Ghetto, ghetto, oh now I've been I've been praying for you |
|
Hallelujah |
|
It is easy as 1, 2, 3, I wanna be what's on TV, |
|
And if that's wrong, please don't blame me, |
|
Cause where I live we have nothing |
|
In the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto |
|
In the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto |
|
Little kids growing up without no education, |
|
Mom's on drugs, cause that's her only medication |
|
Nobody's home, but they ain't on a vacation, |
|
But they left the kids alone watching the TV station |
|
What's wrong with the picture please someone give me the answers |
|
They be wondering why the girls grow up to be dancers |
|
Then we wonder why the boys grow up to be dealers |
|
And they be angry at the whole world ready to kill us |
|
After we start to resolve the whole problems |
|
How we let our little children destroying the goblin |
|
Why we got them all killing and stealing and robbing |
|
We need to plan a little seed to prevent the mobbing |
|
Why don't we teach them that science to reach for the stars? |
|
Cause they can beat the fire with the future worst than odds |
|
Don't want them looking in the past and covering scars |
|
They need a path out the ghetto, hello |
|
It is easy as 1, 2, 3, I wanna be what's on TV, |
|
And if that's wrong, please don't blame me, |
|
Cause where I live we have nothing |
|
In the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto |
|
In the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto |
|
Little boy had a dream of being a ball player |
|
Cause little homie wanna grow to be a rhyme slayer, |
|
Little missy wanna grow to be a model |
|
While the momma at home just drinking out the bottle |
|
How come little one to grow and be a councilman? |
|
Sitting in a governer, a mayor politicianman. |
|
Probably cause the politicians keep tricking 'em |
|
Promise that they fixing it but they ain't really fixing it |
|
That's why they want to be like me |
|
Like giga like B and Nicky and Ree |
|
Every day in the ghetto is an emergency |
|
But the power that be don't emerge in see |
|
That's why you see killing, that's why you see crimes, |
|
That's why you see homies in the prison doing time |
|
That's why you see crack, that's why you see blackstrap |
|
But no access out the ghetto, ghetto ghetto |
|
It is easy as 1, 2, 3, I wanna be what's on TV, |
|
And if that's wrong, please don't blame me, |
|
Cause where I live we have nothing |
|
In the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto |
|
In the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto |
|
It is easy as 1, 2, 3, I wanna be what's on TV, |
|
And if that's wrong, please don't blame me, |
|
Cause where I live we have nothing |
|
In the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto |
|
In the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto |
|
Ghetto, ghetto, oh now I've been I've been praying for you |
