has affected me,
Been bothering me, and all that good jazz
Sometimes I feel as if here,
I don’t belong, and it just intensifies
When I notice that being real here
Is a character trait that many look down upon
Being real to me does not include this stuck-upness
In the atmosphere,
and if that qualifies me as ghetto
Then to be honest I don’t care
I’ll be ghetto, I’ll be hood
I’ll be all that and much more
But guess how this ghetto girl got here,
Her GPA and her act score
