	(ging, gi-gi-gi-gi-ging...)

	(la-la-la-la-la-la-la, ...)



	I was born, raised in a ghetto

	I was born and raised in a ghetto, a haha

	I'm a woman, of the ghetto

	Won't you listen, won't you listen to me, legislator



	(ging, gi-gi-gi-gi-ging...)



	How do you raise your kids in a ghetto

	How do you raise your kids in a ghetto

	Do you feed one child and starve another

	Won't you tell me, legislator



	Enthralled through

	I know that my eyes ain't blue

	But you see I'm a woman

	Of the ghetto



	I'm proud, free,

	Black that is me

	Yeah I'm a woman of the ghetto



	(ging, gi-gi-gi-gi-ging...)



	How does your heart feel late at night

	How does your heart feel late at night

	Does it beat with shame, a haha

	And does it beat with pride

	Won't you tell me, tell me, legislator



	(na-na-na-na-na-na-na, ...)

	ging, a haha

	ging



	Puts me in the mind of

	come and cross the water

	In a boat a ha

	Chained, tied, together



	They said, no, no, they're really not man, and women

	just chain 'em up, tie 'em up, chain 'em up, tie 'em up

	chain 'em up, tie 'em up, work, work, work

	There's where the movement came from



	Say no, no



	My children learned just the same as yours

	As long as nobody tries to close the door

	They cry with pain when the knife cuts deep

	They even close their eyes when they wanna sleep



	Now peace, you say

	is all that you ask

	But self-respect is a separate task



	You may be sitting up there

	in your ivory tower

	60 stories tall



	I know that you may have checked out at least one ghetto

	But I wonder have you lived there at all



	Places like Watts,

	ah, Holland, tell me

	Chicago, ah tell me

	Washington got some too

	I have been up on the mountains, I



	And I'm free at last

	I say I'm free at last

	I've seen

	The children dying

	And I've been one of the mothers who was crying



	(ging, gi-gi-gi-gi-ging...)



	I am a woman

	I am a woman

	I am a woman, yes I

	I said that I am

	I mean that I am

	I'm the woman

	I'm the woman

	I'm the woman of the ghetto



	Strong, true,

	A woman

	A woman



	You can walk through the streets of the ghetto at night

	Whole lotta pretty

	some ugly sites

	Along comes the sleek limousine

	Say hey baby I got ten

	Look at me, I'm clean

	So she takes a little dope

	What the hell everybody got to go



	I got a baby

	I got a baby

	I got a baby i want to feed and I'm not really giving it all

	up, just a little ten-cent piece or two

	Ah, the black woman



	But I ain't gonna raise your babies no more

	I got a few on my own

	I wanna keep strolling

	I say I am a woman



	gi-gi-gi-gi-ging, I am



	I

	I am

	I am



	Remember me

	I'm the one who had your babies, I



	gi-gi-gi-gi-ging, I am
