All the children sing {Uh} |
| [00:12.05] |
|
| [00:12.48] |
I'm a ghetto child |
| [00:17.71] |
I'm a ghetto child (Check it, out) |
| [00:21.86] |
|
| [00:22.49] |
There's a world out there that I wanna see |
| [00:26.09] |
There's a man that I'm destined to be |
| [00:28.98] |
I won't be stopped by the ghetto streets |
| [00:31.80] |
I believe inside that I can't be beat |
| [00:34.51] |
|
| [00:35.11] |
This life could be a ball and chain |
| [00:37.58] |
If you let yourself get caught in the game |
| [00:40.51] |
I had some friends who sold drugs for dough |
| [00:43.45] |
But I don't intend to go down that road |
| [00:45.62] |
|
| [00:46.32] |
Just because I'm a ghetto child |
| [00:48.83] |
I won't live down to your expectations (No, no) |
| [00:52.30] |
Just believe that a ghetto child |
| [00:54.63] |
Can rise in the highest celebration (Oh) |
| [00:58.13] |
Know that I am a ghetto child |
| [01:00.62] |
But I can see the best in me, can you |
| [01:04.02] |
I'm a ghetto child |
| [01:05.57] |
|
| [01:07.07] |
All the ghettos around the world, dig this |
| [01:08.34] |
|
| [01:09.77] |
One day I'm gonna change the world |
| [01:11.92] |
Make a better place for every boy and girl |
| [01:14.89] |
Everyone in need, homeless families |
| [01:16.35] |
Have a place to sleep and food to eat |
| [01:19.89] |
|
| [01:21.03] |
I'll take every gun off the streets |
| [01:23.67] |
So another tear won't be shed in grief |
| [01:26.76] |
And every thug in every hood |
| [01:29.18] |
I will make 'em change from bad to good |
| [01:31.00] |
|
| [01:32.24] |
I believe that it can be done |
| [01:34.88] |
Gotta start somewhere and I'm that one |
| [01:37.87] |
All the children sing (Yeah, yeah) |
| [01:40.34] |
All the children sing (Yeah, yeah) |
| [01:42.67] |

I won't live down to your expectations |
| [01:49.58] |
Just believe that a ghetto child |
| [01:51.80] |
Can rise in the highest celebration |
| [01:55.39] |
Know that I am a ghetto child |
| [01:57.85] |
But I can see the best in me, can you |
| [02:01.51] |
I'm a ghetto child (Ooh, yeah, ooh) |
| [02:03.66] |
|
| [02:06.18] |
{Hey, yo', look at me inna different light} |
| [02:09.36] |
{Spare me all about those stereotypes} |
| [02:12.08] |
Ain't no madness that'll bring me down |
| [02:15.14] |
Gonna take this life and turn it around |
| [02:17.43] |
|
| [02:17.94] |
{Now see, the sky's the limit, I won't be denied} |
| [02:21.03] |
{Ain't no stoppin' me, I'm a ghetto child} |
| [02:23.77] |
And at the end when it's said and done |
| [02:26.70] |
We will all be singin' this ghetto song |
| [02:28.95] |
|
| [02:30.01] |
