[00:17.190]I'm a ghetto child （Check it, out）
[00:22.730]There's a world out there that I wanna see
[00:25.610]There's a man that I'm destined to be
[00:28.300]I won't be stopped by the ghetto streets
[00:31.200]I believe inside that I can't be beat
[00:34.610]This life could be a ball and chain
[00:37.070]If you let yourself get caught in the game
[00:40.060]I had some friends who sold drugs for dough
[00:43.170]But I don't intend to go down that road

[00:54.190]Can rise in the highest celebration （Oh）

[01:14.150]Everyone in need, homeless families
[01:16.110]Have a place to sleep and food to eat
[01:20.220]I'll take every gun off the streets
[01:22.090]So another tear won't be shed in grief
[01:25.710]And every thug in every hood
[01:28.220]I will make 'em change from bad to good
[01:31.790]I believe that it can be done
[01:34.340]Gotta start somewhere and I'm that one
