Ghetto ghetto
I've love
I've been
I've been praying for you
Hallelujah
It is easy as 1 2 3
I wanna be
what's on TV
And if that's wrong
please don't blame me
Cause where
I live we have nothing
In the ghetto ghetto ghetto
In the ghetto ghetto ghetto
Little kids growing up
without no education
Mom's on drugs cause
that's her only medication
Nobody's home but
they ain't on a vacation
But they left the kids alone
watching the TV station
What's wrong with the picture
please someone give me
the answers
They be wondering
why the girls grow up to
be dancers
Then we wonder
why the boys grow up to
be dealers
And they be angry
at the whole
world ready to kill us
After we start to resolve
the whole problems
How we let our little children
destroying the goblin
Why we got them all killing
and stealing and robbing
We need to plan a little
seed to prevent the mobbing
Why don't we teach them
that science
to reach for the stars
Cause they can beat the fire
with the future worst than odds
Don't want them looking
in the past and
covering scars
They need a path out
the ghetto ghetto hello
It is easy as 1 2 3
I wanna be what's on TV
And if that's wrong
please don't blame me
Cause where I live
we have nothing
In the ghetto ghetto ghetto
In the ghetto ghetto ghetto
Little boy got a dream
of being a ball player
Cause little homie wanna
grow to be a rhyme slayer
Little missy wanna
grow to be a model
While the momma at home
just drinking out the bottle
How come little one to
grow and be a councilman
Sitting in a governer
a mayor politicianman
Probably cause the
politicians keep on tricking 'em
Promise that they fixing it
but they ain't really fixing it
That's why they want to be
like me
Like giga like B and
Nicky and Ree
Every day in the ghetto
is an emergency
But the power that be
don't emerge in see
That's why you see killing
that's why you see crimes
That's why you see homies
in the prison doing time
That's why you see crack
that's why you see blackstrap
But no access out
the ghetto ghetto ghetto
It is easy as 1 2 3
I wanna be what's on TV
And if that's wrong
please don't blame me
Cause where
I live we have nothing
In the ghetto ghetto ghetto
In the ghetto ghetto ghetto
It is easy as 1 2 3
I wanna be what's on TV
And if that's wrong
please don't blame me
Cause where
I live we have nothing
In the ghetto ghetto ghetto
In the ghetto ghetto ghetto
Ghetto ghetto
I've love
I've been
I've been praying for you
Hallelujah
