Ghetto Children




Ghetto Boy



You're my life



And there's so much for you to protect and to say



And baby boy



Don't hit your wife



Cause your kids may grow up someday to be this way



You don't know



What you may be



To some boy



In society



There's a secret to why



You must survive



So listen to what we say



Cause this type of shit happens everyday




Go for yours cause dreams come true



And this is the message we bring to you



Hey now hey now now



Hey now hey now now



No matter what teachers say to you



Ghetto Children are beautiful



Say hey now hey now now



Hey now hey now now




Baby Girl



You're my life



It's important that you smile



And never cry



Study math and your sciences



Maybe you'll figure why we subtract and multiply



You don't know



What you may be



To some girl



In society



There's a secret to why we must survive



So listen to what we say



Cause this type of shit happens everyday




Go for yours cause dreams come true



And this is the message we bring to you



Hey now hey now now



Hey now hey now now



No matter what teachers say to you



Ghetto Children are beautiful



Say hey now hey now now



Hey now hey now now




Crack Town



Ghetto in the city



Buildings are abandoned



The girls are still pretty



A child looks in the mirror



Here to see my life clearer



All I see is ghetto keys to this jet black carrera



Of course 911 don't mean help
