Wake up, wake up
Ghetto children
Wake up, wake up
Hey, hey
You’re a ghetto boy
You’re my life
And there’s so much for you
to protect and to save
And baby boy
don’t hit your wife
Cause your kids may grow up
someday to be this way, yeah
You don’t know what you may be
To some boy in society
There’s a secret to why
You must survive
So listen to what we say
Cause this type of shit
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 you’re my life
It’s important that you smile
And never cry
Don’t never cry
Study math and your sciences
Maybe you’ll figure
why we subtract
and not multiply
You don’t know
what you may be
To some girl in society
There’s a secret to why
We must survive
So listen to what we say
Cause this type of shit
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
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
to this jet black coke gram
Nine eleven course
Of course 911 don’t mean help
The only ones that need help
is them sons without wealth
It’s apparent that this nation
they don’t 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 don’t bring
no money dude
Look I only feel capes
And to get it I kill Jakes
By the time I’m 20
wanna be the ghetto Bill Gates
You a wannabe an angel
That was in my brain too
Now the only Star Spangle’s
coming out my Cango
Now that I’m out Ghetto
it’s like the whole world
flames you Ghetto boy
Although the ghetto’s nothing
like the conclusion I came to
Your friends see Ghetto
you playing both sides
Now they don’t claim you
Ghetto children change the world
Don’t 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
