Ghetto Ghetto |
| Ghetto, ghetto, |
| 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. |
| 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, |
| I’ve been praying for you |
| Hallelujah. |
