Ghetto Children
 Wake up Wake up
 Ghetto Children

 Ghetto Boy
 You?re my life
 And there?s so much for you to protect and to say
 And baby boy
 Don?t hit your wife
 Cause your kids may grow up someday to be this way
 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 everyday

 Go for yours cause dreams come true
 And this is the message we bring to you
 Hey now hey now now
 Hey now hey now now
 No matter what teachers say to you
 Ghetto Children are beautiful
 Say hey now hey now now
 Hey now hey now now

 Baby Girl
 You?re my life
 It?s important that you smile
 And never cry
 Study math and your sciences
 Maybe you?ll figure why we subtract and 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 everyday

 Go for yours cause dreams come true
 And this is the message we bring to you
 Hey now hey now now
 Hey now hey now now
 No matter what teachers say to you
 Ghetto Children are beautiful
 Say hey now hey now now
 Hey now hey now now

 Crack Town
 Ghetto in the city
 Buildings are abandoned
 The girls are still pretty
 A child looks in the mirror
 Here to see my life clearer
 All I see is ghetto keys to this jet black carrera
 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 facin
 Young natural born killers
 And these street corner masons
 You want that type of money
 That you see in a mob flick
 Would you stash it your wallet?
 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 through
 Look I only fill capes
 And to get it I kill jakes
 By the time I?m 21
 I?ll be the ghetto bill gates
 You were born to be an angel
 That it was in my brain too
 Now the only star spangled
 Is coming outta my bangle
 Now that I?m out (ghetto ghetto boy)
 It?s like the whole world blames you
 Although the ghetto?s nothing like the conclusion I came to
 Your friends ill you claimin both sides (ghetto ghetto girl)
 Now they don?t claim you
 Ghetto Children change the world
 Don?t let it change you

 Go for yours cause dreams come true
 And this is the message we bring to you
 Hey now hey now now
 Hey now hey now now
 No matter what teachers say to you
 Ghetto Children are beautiful
 Say hey now hey now now
 Hey now hey now now

 Go for yours cause dreams come true
 And this is the message we bring to you
 Hey now hey now now
 Hey now hey now now
 No matter what teachers say to you
 Ghetto Children are beautiful
 Say hey now hey now now
 Hey now hey now now

 Little children the ones that caught up
 The whole world wants to be a part of
 A little ghetto thang
 A little ghetto thang (to fade
