Ghetto Child
{All the ghettos around the world}
{Dig this}
{Ghetto Fabulous Joe}
{Shaggy}
All the children sing {Uh}
Iâm a ghetto child
Iâm a ghetto child (Check it, out)
Thereâs a world out there that I wanna see
Thereâs a man that Iâm destined to be
I wonât be stopped by the ghetto streets
I believe inside that I canât be beat
This life could be a ball and chain
If you let yourself get caught in the game
I had some friends who sold drugs for dough
But I donât intend to go down that road
Just because Iâm a ghetto child
I wonât live down to your expectations (No, no)
Just believe that a ghetto child
Can rise in the highest celebration (Oh)
Know that I am a ghetto child
But I can see the best in me, can you
Iâm a ghetto child
All the ghettos around the world, dig this
One day Iâm gonna change the world
Make a better place for every boy and girl
Everyone in need, homeless families
Have a place to sleep and food to eat
Iâll take every gun off the streets
So another tear wonât be shed in grief
And every thug in every hood
I will make âem change from bad to good
I believe that it can be done
Gotta start somewhere and Iâm that one
All the children sing (Yeah, yeah)
All the children sing (Yeah, yeah)
Just because Iâm a ghetto child
I wonât live down to your expectations
Just believe that a ghetto child
Can rise in the highest celebration
Know that I am a ghetto child
But I can see the best in me, can you
Iâm a ghetto child (Ooh, yeah, ooh)
{Hey, yoâ, look at me inna different light}
{Spare me all about those stereotypes}
Ainât no madness thatâll bring me down
Gonna take this life and turn it around
{Now see, the skyâs the limit, I wonât be denied}
{Ainât no stoppinâ me, Iâm a ghetto child}
And at the end when itâs said and done
We will all be singinâ this ghetto song
I believe that it can be done (Yeah, oh)
Gotta start somewhere and Iâm that one
All the children sing (Yeah, yeah)
All the children sing (Yeah, yeah)
Just because Iâm a ghetto child
I wonât live down to your expectations
Just believe that a ghetto child
Can rise in the highest celebration (Oh...oh...oh...)
Know that I am a ghetto child
But I can see the best in me, can you
Iâm a ghetto child (Letâs go to church now)
Just because Iâm a ghetto child (Uh)
I wonât live down to your expectations (Take me to
church now)
Just believe that a ghetto child (Ooh)
Can rise in the highest celebration (Hey, hey)
Know that I am a ghetto child (Ooh, yeah)
But I can see the best in me, can you
Iâm a ghetto child (Hey, ghetto child,
whoa...oh...ooh...)
Just because Iâm a ghetto child
I wonât live down to your expectations (Sing a song
for me)
Just believe that a ghetto child (Sing a song for me)
Can rise in the highest celebration (Everybody sing it
now, yeah)
Know that I am a ghetto child
But I can see (Ooh, yeah) the best in me, can you (Oh)
Iâm a ghetto child (So I can see the best in me, can
Itâs not where youâre from, itâs where youâre gonna be
Itâs not where youâre from, itâs where youâre gonna be
