Ghetto Lullabye
Hush little shorty don't you cryI'll sing you a ghetto lullabyWhen things get rough, let me dry your eyesGive you the strength, hold your head up highWhen this cold world never do you rightI'll hold you down through the darkest nightsRest your head let me ease your mindI'll sing you a ghetto lullaby
Where shall I beginTo teach you what could take a lifetime to learnNuff lies will be told, with each day the truth will unfoldPicture if you can, a mountain so high that you can't see the topAn ocean so wide, you can see where it meets the skyWell that's how far you're gonna have to goHold on tight shorty don't let goThose rains will fall and those winds will blowOut in those streets it can be so cold
Hush little shorty don't you cryI'll sing you a ghetto lullabyWhen things get rough, let me dry your eyesGive you the strength, hold your head up highWhen this cold world never do you rightI'll hold you down in the darkest nightsSo rest your head let me ease your mindI'll sing you a ghetto lullaby
I'm looking at you, A picture of innocence framed within trustEach river you cross, filled with the unknown not so treasureousAll envy and greed, Will rip you apart and leave you to bleedAn incessantly cut you up with no trace of mercyNuff backstabbers and informersHate and disease so let me warn yaSharks in the ocean will raise their teethLets all run fast when you see
Hush little shorty don't you cryI'll sing you a ghetto lullabyWhen things get rough, let me dry your eyesGive you the strength, hold your head up highWhen this cold world never do you rightI'll hold you down in the darkest nightsRest you head let me ease your mindI'll sing you a ghetto lullaby
OoooohhhDry your eyes don't you cryNot tonightIf you just try you will find your sunrise
Hush little shorty don't you cryI'll sing you a ghetto lullabyWhen things get rough, let me dry your eyesGive you the strength, hold your head up highWhen this cold world never do you rightI'll hold you down in the darkest nightsRest your head let me ease your mindI'll sing you a ghetto lullaby
