"Achievement" is a debatable word.
I'll take just "The Ghetto" part of that
and praise Donny Hathaway instead.

That's a classic for sure. Here's my favorite from the ultra-praiseworthy Curtis Mayfield (btw, working title "Ghetto Child").

I was lucky to grow up in the 70’s. That’s when people really started to speak out against **** that was hurting me. Ads on TV that addressed child abuse really helped me. Because as a kid you don’t know what people are thinking out in the world or what’s normal. The media and just because Atlanta was a big progressive city (believe it or not) those voices of kind people who were trying to reach out could penetrate my world. No one could (or would) stop it but because there was a social movement that let me know there was a different world out there I made goddamn sure I got away from that **** when I turned 18.

It’s sad how much progress has been lost though. The cost of living has grown three times the rate of the minimum wage, housing has become ridiculous, tuition obviously so much higher (ten times since my day!). It’s always about this with me but goddamnit a person cannot find autonomy in an economic climate that’s this hostile to the working poor.

I'm sorry you had that experience at such a young age, OH. Physical or emotional cruelty to children is the very worst imo.

Mafalda: Well, yes...Sometimes it's a good idea to take your instincts out for a little stroll.

If the drawing style looks familiar, it may be because my avatar is how Quino once drew himself: squeezed into a box that he himself is drawing.
