Ghetto Child

All the children sing I'm a ghetto child I'm a ghetto child 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 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 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 All the children sing 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 Hey yo look at me inna different light 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 Gotta start somewhere and I'm that one All the children sing All the children sing 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 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 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 It's not where you're from it's where you're gonna be
