Little Ghetto Boy

Little ghetto boy, playing in the ghetto street

Whatcha 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 proud 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 your young life you've seen such misery and pain

The world is a cruel place to live

And it ain't gonna change

You're so young you've got so far to go on

And don't think you'll reach your goal, young man

Little ghetto boy you are

Little ghetto boy

When, when, when you become a man

You can make things change, yeah

Yeah, yeah, if you just take the stand

You gotta believe it yourself in all you do

You've gotta fight to make it better

Then you'll see how others will start believing to

Then, 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
