6.Ghetto Child
Feat. shaggy
{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
