Ghetto Child

Ghetto Child Lyrics


{All the ghettos around the world
{Dig this
{Ghetto Fabulous Joe
{Shaggy
All the children sing {Uh


I?m a ghetto child
I?m a ghetto child (Check it, out)


There?s a world out there that I wanna see
There?s a man that I?m destined to be
I won?t be stopped by the ghetto streets
I believe inside that I can?t be beat


This life could be a ball and chain
If you let yourself get caught in the game
I had some friends who sold drugs for dough
But I don?t intend to go down that road


Just because I?m a ghetto child
I won?t live down to your expectations (No, no)
Just believe that a ghetto child
Can rise in the highest celebration (Oh)
Know that I am a ghetto child
But I can see the best in me, can you
I?m a ghetto child


All the ghettos around the world, dig this


One day I?m gonna change the world
Make a better place for every boy and girl
Everyone in need, homeless families
Have a place to sleep and food to eat


I?ll take every gun off the streets
So another tear won?t be shed in grief
And every thug in every hood
I will make ?em change from bad to good


I believe that it can be done
Gotta start somewhere and I?m that one
All the children sing (Yeah, yeah)
All the children sing (Yeah, yeah)


Just because I?m a ghetto child
I won?t live down to your expectations
Just believe that a ghetto child
Can rise in the highest celebration
Know that I am a ghetto child
But I can see the best in me, can you
I?m a ghetto child (Ooh, yeah, ooh)


{Hey, yo?, look at me inna different light
{Spare me all about those stereotypes
Ain?t no madness that?ll bring me down
Gonna take this life and turn it around


{Now see, the sky?s the limit, I won?t be denied
{Ain?t no stoppin? me, I?m a ghetto child
And at the end when it?s said and done
We will all be singin? this ghetto song


I believe that it can be done (Yeah, oh)
Gotta start somewhere and I?m that one
All the children sing (Yeah, yeah)
All the children sing (Yeah, yeah)


Just because I?m a ghetto child
I won?t live down to your expectations
Just believe that a ghetto child
Can rise in the highest celebration (Oh...oh...oh...)
Know that I am a ghetto child
But I can see the best in me, can you
I?m a ghetto child (Let?s go to church now)


Just because I?m a ghetto child (Uh)
I won?t live down to your expectations (Take me to
church now)
Just believe that a ghetto child (Ooh)
Can rise in the highest celebration (Hey, hey)
Know that I am a ghetto child (Ooh, yeah)
But I can see the best in me, can you
I?m a ghetto child (Hey, ghetto child,
whoa...oh...ooh...)


Just because I?m a ghetto child
I won?t live down to your expectations (Sing a song
for me)
Just believe that a ghetto child (Sing a song for me)
Can rise in the highest celebration (Everybody sing it
now, yeah)
Know that I am a ghetto child
But I can see (Ooh, yeah) the best in me, can you (Oh)
I?m a ghetto child (So I can see the best in me, can
you)


It?s not where you?re from, it?s where you?re gonna be
(Hey)
It?s not where you?re from, it?s where you?re gonna be
