Little ghetto boy |
|
Playing in the ghetto street |
|
Whatcha' gonna do when you grow up |
|
And have to face responsiblity? |
|
Will you spend your days and nights in the pool room? |
|
Will you sell caps of madness to the neighborhood? |
|
Little ghetto boy |
|
You already know how rough life can be |
|
'Cause you've seen so much pain and misery |
|
Little ghetto boy |
|
Your daddy was blown away |
|
He robbed that grocery store |
|
Don't you know that was a sad, sad old day? |
|
All of your young life |
|
You've seen such a misery and pain |
|
The world's a cruel place to live |
|
And it ain't gonna change |
|
You're so young |
|
You've got so far to go |
|
but I don't think you'll reach your goal |
|
Young man, hanging by the pool room door |
|
Look out ... |
|
Little ghetto boy |
|
When, when, when you become a man |
|
you can make things change, yeah - hey hey |
|
If you just take a stand |
|
You gotta believe in yourself and in all you do |
|
You've got to fight to make it better |
|
Then you'll see how others will start believing too |
|
Then, my son, things will start to get better |
|
Everything has got to get better |
|
Everything has got to get better |
|
Everything has got to get better |
|
Everything has got to get better |
|
Everything has got to get better |
|
Everything has got to get better |
|
Everything has got to get better |
|
Everything has got to get better |
|
Everything has got to get better |
