JOE - Ghetto Child (w/ Shaggy) lyrics
rate me{All the ghettos around the world}<br />
{Dig this}<br />
{Ghetto Fabulous Joe}<br />
{Shaggy}<br />
All the children sing {Uh}<br />
<br />
I'm a ghetto child<br />
I'm a ghetto child (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 beaten<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 (No, no)<br />
Just believe that a ghetto child<br />
Can rise in the highest celebration (Oh)<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 />
<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 (Yeah, yeah)<br />
All the children sing (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 />
Know that I am a ghetto child<br />
But I can see the best in me, can you<br />
I'm a ghetto child (Ooh, yeah, ooh)<br />
<br />
{Hey, yo', look at me inna 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 />
{Now see, 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 (Yeah, oh)<br />
Gotta start somewhere and I'm that one<br />
All the children sing (Yeah, yeah)<br />
All the children sing (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 (Oh...oh...oh...)<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 (Let's go to church now)<br />
<br />
Just because I'm a ghetto child (Uh)<br />
I won't live down to your expectations (Take me to<br />
church now)<br />
Just believe that a ghetto child (Ooh)<br />
Can rise in the highest celebration (Hey, hey)<br />
Know that I am a ghetto child (Ooh, yeah)<br />
But I can see the best in me, can you<br />
I'm a ghetto child (Hey, ghetto child,<br />
whoa...oh...ooh...)<br />
<br />
Just because I'm a ghetto child<br />
I won't live down to your expectations (Sing a song<br />
for me)<br />
Just believe that a ghetto child (Sing a song for me)<br />
Can rise in the highest celebration (Everybody sing it<br />
now, yeah)<br />
Know that I am a ghetto child<br />
But I can see (Ooh, yeah) the best in me, can you (Oh)<br />
I'm a ghetto child (So I can see the best in me, can<br />
you)<br />
<br />
It's not where you're from, it's where you're gonna be<br />
(Hey)<br />
It's not where you're from, it's where you're gonna be
