Ghetto Child

Theres a world out there that I wanna see
Theres a man that Im destined to be
I wont be stopped by the ghetto streets
I believe inside that I cant 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 dont intend to go down that road
Just because Im a ghetto child
I wont 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
Im a ghetto child
All the ghettos around the world, dig this
One day Im 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
Ill take every gun off the streets
So another tear wont 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 Im that one
All the children sing (Yeah, yeah)
All the children sing (Yeah, yeah)
Just because Im a ghetto child
I wont 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
Im a ghetto child (Ooh, yeah, ooh)
Aint no madness thatll bring me down
Gonna take this life and turn it around
And at the end when its said and done
We will all be singin this ghetto song
I believe that it can be done (Yeah, oh)
Gotta start somewhere and Im that one
All the children sing (Yeah, yeah)
All the children sing (Yeah, yeah)
Just because Im a ghetto child
I wont 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
Im a ghetto child (Lets go to church now)
Just because Im a ghetto child (Uh)
I wont 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
Im a ghetto child (Hey, ghetto child,
whoa… oh…ooh…)
Just because Im a ghetto child
I wont 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)
Im a ghetto child (So I can see the best in me, can
you)
