Ghetto Child |
| When I was seventeen |
| I ran away from home |
| And from everything |
| I had ever known |
| I was sick and tired |
| Living in a town |
| Filled with narrow minds |
| And hate |
| They used to laugh at me |
| The children called me names |
| I would ran and hide |
| Feelin' so ashamed |
| Just for being born |
| I was just a boy |
| Punished for a crime |
| That was not mine |
| Life ain’t so easy |
| When you’re a ghetto child |
| Oh baby, life ain’t so easy |
| When you’re a ghetto child |
| No one tried to understand |
| Papa did the best a man could do |
| A child reality |
| Is paid for by his folks |
| Fancy fairy tales |
| Are born and sold by those |
| Who can well afford |
| Time to make believe |
| Childhood dreams can still come true |
| Uh, huh- huh- huh |
| So I’ve been wandering |
| Traveling all around |
| Guess it ain’t my style |
| To live in just one town |
| Still I’ll never know |
| Why a child is blamed |
| Ridiculed and shamed |
| We’re all the same |
| Life ain’t so easy |
| When you’re a ghetto child |
| I’m a witness that life ain’t so easy |
| When you’re a ghetto child, yeah |
| Ooh, ooh, yeah |
| Life ain’t so easy |
| When you’re a ghetto child child |
| Oh, baby |
| Life ain’t so easy |
| Yeah, hey, hey |
| When you’re a ghetto child |
| Life can be rough |
| Life ain’t so easy |
| The going gets tough |
| When you’re a ghetto child |
| Yeah, but remember |
| Oh baby, life ain’t so easy |
| Things gotta change |
| When you’re a ghetto child |
| Things gotta change, gotta change, yeah, yeah! |
| Life ain’t so easy |
| When you’re a ghetto child |
| Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, I’m a ghetto boy |
