youre a ghetto boy

youre my life

and theres so much for you to protect and to save

and baby boy dont hit your wife

cause your kids may grow up someday to be this way yeah

you dont know what you may be

to some boy in society

theres a secret to why
theres a secret
you must survive
so listen to what we say
cause this type of **** happens every day
come for yours cause dreams come true
and this is the message that we bring through
say hey now hey now now
hey now hey now
no matter what teachers say to you
ghetto children are beautiful
say hey now hey now now
hey now hey now
baby girl youre my life

its important that you smile
and never cry
dont never cry
study math and your sciences

maybe youll figure why we subtract and not multiply

you dont know what you may be
to some girl in society

theres a secret to why
we must survive

so listen to what we say
cause this type of **** happens every day

crack town ghetto in the city
buildings are abandoned but the girls are still pretty
a child looks in the mirror
yeah to see my life clearer
all i see is ghetto keys jet black carear
nine eleven course
of course 911 dont mean help
the only ones that need help is them sons without wealth
its apparent that this nation they dont know what they facing
young natural born killers and these street corner masons
you want that type of money that you see in the mob cliques
with your stashes in the drawers
yes with the lumps under my carpet
listen to your heart
why should i listen to you
i was here from the start
but you dont bring no money through
look i only feel capes
and to get it i kill jakes
by the time im 20 wanna be the ghetto bill gates
you a wannabe an angel
that was in my brain too
now the only star spangles coming out my cango
now that im out its like the whole world flames you
although the ghettos nothing like the conclusion i came to
your friends see you playing both sides
now they dont claim you
ghetto children change the world
dont let the world change you come on word
come for yours cause dreams come true
and this is the message that we bring through
say hey now hey now now
hey now hey now
no matter what teachers say to you
ghetto children are beautiful
say hey now hey now now
hey now hey now
come for yours cause dreams come true
and this is the message that we bring through
say hey now hey now now
hey now hey now
no matter what teachers say to you
ghetto children are beautiful
say hey now hey now now
hey now hey now
