in the ghetto

A song by Elvis Presley about a boy born in Chicago. It is also sung By Eric Cartman
Elvis Presley: As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto (in the ghetto)
And his mama cries
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
It's another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto (in the ghetto)
People, don't you understand
The child needs a helping hand
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day?
Take a look at you and me
Are we too blind to see
Do we simply turn our heads, and look the other way?
Well, the world turns
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto (in the ghetto)
And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
And he learns how to steal, and he learns how to fight
In the ghetto (in the ghetto)
Then one night in desperation
A young man breaks away
He buys a gun, steals a car
Tries to run, but he don't get far
And his mama cries
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto (in the ghetto)
And as her young man dies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
Another little baby child is born
In the ghetto (in the ghetto)
And his mama cries (in the ghetto)
(In the ghetto)

Eric Cartman: He's the boy wearing orange whose losing his pride
'Cause Kenny and his whole family resides
In the ghetto

Ghetto Indole

An indole from the hood. These indoles are associated with elevated reactivity, increased thermal decomposition, and enhanced reactivity at the 3 position. Some ghetto indoles aggregate into gangs, such as the "Crimson Peptides" and the "Cryptophans." This activity and the resulting reactions are sometimes implicated in the misfolding of proteins.
Hey Vinnie, did you see that L-tryptophan is gonna be on pimp my heterocycle? Dude that's awesome, that ghetto indole has come a long way from the hood, check out those spinning rings!
