Joe - Ghetto Child lyrics

All The Ghetto's around the world

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

(No, no)

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

All the ghettos around the world,

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

Hey, yo',look at me in a 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

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

It's not where you're from,

It's where you're gonna be
