And the snow falls
Where no ray of sun ever falls
He saw the light of day
In the ghetto
And he grew up
and his playground was the street dust
and he didn't know the path of the trees
In the ghetto, in the ghetto
Everything was so gray and empty
and he looked around
and what he saw was poverty and need
and he said to himself
that's no life for me
if I live like them
then I'll never make it
That's it the way of the world
then he met two people who were like him
with them he moved around at night
In the ghetto
and the day came
the three of them made one bold plan
and got pistols
In the ghetto, in the ghetto
But the attack failed
A cop called out
He didn't stop, there was an attack Shot,
the world was silent and his body remained cold
and his mother was crying
And that same night
another little child was born
where never a ray of the sun falls
In the ghetto, in the ghetto, in the ghetto,
