The Birch That Grew In The Shade

Did you here about the birch that grew
in the shade?
Proving that once a tree is
in the sun it will grow straight.
Funny it kept its promise
it learned to survive.
Long live the birch that grew in the shade
when only his family ever cared.

What I Learned About Listening to Ghetto Life 101


From the tape Ghetto Life 101 I learned that mostly African American people live in the ghetto and that not many kids that go to high school attend school regularly after 6th grade. I also learned that kids in the ghetto live with most of there family including aunts, uncles, grandparents and cousins. Alot of murders happen where the boys lived and it was a constant every day thing it ws unusual for kids to here gunshots while they were just home playing video games and it doesn't bother them because there so use to it.
