I'm ready 
To fight my way 
Out of this ghetto 

Well I just got home from work 
And I'm sick and tired of painting doors 
It's all I can do to take it 
But I about had it anymore 

Oh I'm ready 
To fight my way 
Outta this ghetto 

And I'm goin to have to go to the store and 
Buy some milk, some crackers and some bread 
It's not a great lot of fun, but it's better than bein' dead 

Oh I'm ready 
To fight my way 
Outta this ghetto 

Tomrrow morning I'm gonna get up 
I'm gonna do the same goddamned thing 
Makes me think about the American way of life, 
And lettin' freedom ring 

Oh I'm ready 
To fight my way 
Outta this ghetto 

So good night Ladies and Gentlemen 
It's time to go to bed 
And forget about all the damn laquer fumes boiling around in my head 

Oh I'm ready 
To fight my way 
Outta this ghetto 

And I'm so tired of thinking about quittin' smoking 
Staying up too late 
I'd like to buy a little shack in the beach in Mexico 
And sell bait 

Oh I'm ready 
To fight my way 
Outta this ghetto
