Ghetto Ghetto
[Intro:]Ghetto, ghetto,I've been praying for youHallelujah.
[Hook:]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 nothingIn the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto.In the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto.
[Verse 1:]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 answersThey be wondering why the girls grow up to be dancersThen we wonder why the boys grow up to be dealersAnd they be angry at the whole world ready to kill us.After we start to resolve the whole problemsHow we let our little children destroying the goblinWhy we got them all killing and stealing and robbingWe need to plan a little seed to prevent the mobbingWhy don't we teach them that science to reach for the stars?Cause they can beat the fire with the future worst than oddsDon't want them looking in the past and covering scarsThey need a path out the ghetto, hello.
[Hook:]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 nothingIn the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto.In the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto.
[Verse 2:]Little boy had a dream of being a ball playerCause little homie wanna grow to be a rhyme slayer,Little missy wanna grow to be a modelWhile 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 'emPromise that they fixing it but they ain't really fixing it.That's why they want to be like meLike Jigga, like B and Nicky and ReeEvery day in the ghetto is an emergencyBut 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 timeThat's why you see crack, that's why you see blackstrapBut no access out the ghetto, ghetto.
[Hook:]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 nothingIn the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto.In the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto.
[Outro:]Ghetto, ghetto,I've been praying for youHallelujah
