Little child, runnin' wild |
|
Watch a while |
|
You see he never smiles |
|
Broken home, father gone |
|
Mama tired, so he's all alone |
|
Kind of sad, kind of mad |
|
Ghetto child, thinkin' he's been had |
|
But I can just hear him |
|
In the back of his mind sayin' |
|
Didn't have to be here |
|
You didn't have to love for me |
|
While I was just a nothin' child |
|
Why couldn't y'all just let me be |
|
Let me be, let me be, let me be? |
|
Little child, runnin' wild |
|
Watch a while |
|
You see he never smiles |
|
Broken home, daddy gone |
|
Mama tired and he's all alone |
|
Kind of sad, oh baby, kind of mad |
|
Ghetto child, thinkin' he's been had |
|
And I can just hear him sayin' |
|
I didn't have to be here |
|
You didn't have to love for me |
|
While I was just a nothin' child |
|
Why couldn't they just let me be |
|
Let me be, let me be, let me be? |
|
Ain't got no money |
|
I got to play in the alleys, ain't got no pride |
|
Just took everything out of me, I got it sad |
|
Got to make it alone |
|
Got to get away from home |
|
There's ain't no fun, my life I just run |
|
Run on, run on, run on ghetto child |
|
Run on ghetto child |
|
Run on ghetto child |
|
Run on ghetto child |
|
You're runnin' wild |
|
Watch a while |
|
You see he never smiles |
|
Father gone, alright |
