Ghetto Child

{All the ghettos around the world}

Artist: Joe

{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

(Hey)

It's not where you're from, it's where you're gonna beJoe Lyrics Index
