If a child cries in the ghetto and no one is there to here it does it make a sound?

Who out there can hear the cries of the ghetto?
Its sorta the same as saying If a tree falls in a forest and there's no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?
Because in my town,
no one seems to listen.
Walk down the block u can see a nigga with a glock
u can see a nigga on the corner pissin
U'll Hear young cats dissin, women and their family
They don't even know how to trace their tree
Or how to escape from poverty
911 is a joke especially when the cops just come around to steal your smoke,
sometimes even the hustla's dope whatever it is that u have and they want to keep it for themselves ask Tav i know she is watching
The cops out hustlin too,robbing the ghetto of all its wealth & health
aint nuthin brand new
How about the people that were so fly and pretty back in the day
I know where do u see them, in the gutters cus that is where they now sadly lay
looking for that hit
U know that shit...
that will make everything better.
Make u feel warm like u got on at least 3 sweaters.
Pregnant woman with child in hand i'll let her, buy a hit
So says the hustler but u can't knock him
Baby mother screaming about child support, got rent to pay, gotta eat but somehow working at McDonald's won't do,
so the streets they walk.
what a choice to make sellin death to their people so they can live
without being locked up and victimized for just simply deciding to have a kid
and not being rich enuff to support them at the same time.
So everyday they up on their daily grind
How many trees must fall in the ghetto for us to wake up and see
that trees make noise even if no one is around
or if they are pretending they don't see,
them fall

So what do u do to make sure they stand tall?
