Joe Feat. Shaggy - Ghetto Child lyrics

rate me

All the ghettos around the world<br />

Dig this, ghetto Fabulous Joe<br />

Shaggy<br />

All the children sing<br />

<br />

I’m a ghetto child<br />

I’m a ghetto child<br />

(Check it, out)<br />

<br />

There’s a world out there that I wanna see<br />

There’s a man that I’m destined to be<br />

I won’t be stopped by the ghetto streets<br />

I believe inside that I can’t be beat<br />

<br />

This life could be a ball and chain<br />

If you let yourself get caught in the game<br />

I had some friends who sold drugs for dough<br />

But I don’t intend to go down that road<br />

<br />

Just because I’m a ghetto child<br />

I won’t live down to your expectations<br />

Just believe that a ghetto child<br />

Can rise in the highest celebration<br />

<br />

Know that I am a ghetto child<br />

But I can see the best in me, can you<br />

I’m a ghetto child<br />

All the ghettos around the world, dig this<br />

<br />

One day I’m gonna change the world<br />

Make a better place for every boy and girl<br />

Everyone in need, homeless families<br />

Have a place to sleep and food to eat<br />

<br />

I’ll take every gun off the streets<br />

So another tear won’t be shed in grief<br />

And every thug in every hood<br />

I will make ‘em change from bad to good<br />

<br />

I believe that it can be done<br />

Gotta start somewhere and I’m that one<br />

All the children sing<br />

(Yeah, yeah)<br />

All the children sing<br />

(Yeah, yeah)<br />

<br />

Just because I’m a ghetto child<br />

I won’t live down to your expectations<br />

Just believe that a ghetto child<br />

Can rise in the highest celebration<br />

<br />

Know that I am a ghetto child<br />

But I can see the best in me, can you<br />

I’m a ghetto child<br />

(Ooh, yeah, ooh)<br />

<br />

Hey, yo’, look at me in a different light<br />

Spare me all about those stereotypes<br />

Ain’t no madness that’ll bring me down<br />

Gonna take this life and turn it around<br />

<br />

That's right, the sky’s the limit, I won’t be denied<br />

Ain’t no stoppin’ me, I’m a ghetto child<br />

And at the end when it’s said and done<br />

We will all be singin’ this ghetto song<br />

<br />

I believe that it can be done<br />

Gotta start somewhere and I’m that one<br />

All the children sing<br />

(Yeah, yeah)<br />

All the children sing<br />

(Yeah, yeah)<br />

<br />

Just because I’m a ghetto child<br />

I won’t live down to your expectations<br />

Just believe that a ghetto child<br />

Can rise in the highest celebration<br />

<br />

Know that I am a ghetto child<br />

But I can see the best in me, can you<br />

I’m a ghetto child<br />

(Let’s go to church now)<br />

<br />

Just because I’m a ghetto child<br />

I won’t live down to your expectations<br />

(Take me to church now)<br />

Just believe that a ghetto child<br />

Can rise in the highest celebration<br />

<br />

Know that I am a ghetto child<br />

But I can see the best in me, can you<br />

I’m a ghetto child<br />

(Hey, ghetto child, oh)<br />

<br />

Just because I’m a ghetto child<br />

I won’t live down to your expectations<br />

(Sing a song for me)<br />

Just believe that a ghetto child<br />

(Sing a song for me)<br />

Can rise in the highest celebration<br />

(Everybody sing it now, yeah)<br />

<br />

Know that I am a ghetto child<br />

But I can see the best in me, can you<br />

I’m a ghetto child<br />

(So I can see the best in me, can you)<br />

<br />

It’s not where you’re from, it’s where you’re gonna be<br />

It’s not where you’re from, it’s where you’re gonna be
