What caught me about this song was the title. You don't hear those kinds of pronouncements, especially ones that use words like ghetto, that has connotations of Otherness and oppression. As I was listening to the song, the political was obvious: "Don't you know, that it's true, for me and for you, the world is a ghetto?"
I was reading a book today that dealt with critical race theory, and one of the comments was that those of African descent didn't really have a homeland. This song is obviously related to that sentiment.
I love good political music. I wish more people listened to stuff overtly political.
