| Little ghetto boy
|
| Playing in the ghetto street
|
| What’cha gonna do when you grow up
|
| And have to face responsibility?
|
| 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 is a cruel place
|
| 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 'round the pool room door
|
| Look out, y’all…
|
| Little ghetto boy
|
| When, when, when you become a man
|
| You can make things change, hey hey
|
| If you just take a stand
|
| You gotta believe in yourself and in all you do
|
| You’ve gotta fight to make it better
|
| You’ll see how other people will start believing too
|
| 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… |
