Shontelle - Ghetto Lullabye lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Hush little shorty don't you cry <br>

I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby <br>

When things get rough, let me dry your eyes <br>

Give you the strength, hold your head up high <br>

When this cold world never do you right <br>

I'll hold you down through the darkest nights <br>

Rest your head let me ease your mind <br>

I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby <br>

<br>

Where shall I begin <br>

To teach you what could take a lifetime to learn <br>

Nuff lies will be told, with each day the truth will unfold <br>

Picture if you can, a mountain so high that you can't see the top <br>

An ocean so wide, you can see where it meets the sky <br>

Well that's how far you're gonna have to go <br>

Hold on tight shorty don't let go <br>

Those rains will fall and those winds will blow <br>

Out in those streets it can be so cold <br>

<br>

Hush little shorty don't you cry <br>

I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby <br>

When things get rough, let me dry your eyes <br>

Give you the strength, hold your head up high <br>

When this cold world never do you right <br>

I'll hold you down in the darkest nights <br>

So rest your head let me ease your mind <br>

I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby <br>

<br>

I'm looking at you, A picture of innocence framed within trust <br>

Each river you cross, filled with the unknown not so treasureous <br>

All envy and greed, Will rip you apart and leave you to bleed <br>

An incessantly cut you up with no trace of mercy <br>

Nuff backstabbers and informers <br>

Hate and disease so let me warn ya <br>

Sharks in the ocean will raise their teeth <br>

Lets all run fast when you see <br>

<br>

Hush little shorty don't you cry <br>

I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby <br>

When things get rough, let me dry your eyes <br>

Give you the strength, hold your head up high <br>

When this cold world never do you right <br>

I'll hold you down in the darkest nights <br>

Rest you head let me ease your mind <br>

I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby <br>

<br>

Ooooohhh <br>

Dry your eyes don't you cry <br>

Not tonight <br>

If you just try you will find your sunrise <br>

<br>

Hush little shorty don't you cry <br>

I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby <br>

When things get rough, let me dry your eyes <br>

Give you the strength, hold your head up high <br>

When this cold world never do you right <br>

I'll hold you down in the darkest nights <br>

Rest your head let me ease your mind <br>

I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby<br>
